Soulja Boy could be in hot water with Nintendo over knock-off consoles American rapper Soulja Boy\u2019s recently introduced line of knock-off game consoles has gotten him a lot of press and ridicule, and it could even end up getting him time in prison. The \u201cSouljaGame Console\u201d and \u201cSouljaGame Handheld\u201d are currently available on SouljaWatch.com, with the console being advertised with 3000 built-in games and the handheld being able to run Switch, 3DS, Vita, NeoGeo, Game Boy Color and Advance games, and something just referred to as \u201cSouljaGames.\u201d Nintendo, whose games are being advertised as available with the consoles, is not a company to shy away from legal action on individuals doing exactly what Soulja Boy is: loading up emulator consoles with freely available game ROMs and then turning around and selling them. In fact, according to CinemaBlend, Nintendo is currently suing Mikel Euskaldunak, a Southern California resident who they accuse of modifying NES Classics and adding extra games, then selling the systems, which is a direct violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Soulja Boy starting esports team to compete in Fortnite, CoD, CS:GO and Overwatch\u201cNow that he has four different game consoles that he\u2019s selling, I\u2019m gonna go ahead and say that Nintendo\u2019s going to shoot for the 20-year sentence,\u201d ProtoMario claimed in his video. \u201cBut they\u2019re going to want his money, they\u2019re going to want a lot of his money first.\u201d While Soulja may not spend time in prison for offending Nintendo, ProtoMario believes he will at least \u201cgo broke over this.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s going to have to answer for all these fake, clone consoles, and he\u2019s probably going to have to answer to Nintendo,\u201d the YouTuber added. Soulja Boy also recently announced plans to start his own esport franchise competing in various games like Overwatch and Fortnite, but getting sued by Nintendo could throw a serious wrench into those dreams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
