Nintendo contests "unfair" Europe price fixing fine

Nintendo has contested a €149.1 million fine it was stung with in 2002 for price fixing, calling the penalty "unfair" and "shocking".

The fine was handed out by the European Union, when Nintendo and several distributors were found guilty of artificially raising the prices of its games and consoles between 1991-1998. No surprise if you were a core SNES or N64 fan from the early days.
