Not much info here but I wonder if these were some sort of fake NES/SNES/Mega Drive minis or just handheld emulation devices in general

I was wondering if shipping SD cards full of ROMs would ever come to bite the manufacturers in the ass and I guess it might have. Will this be a one-off thing or a sign of a wider EU crackdown? I think there was a warning earlier issued by some agency this month about how the solder in one of the Anbernic devices exceeded EU's maximum lead levels

Edit: There's a video of the Italian cops' raid on the warehouse where the devices were being held, looks like a large variety of different devices

Like, this would mean that if I took a rom for Super Mario Bros and hit ctrl-c ctrl-v 10,000 times you could say I have 10,000 video games. Thats insanity.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo's lawyer ghouls would argue you just described illegally producing 10,000 illegal copies of SMB and would need to be punished accordingly

Infinite crime.

Which is why Nintendo’s lawyers deserve barbara-pit

Hell, most lawyers in general, but especially IP lawyers.
