" The import and sale of R4 carts has been made illegal in the UK. The device, which allows pirated games to be played on the Nintendo DS, can no longer be imported, advertised or sold, according to MCV. The London High Court ruled against defendant Wai Dat Chan and Playables Limited, which had argued that the R4 can run custom software for legal applications on the basis that it breaks through security measures on the system in order to make it work, making it unlawful. &amp;quot;Nintendo promotes and fosters game development and creativity, and strongly supports the game developers who legitimately create new and innovative applications,&amp;quot; read a statement. &amp;quot;In the UK alone, there have been over 100,000 game-copying devices seized since 2009. Nintendo initiates these actions not only on its own behalf, but also on behalf of over 1,400 video game development companies that depend on legitimate sales of games for their survival.&amp;quot; Earlier this year, Nintendo announced an anti-piracy push in Asia and Europe.
