Extreme Solution by Nintendo

Well, in Korea, Nintendo DS is drawing people’s attention.

Recently, Nintendo Korea has cutted the supply of NDSL (Nintendo DS Lite) to retailers who also sell R4 chips. R4 chip is a chip that enables people to utilize Nintendo DS as a MP3 player. However, it also enables the NDSL users to play illegaly downloaded games.

The supply to Yong San Electronic Shop, G Market, Auction, and many other online/offline shopping malls that also sells R4 chips, has been cut since late 2007. However, there are still NDSL being sold here. How is it being sold here? It is clearly unknown.

Nintendo Korea said that they cutted the supply of NDSL because they thought that the S/W they sell will lose popularity and only R4 will gain one (popularity). However, one person at Yong San Electric Shop -who wanted to remail anonymous- said “R4 chips enables the NDSL users to do various things. Basically, because of R4 chips, NDSL became popular. Doesn’t Nintendo Know that?” Well, it is basically true. Many of the people in Korea bought NDSL in order to use R4 chips. However, Nintendo doesn’t seem to know that…
