Well they have a pretty solid reason to go after Asia. Asia's market for bootleg portable gaming has been pretty big ever since flash carts for the Game Boy Advance came out.

There's some statistic that estimates that 90% of DS owners in some Southeast Asian country (I think Singapore?) pirate games. Plus I always routinely hear about it being common in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam... seen it for myself in China and over here.

If people couldn't pirate Nintendo, it wouldn't sell so much.
