Funny how this comes up now... Ya know... 2 years after the Wii's release.

Someone's trying to ride the coat tails of Nintendo.

I'm pretty sure this takes time since they have to consult with attornies and do research to make sure they have a case. I'm just wondering, if they're able to pull this off what would Nintendo do next besides trying to over turn the courts? Also what would happen to software development?

Oh god, and then the news of Sony being sued for the use of a layered data-disc by some other random company ALSO in East Texas.

Makes me sad to be Texan.

Settled out of court in three months, guaranteed.

Nintendo didn't steal tech, but they won't be able to prove it due to America's ridiculous patent system, so it will be a lot cheaper just to shove some Wii and DS-printed money in the stupid assholes faces.

Wouldn't you be sad to be a Texan to begin with? Zing!

That was a joke, I've got family that lives there, and I give them all kinds of crap!

Doesn't the guy with the claim have proof of a patent before the system came out? If i read correctly.

Oh look, a shallow and completely stock attempt at an insult that only makes the cunt throwing it look like more of a cunt than before.

You got called on being a troll. Stop being a whiny bitch about it.

Oh wow, I got called a cunt - Prak seems to love that word as if it's some sort of insult. One day, when he's all grown up, he might actually see one and realize how silly he's being.

Yeah, you got called on being a lonely virgin. Stop being an angsty teen about it.

It generally shows a total lack of social adjustment if one makes it past their twenty-first birthday without ever having sex. There'll always be a dozen excuses for it, but it all boils down to "Yeah, I can't get any". The sort of person who gets 10,000 posts on a web-forum where half the posts are belittling someone else, and over-using the word 'cunt' as if it ought to be insulting? They're pretty likely to be a social retard. Which isn't something to be proud of :3

Also: any bastard can get laid. It takes a bastard with standards to be a virgin.

Nice try at justifying the fact that you're a disease-ridden slut.

Post again in this thread and I'll either start deleting your posts or improving their quality by replacing anything you type with "I luv teh cock."

This thread turned into lol real quick.

Isn't this the second or third time Nintendo has been sued for its motion controls? I remember hearing about a patent infringement case on Nintendo shortly after Sony was sued for the Sixaxis.

noskillbassist: Raidenex is right. The patent system here hasn't evolved much since Edison's era, when he received blueprints from foreigners and patented their inventions before they could.

*COUGH-COUGH!* Yeah, uhh, so that really sucks for Nintendo. Hope everything works out for them so that people don't loose jobs over another company's greed and irrational behavior. the MANY of you who have contributed to this thread and voiced there reasonable opinions towards the lawsuit make really great points.
