Nintendo banning hackers

In the conduit, in collab with HVS. Will it work?http://www.gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=93633#comment-section

I will see how the next weeks go. Hackers have become somewhat of an annoyance in all my wii online games, particularly shooters(COD is getting really infested with the flying invicibility hack), so i will blog about the results of this banning round in some weeks.

1. They already do

2.I'm pretty sure your not allowed to talk about hacking/piracy on these forums.

why doesnt nintendo just ban the hackers cd key like valve does with counterstrike? i ran into a hacker in mario kart the other night with infinite blue shells

Would an IP ban work?

Yeah- I ran into him too a few days ago...

It's nice that HVS and Nintendo are putting some effort in towards banning the hackers... The sad thing however- is that it probably won't make any difference. The hackers will just find a way to circumvent the ban- it always happens.

The Conduit is a hackereutopiaand is unenjoyable to play. Almost every room has at least two with infinate lives, ammo, or more.

COD: WAW has had the top 30 spots of the leaderboard hacked but it is not rampad in the game. It is still playable and fun. Very few hackers are in the game.

right. cd key was the wrong term i should have said serial number. every wii / cd has its own number so people can add you as a friend on the games, just ban that from online play.

A few days ago someone made a thread called "I hate hackers" and it was locked right away

According to the linke that the TC provided, the hackers there are speculating that Nintendo is now using the SSL certificate to identify subjects to ban. I do not know if that is the case, but it appears that several of the denizens of that site are worried about it because it won't be so easy to unban themselves now.

about time i think!

I read somewhere that hackers can change their MAC addresses. If so, this isn't going to stop them for long. Worse, if they use a MAC address belonging to someone else's Wii, that address will eventually be banned too.

I would like to see that Nintendo bans hackers but I don't play online that much so I don't really need it.

I am glad my Wi-fi stopped working during this hacker situation.

Well I don't play online so yeah.

But death to hackers in general.
