Nintendo Blocking Counterfeit Game Machines
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.
i know, right? i can just picture him marching his tight white furious ass into the store, dragging his poor embarrassed wife.
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.
You're wife sees something that you might like and she spends good money on it and you pitch a little fit and go back to the store to make a scene and return it? Nice going at making her feel like shit for trying to do something for you. Your wife should kick you in the nards and tell you to stop being a little baby.
Tell you what, I'll do you a big favor. Ask your wife to email me so we can hook up together and she can buy me a cool little gift like this and in return I'll show her exactly *how much* I appreciate it!
