[BlueFox gui]

these foolz gowna lose

Honestly, this is stupid. The Wikipad flopped, so there's no reason for them to sue.

that's why they are perusing this fools errand of a lawsuit . their broke!
nintendo at them in court:

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I bought a gamevice grip for my iphone back then. I returned it the same day because it was crappy as fuck.

I hope they get a counter lawsuit for wasting their time and go out of business. Patent-troll bastards.

But what about HD rumble and motion controls, and NFC and $50 controllers? O_O

Wait, they have a pro controller and 3rd party controllers, they could just sell it with pro controller until redesign can happen for joy cons.... or LET US US OUR ALREADY PAID FOR WII CONTROLLER! O_O

Pretty sure Nintendo has a patent for the joy-con no? So really this lawsuit has no leg to stand on. By these standards companies like Moga could file lawsuits against Gamevice for creating a product that does the same thing and the design being ever so slightly similar.

"If Nintendo loses this lawsuit, the Nintendo Switch could be banned from being sold."

I hope so.

I wouldn't even mind it, honestly. The value of my Switch would skyrocket. That said, Nintendo will win this case, that thing is nothing like Switch. Even forgetting that it's two separate joy cons, the sticks are in completely different positions, the D-pad is completely different, and I don't even know if that thing has triggers or shoulder buttons. Let alone HD rumble, amiibo scanning, etc.

Can you smell that?

Yep.

It's the smell of all of Gamevice's money going up in smoke.
"Lets take on Nintendo to get some easy money!" said soon-to-be-bankrupt Gamevice

 

[Xenon Hacks]

If the controller had detachable sides they would have a case and win.

 

[MAXLEMPIRA]

Honestly.... this make me think that "sone company" is giving money to them for the lawsuit xDD

 

[Xanthe]

It looks nothing like the wikipad. Wikipad will loose this lmao

Even so, it would be cool having a rare console

 

[CMDreamer]

Somthing like those "PSP" clones being sold on chinese stores online and on MercadoLibre for the same price as an original PSP... Did that crappy brand owner even sued them for the resemblance?

That's the wikipad.

It doesn't even look close to it at all...

That's exactly what I was about to say.

 

[RedBlueGreen]

Honestly, this is stupid. The Wikipad flopped, so there's no reason for them to sue. Plus, one of the planned features for the Wikipad was no-glasses 3D so that company was using concepts from the 3DS for their own device. They shouldn't pursue this lawsuit because they are going to lose it

That's probably why they're suing. If it flopped they probably made nothing so they might be trying to get money this way. They have no case, and if anything the Wikipad looks more like the Wii U gamepad than the joy cons look like the Wikipad. Not only are they going to lose, they're going to waste resources if they pursue this.

YEAH take down the evil Ninty

 

[DarthDub]

They say people become desperate when faced with bankruptcy.

 

[BullyWiiPlaza]

Would be funny if the Switch got banned but the similarities just aren't close enough, otherwise at some point nothing can be done anymore because everything is somehow patented already.

 

[chrisrlink]

all they need to do is redesign sadly that may make the switch 2.o non portable causing sales to sink where's Annon when you need em?

Depends on patent filing date not a product release date.
