Nintendo and 53 other game companies joined together to file a lawsuit against the creators of the R4, a device that all of these companies considered a threat. The R4 in and of itself wasn’t bad, but it did provide many with a method of playing illegally downloaded ROMs.
Well, Nintendo and those other companies now have a major reason to celebrate. The Tokyo District Court has ruled in favor of the game publisher/developers, and now it is illegal to sell the R4 in Japan. This is a major win for the game industry, but it’s also a huge blow to the homebrew scene. Not everyone was using the R4 for illegal activities…just most.
