Once again, Nintendo are involved in more legal shenanigans. This time, Nintendo have taken it upon themselves to sue Imagine Media (the makers of dailyradar.com).

Read the article at www.dailyradar.com

Apparently, Imagine Media infringed on Nintendo's copyright by producing guides books with...get this, screenshots of Nintendo games(!). Now I can't really see guides selling if they were just pages of text, so I found the whole thing a bit of a sorry/funny affair.

To top it all, dailyradar.com have now decided to suspend Nintendo coverage until court proceedings are over.

It will be interesting to see who wins this one...

Well Nintendo make big bucks selling £10 guides on how to complete their games, with cheats and stuff. I guess Since Nintendo makes the games and programs the cheats and designs the levels etc...then they should make money off book publishers like this, although only a small amount per picture used in each book.
Guides on the whole I hate, tips should be made freely available, maybe even given away free with games especially Nintendo Games which get released at a £40 price tag.
