>Every game that's available for the Wii U digitally, is available for a pirated download. Straight from Nintendo.

Oh wow, how did Nintendo manage to be this stupid?

To be fair this has happened to other consoles like the ps vita. It’s possible to download the games from the online stores. The games can’t run because they’re signed, so it’s a simple http request to start the download.

Except the cryptography and security has been bypassed. So the consoles have a homebrew app that lets you download and install to console and pirate the game. All done on the console.
