*Snip!*

We're getting terribly off-topic here so I'll reply to you via PM if you don't mind, I don't want to trigger Bortz's spidey senses.

Woops, yes sorry for getting off topic, apparently I just like to listen to my self type.

"Your majesty, Philips and its minions have seized the island of Nintendo!"
"Hmm...how can we help?"
"It is written: only Reggie can defeat Philips"
"Great! My body is ready!"

Its sickening that a company with no imagination or creativity like Nintendo can make a fortune plagiarizing the hard work of honest companies like philips. I cant wait to see these criminals go out of prison and rot in jail where they belong!

How in the flying fuck did Phillips win this lawsuit in Europe?

 

[Dork]

I'm not a huge fan of such lawsuits since the idea of a "remote" has been around for way too long to even consider it an "original" idea, but...

Yeah...

What is happening in this image?

The lady is pointing the remote at the receiver... I think.

Alright Kinect, you're next, get ready to get Shrekt.

The one patent that actually has the smallest relevance to the Wii remote is so vague it could mean anything, while the rest do not pertain to Wii remotes at all. The funny thing about it is that the patents are far closer to relevance with the Kinect and Move than they are with the Wii remote. So why Nintendo and not Sony/Microsoft? Simple. Nintendo is smaller. If (and that's a very big "if") Philips does win, it'll mean problems for Sony and Microsoft because they'll have the backbone to go after them too.

I wish they didn't have numbers and arrows pointing to freaking everything, including the paintings, it would make it a lot clearer ;A;

This thread is wonderful example of GBAtemp's collective business and legal knowledge.

I would sooner bet on the fact that... y'know, the Wii sold 100 million units and filled Nintendo's swimming pools with money, much unlike the PSMove and the Kinect which sold moderately well at best. That, and the patent concerns "a concept", you don't have to create an exact 1:1 replica of a device to infringe upon it.

Me, 'butthurt'? It's just odd that Philips would go after Nintendo alone while missing out on others but Microsoft and Sony might've paid for the licence so who knows, time will tell I suppose.

because they're acting like this is 4chan, and honestly it really is starting to feel like it is to me, especially with all the shitposting from some of the mods/reporters lately

Yeah, they're total jerks, I know who you're talking about! Assholes.

While I don't entirely agree with your opinion, it does give me some... interesting mental images... Iwata's ''delivering DIRECTRY to you'' and Reggie's ''my body is ready'' would probably get a whole new meaning in prison... Eiji might have to change some ''conventions'' though

... forgive me for such childish thoughts, I couldn't help it D:
