Ninty fights imports

Nintendo is starting an all-out war against importing games from Northern America and Asia.

Ferrago reports that Nintendo is starting an all-out war against all imports from Northern America and Asia:

Retailers importing Nintendo products to the UK and other European territories from North America and the Far East, will no longer just be up against Nintendo's displeasure, as it was revealed that the Japanese giant has now issued offending retailers with cease and desist warnings.

Offending retailers and importers will not only be barred from importing Nintendo hardware and software - they will also be inhibited from selling Nintendo products in the future. Another way to help stop this movement of products would of course be for Nintendo to release products in Europe at the same time as they do in America and Japan, thus removing the demand that such illicit supply fulfils.

Instead of thinking of global releasedates, Nintendo rather spends money in fighting the issue. Way to go Ninty!
