MBCook writes "In several recent releases, it seems that Atari published games for the Wii based on ScummVM, which was released under the GPL. Atari contracted Majesco, who contracted a company named Mistic Software with offices in the Ukraine. When the fact that the GPL was being violated was brought to Atari's attention, they were kind at first until it was discovered that Nintendo doesn't allow open source software to be used with the Wii SDK, so updated documentation mentioning the GPL wasn't an available solution. So, what happens to the games? 'There is a period of time in which all current copies have to be sold. Any copies beyond this period or any reprints get fined with quite high fine for each new/remaining copy. The remaining stock has to be destoryed [sic].' Atari and Majesco seem to have been very cooperative about this whole thing, but had their hands tied by the agreement with Nintendo."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/06/24/1449254/Atari-Sub-Sub-Contractor-Used-ScummVM-For-Wii-Game?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/06/24/1449254"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/06/24/1449254/Atari-Sub-Sub-Contractor-Used-ScummVM-For-Wii-Game?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/ZBvnMiEfLhfJ6GKyrYI-y-t4TpM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/WdAOc4Af--0" height="1" width="1"/

walshy007 writes "After Shigeru Miyamoto developed a love of puzzles, the "brain-training" software that has proved to be an international "killer application" on the Nintendo DS console was born. He became interested in taking more exercise, and Wii Fit was created. He took up music lessons, and Wii Music was the result. Now, according to sources at Nintendo, the games designer has been banned by the company from speaking publicly about his hobbies."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

'Microsoft confirmed that it had banned a "small percentage" of the 20 million Xbox Live users worldwide. Microsoft said that modifying an Xbox 360 console 'violates' the service's 'terms of use' and would result in a player being disconnected.'"pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/11/11/1821255/Microsoft-Disconnects-Modded-Xbox-Users?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/11/11/1821255"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/11/11/1821255/Microsoft-Disconnects-Modded-Xbox-Users?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/emdk_eEUyEtLccGz2zzflWkkh1E/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/emdk_eEUyEtLccGz2zzflWkkh1E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/emdk_eEUyEtLccGz2zzflWkkh1E/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/emdk_eEUyEtLccGz2zzflWkkh1E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/k7nrGBSnauI" height="1" width="1"/
