Default Nintendo drops the legal hammer down on ROM releases

Never mind a warning letter we are suing

Nintendo is getting nasty with those who want to make ROM releases.

In the past the outfit has allowed the game producer to settle on cease-and-desist orders or DMCA claims to protect its IP. However now it seems that Nintendo of America is going for the jugular.

It has filed a lawsuit seeking millions in damages over classic games' files being served via websites.

The Arizona suitalleges "brazen and mass-scale infringement of Nintendo's intellectual property rights" by the sites LoveROMs and LoveRetro.

These sites combine ROM downloads and in-browser emulators to deliver one-stop gaming access, and the lawsuit includes screenshots and interface explanations to demonstrate exactly how the sites' users can gain access to "thousands of [Nintendo] video games, related copyrighted works, and images".
