  this is bull.
  the gamecube controller is basically the same as the PS2, just fatter.
  i hate all these companies, making random patents, and sueing years and years later.
  god, what is this shit?
  i bet if they had so called "infringed" upon Nintendo's idea, Nintendo either wouldnt care, or they would try to sue them, but that company probobly doesnt have any money!

    Sony and Microsoft both settled with Anascape though. Nintendo chose to fight them in court.

    Didn't you hear? The GameCube didn't sell too hot.

        No, but now that Nintendo have made millions of dollars on the Wii, it seems a good time to sue to make sure you get your moneys worth.

  Wow could you imagine what what happen to the Wii if there was a ban on the Wiimote.

  This is bull shit. How can a company patent the idea "to control six types of motions at the same time"? That is what I would consider too vague. From what I understand, Nintendo can't sell GCN or Classic controllers anymore because they have six buttons? That is complete and utter bull shit. By that logic, Panasonic could sue Sony because their TV remote has the same amount of buttons, or Yamaha could sue Korg because their piano has the same number of keys.

  I'd imagine Nintendo would have to release a firmware update barring those devices. Hopefully not though, that would kill Brawl completely.

    It's not a ban in that sense. It's a ban in that from whenever the courts start to enforce this, they won't be able to sell new ones.
    
    This mostly impacts the Classic Controller, and I guess the White GameCube controller.
    
    Again, this would be a ban on the sale of such goods by Nintendo.

  I can imagine everyone in the world getting custom firmware if we can't use our GC and CC controllers anymore.

  Ugh, I hate companies that sit on their patents and wait to sue big name companies who actually make use of the technology.

    Your average everyday person does the same thing with patents and web domains. It's a good way to make money.

  Ugh, All this garbage about suing and everything is just plain getting out of hand. It's utterly ridiculous! And like it was mentioned above, they wait until their so-called patented idea makes lots of money, becomes well-known, and THEN sues.
  
  You know, I've got a few things planned to patent and everything. But if someone were to try to use my patents, I'd let them know from the start not to do it. People and even companies need to get ethics and morals back into them, instead of worshiping the mighty dollar bill. Businesses and companies that have ethical and moral standards and keep to them, stand out more than the rest, and are trusted better!

  I can see where Anascape is coming from, but it really is kind of mean and lazy, even if it does make money.

  I'm extending my thanks to the douchebags at Anascape. Way to go for depriving Wii and GCN owners the chance to buy the controllers. As if a new GCN controller wasn't hard enough to come by. Also, what happens to third-parties such as Nyko and Gamestop who make their own controllers?

    I doubt Anascape would care what you think with all the dosh there going to get.
    
    Its a smart move on their part, There is no morals in business, get over it. Maybe Nintendo should have checked for patents before creating the controllers? Ever thought of that? People don't get patents to allow other people to use it.
