    "Nintendo has been fined 146m euros (£92.1m) by the European Commission for trying to rig the computer game market.
    The firm has been, with seven distributors, found guilty by commission anti-trust officials of attempting to keep prices artificially high in some EU states between 1991 and 1998.

    The severity of the fine, the fourth highest ever meted out by commission trade watchdogs for a single offence, reflected Nintendo's role as "the driving force behind the illicit behaviour", the commission said.

    The distributors, including Scotland-based John Menzies, were fined 21m euros."
