Nintendo 3DS 'will include new anti-piracy measures'
Nintendo's forthcoming 3DS console is to feature new technology designed to prevent software piracy, according to a leading publisher.
Ian Curran, executive vice-president of global publishing for THQ, told CVG that he has received assurance from Nintendo that the unit will include "sophisticated" anti-piracy measures which go beyond those seen on the DSi.
The platform holder will take a hardline stance on piracy with the new handheld after seeing revenues from its bestselling DS severely undercut by the ease with which games can be copied and illegally distributed. Mr Curran said it is particularly important to address this issue with 3DS given the expense of developing sophisticated 3D titles for the console.
