As quoted from Reuters, Nintendo felt that they have suffered financial loss because of it, and decided to drag this five companies, which their name didn’t mentioned to the court of law.

Is this to do with devices like the R4 chip? Even amazon are now stocking add ons that allow copied ROMs to be played on the DS. Maybe Nintendo should move away from cartridge system.
