Nintendo Getting Sued Over Wiimote Design




Posted by LHoT

And no, it's not because it's a faulty design that make them fly into TV's thankfully. Apparently the "B" trigger on the Wiimote looks to similar to a companies trigger mouse

They are trying to sue for loss of sales. I highly doubt people are trying to use Wiimotes to control their computers

Actually there was a lawsuit from that. That marks the third major lawsuit on Nintendo this year, 2 having to do with the Wii

What are the other lawsuits? ... I mean, can I get sourced?

Well I would have to dig in my gmail for the links, but just to name them there was Anascape VS. Nintendo and Microsoft, which the outcome is unkown. Then there is a lawsuit from someone over the flying Wii-mote.

And I fixed it, because I know how lazy half of this board is..

So far Nintendo has been brought up against numerous attempted lawsuits; Faulty equipment, Copyright Infringement, etc.. What next, the Wii induces vomitting?

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Best pain I ever felt.

I made the mistake of playing Mario Party with a MadCatz N64 Advanced Control Pad, once. Worst calluses EVER..

People hurt their hands on that? ****ing pussies.

My palms were always deliciously bloody after playing Mario Party. If yours weren't you were playing it wrong.

Calluses toughen the hands, just ask Chuck Norris what he thinks about it.

Sad thing is, my palms are still smooth as the day I was born. You'd think after grinding flesh away for hours on end I'd have ****ing huge calluses that would make me look like a super badass, but no :(

Well, I used to work in this little place called a factory. With harsh acids and chemicals, and no gloves on most of the time. So my hands are like that of a Golem. Mario Party wouldn't even phase me now, if I were to play it now. Do the gravel method, Vampy. Fill a pot or wash basin full of small specs [pebbles] of granite or slate, and fiercely plunge your palms [in a uniform manner] down into it, rinse and repeat, that should help. :cool:

Oh man, thanks! That's brilliant. I'll do it right now!

The girl who lost he remote and ruined her TV was a moron. You can tell because her excuse for how it couldn't be her fault was that she was a blackbelt in karate.
