Japanese police today (15th) announced the arrest of a 39-year-old Chinese man for selling 13 pirated games including 3DS, Super Mario Bros., and Dragon Quest together.

It is reported that the arrested man is a 39-year-old Chinese man surnamed Fu, who is a graphic designer by profession.

According to police investigations, the man bought a broken Nintendo 3DS in January this year, then purchased parts from a Chinese website for repairs, and finally packaged it together with the game software he copied for sale on a flea market website. Each one is priced at 13,400 yen (approximately NT$3,000).

The man who was arrested denied the police allegations, emphasizing that “the game software was not put into the game console body”. The Japanese police are investigating that the man may have copied and sold pirated software for a long time in the past two years, and the illegal profit may have exceeded 1.2 million yen (equivalent to about 260,000 NT dollars).
