The gaming industry's fight to squash shady accessory sales continues. Capcom has announced that it and 54 other game makers (including Nintendo) have filed suit against four importers and/or sellers of the R4 Revolution DS device in Tokyo District Court. The R4 DS cartridge holds a Micro SD card within it, allowing users to run illegally copied DS games and homebrew software on the system.

　　Still widely available, according to Capcom. The suit echoes a similar effort Capcom and Nintendo spearheaded in July of 2008. In that case, five companies were targeted for the importation and sale of devices, like the R4 Revolution, and the plaintiff publishers won an injunction halting the distribution of such products in February. Capcom said that despite the ruling, the R4 and similar products have still been widely available, necessitating the new lawsuit.

　　"We are expecting the entire society, including users, to recognize that our company and other software manufactures have extremely sustained damages from proliferation of illegal instruments, such as the game copying devices, and the computer industries have sustained serious damages because of those vendors, and we expect to influence the society to eliminate such illegal instruments from the market," Capcom said in a statement.
