Nintendo Spooks Retailers Into Pulling R4 Carts

R4 carts, you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. People who want to play pirated DS games, they love ‘em. Retailers in Akihabara, they love ‘em, because they sell a fuckton of them. But Nintendo? They hate ‘em. And may have started doing something about it. We knew that they’d begun to grow concerned over the carts late last year, but over the past week many specialist retailers in Akihabara have put up notices saying they’ll no longer be selling the R4, following threats made by Nintendo. Same goes for some Japanese online retailers. So is this the end for the naughty little cartridge? Eh, probably not. Nintendo may be able to strong-arm the little guy, but not the littler guys they don’t even know about. Or the internets.
