Nintendo wins Supreme Court case against flashcart sellers in Japan
Posted on January 19, 2016 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
In 2009, Nintendo as well as 49 other game companies filed a lawsuit against flashcart importers. The case has been appealed several times since then. Nintendo shared another update about the situation today, and it’s certainly good news.
Nintendo said in an announcement that the Supreme Court denied further appeals on the case on January 12. That means the import and sale of flashcarts in Japan will remain illegal. On top of that, the defendants will need to pay nearly 9.6 million yen (roughly $815,000 / €748,000) in damages.
