Sorry, I meant "comment 12" from http://hackmii.com/2008/07/dear-nintendo/

The hacker has a comment where he states Nintendo responded, and no further correspondence will be published.

Edit: Yes, the OP's linked story is wrong.

I was really hoping that response was fake, because that would be a worryingly poor standard of English for a Nintendo of America executive...

to the defense of the article writer, when bushing first started pasting the responses, he did say the post below and didnt clarify that response wast from nintendo (tyson green one). So it could have confused the guy quite a bit.

I refuse to change my sig, haxors r ebil ppl!

That was very nice of him ^_^.

Piracy on the wii....not good! I see no piracy on the PS3!

Some homebrew action:

Oh and how can we forget the guy who hacked in game xmb when the 60gig was still around.

And you either already knew that, and purposely posted news about the fake Nintendo reply, or you didn't and are severely lacking in humility.

Whether you were deceiving or just wrong, comments like "would you care sharing your wisdom on this one?" still fail.

I pray this is not real..

Regardless whether the content from the OP is real or fake, I would see the homebrew crowd and Nintendo wanting to work together to curb software piracy, because both suffer when piracy flourishes. Nintendo benefits from the R&D of homebrew's efforts in pushing the boundry of what the hardware was intended to do, while homebrew benefits from cheap, powerful, ubiquitous hardware. Piracy just undercuts both.

Just to clear it up... one more time...

There you will hear it straight from the horses mouth.

Comment #1 is this fake letter, that this article thought was the one he meant.
Comment #12 is the reference to the real response, which will be kept private.


In conclusion,
1. Letter fake.
2. Story real.
