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

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

Which is why Nintendo’s lawyers deserve barbara-pit

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