Nintendo’s 3DS Will Fight Piracy With Technology

THQ’s publishing boss Ian Curran said that the Nintendo 3DS will in fact help ‘combat piracy’.

“What excites me even more [than 3DS games] is that there’s technology built in that device to really combat piracy,” Curran said to CVG.

“The problem with the DS market in the last few years, particularly with the DS Lite, is that it’s just been attacked by piracy. It’s made it almost impossible to shift any significant volume. The DSi combated it a little bit, but the 3DS has taken that a step further.”

Apparently when asked about the technology, and how it might work, Nintendo said that it’s too complicated to explain. Therefore all the information is pretty much locked away in their secret Japanese vault under the sea.

The 3DS piracy-war falls in line with previous reports from Nintendo.
