Nintendo, Capcom and 53 other DS software manufacturers have filed lawsuit today against four sellers of the R4 flash cart device for the Nintendo DS handheld in Japan.
A judge ruled in February that importing and selling the R4 in Japan was illegal but Capcom and Nintendo say the device is still available, at least from four stores. Nintendo even says the vendors are ignoring cease-and-desist letters, forcing the second lawsuit.
"We are expecting the entire society, including users, to recognise that our company and other software manufacturers have extremely sustained damages from proliferation of illegal instruments such as the Game Copying Devices," added Capcom, via GI.biz. "The computer industries have sustained serious damages because of those vendors, and we expect to influence the society to eliminate such illegal instruments from the market."
