According to Nintendo’s complaint, the sites have reproduced and distributed “thousands of games” owned by Nintendo, as well as Nintendo’s music, audio, and video game system software.
Nintendo of America filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Mathias Designs, LLC and husband and wife Jacob Mathias and Cristian Mathias for running the ROM sites LoveROMs.com and LoveRETRO.co.
Nintendo also accused the defendants of using registered Nintendo trademarks, including logos and characters.
The site’s library included games for Nintendo devices as well as other consoles, such as PlayStation and Atari.
