We like to be ahead of the times now and then. This week, it’s emerged that Nintendo is feeling the pinch because of a little device known as the R4 Revolution. In Thailand, we’ve had the R4 available in malls and shops for a long time. It’s old news, but apparently people in the US are just picking up on it.

Basically, it’s a device that means you never have to buy another Nintendo DS game again. It works – with every game. You use filesharing services to get your games and then you download them. Slap them on a tiny memory stick and you can have as many games on a cart as your memory device can handle. Not that we do this, of course, but this is what we’ve heard.

Filesharing sites have been full of Nintendo DS roms for ages. We’re surprised it’s taken this long for the global media to pick up on this little filesharing snippet. Nintendo hasn’t gone after the filesharing services, but rather, the people marketing and exporting the R4. Good luck with that one.
