Nintendo Gets Sued, Again

[Sennz0r]

I think the guy who invented guns should get royalties for the trigger button.

..or his nearest relatives.

The Wii is a multi-million dollar asset. Anyone who even sells a white, rectangular cardboard box would sue Nintendo if they had the chance. What can I say that's interesting and funny here? I don't know, I haven't had my coffee yet.

Unlike other companies who troll patents for stupid things, these guys actualy put out a wiimote without the nintendo logo on it a few years before nintendo. And from the sound of it it could do some things the wiimote cant. Like function in a 3d for example. Or point at things instead of only registering motion direction. However, this means the lawsuit is void, as nintendo didn't immitate these guys, but just made a huge d-pad that looks like the original product.

I was ready to call troll, unless logitech or universal actually named chips, or an sdk, that they actually licensed, but her's their product page:

I guess there's no troll under this bridge.

I wonder if they would settle for being bought out by Nintendo. That way, they get some of the profit for "their" invention and Nintendo gets the patent it's currently using in its new system. Win-win.

I doubt Nintendo would actually buy out someone. They don't use DVD's because they don't want to pay for it. They rather make a new platform that is a trademark of Nintendo.
