Nintendo sues Nyko over Nunchuk

moneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

...

So how are other 3rd party controllers okay? I'm lost.

Im lost as well. IMO seems like Nintendo is being greedy/jealous? Firstly Nintendo gets money from Nyko to make 3rd party stuff but sues them for making it look similar to Nintendo's actual nunchuck? Isnt that how alot of 3rd party controllers look like? Not everybody likes to buy ugly looking 3rd party controllers. I think Nintendo's just jealous that Nyko did a good job with the wireless before Nintendo could and because of that they're afraid that more people will instead purchase the Nyko nunchuck instead of Nintendo's original. Nintendo just wants more money. I'd only buy the original wiimote and buy Nyko's nunchuck, and that is what Nintendo doesnt want. They want you to buy both original wiimote and nunchuck.

Yeah I don't understand how this pounces on copyright violations. Seems like the controller wasn't copied since it isn't 100% exact as the original nunchuck.

If i where nyko i would sue the hell out of nintendo for hurassment

First i don't see how this violates there copyrights the controller is wireless where nintendo's nunchuk isn't the controller contains two lights and a power button which nintendo's doesn;t contain one at all and this device was voted best device at e3 2007 so why didn't nintendo stop them then.

Nin is green in more ways than one.

Who cares, I want one of those bad boys.

Today i was at my local gamestop and found that datel has there own version of the wii nunchuk as well so is nintendo going to sue them

GO NINTENDO!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be pissed if I accidentally bought a 3rd party thinking it was an original. I have a Nyko sensor bar but that's different. FIND YOUR OWN ORIGINAL IDEA NYKO!!!!!!

Coat tail-riding bastards!!!!

Probably because the other 3rd party controllers followed the proper procedure and paid their money for the rights to manufacture a controller that so closely resembled the original. Nyko probably assumed since they had rights to make accessories for the Wii that meant they could copy Nintendo's controller design and just make it wireless.
