Nintendo Blocking Counterfeit Game Machines

Posted by Zonk on from the old-games-still-have-owners dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Nintendo won a court case Monday which "prohibits retailers from selling products that look like Nintendo's game controllers from its older Nintendo 64 game console, which can be plugged directly into televisions to play games."" These were apparently being sold nation-wide in mall kiosks. Shady.

    Nintendo deserves it.

    Who cares. I got my for $45 bucks (apparently some kiosks sell them for $60 and some for $45, they're exactly the same). It's a lot of fun. I actually own a hundred or so NES games (many of the ones I play on this gizmo) so I don't fell too bad about the ROMS being pirate. It also has a NES cartridge slot in the back so you can play your own NES games.
