If you haven’t picked up a classic controller yet, you might want to do so. Hurry!
The Texas-based company Anascape Ltd. is making life misterable for video game console manufactures everywhere. First, it was Microsoft and now its aimed right at everyone’s favourite - Nintendo. Anascape, who has apparently patented the use of analog sticks, is looking for $21 million dollars of Big N money. What does this do for Nintendo you ask? This could effectively kill off the distribution of Wii classic controllers and the popular Gamecube and Wavebird controllers as well.
Nintendo doesn’t seem to phased by the lawsuit, though. They plan to appeal this case to the Federal Circuit court.
