Nintendo is suing peripheral maker Nyko over a third-party wireless Wii nunchuck controller??

Nintendo’s first problem is going to be showing that their design is ‘novel’. Logo aside, it’s not, not even close, and without that they have no meaningful case.

It’s good to see patents being used to squash the competition and maintain a monopoly in a company’s specific market…

I think Nintendo just wants to be the first company to release a wireless nunchuck. I’ve heard lots of talk about everyone with a Wii buying the wireless nunchuck from Nyko when it comes out. That’s a lot of money. And if everyone buys it from Nyko now, they won’t need it when Nintendo releases it. Bunch of crap if you ask me. Just because the developers at Nintendo are slow and Nyko was faster than them, they got pissed. Now everyone with a Wii that was waiting for the wireless nunchuck is going to have to wait longer for Nintendo to release it. Glad I don’t have a Wii. But if you look at the real picture of the wireless nunchuck it really doesn’t look that much like the original Wii nunchuck. Quite different actually. And Martin, were you smoking when you posted this? “Nyko’s wireless nunchuck (pictured below)”…and you put a picture of a wired nunchuck. LMFAO!

Nintendo should realize, that without 3rd party support, their console will not last….
WTF….

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you….

Nyko has been making cheap knock off products for consoles for many years.. Why all of a sudden would Nintendo cause a big uproar…
Reason.. Nintendo, must be coming out with a new improved WIRELESS setup this Christmas season, and are pissed that Nyko beat them to the punch. -lol-
Nintendo lost me as a fan years and years ago…

I should order one before they’re forced to stop selling them.

Adding wireless to the controler, thus making it different not the same. So this is a different patent.

Wow martin, can’t catch a break? People just want to make fun of your summary here.

Eh, side note: The Kama one shouldn’t be called a “nunchuck,” as the wire connecting the two componants is what makes it like a nunchuck. Kama’s would be more accurately called a “two-handed controller” or something.
