Seems like gaming's found its Jonathan Lee Riches - the inmate who sues anyone and anything, largely for comedic effect. In this case, Erik Estavillo, who already had a suit against Sony tossed, has taken aim at Microsoft and Nintendo.

Estavillo's suing Microsoft for an RROD on his 360, claiming that a disability means he can afford neither a new console nor a "well over $100 fee to fix it." He's looking for $75,000 on that complaint, because of the "undue stress" he's suffered since the machine's failure, plus the "sadness he will have in the mean time of finding one he can afford." Allllllllright. Next.

Nintendo of America isn't so holy in this either. Estavillo complains that a Wii firmware update disabled his homebrew channel. Basically, he's bitching that it prevents him from unlocking a character in Super Mario Galaxy and for that he wants $5,000 for obstructing his "pursuit of happiness."

In his suit Estavillo says he depends on games for his emotional well being because he suffers from depression, OCD, panic disorder, Crohn's disease and agoraphobia, the latter of which you might recall was his basis for suing Sony after it banned him for being a jackass on PSN. A judge threw out that lawsuit, a judgment which he has appealed. There's obviously no stopping this guy.

I don't see him winning either too. >.> I see him winning the M$ one more than Ninty.
Wait wut he can sue M$ yet he can't buy a new one? Same goes towards suing Ninty.

 

Whats next?
Sueing Sony for not being able to play Tekken 6.

He won't win these fights, he looks like he is able to sue company's, so he is in fine shape.

 

I read this on Gamespot and I think it said he needed the HBC to get a character in Mario Kart Wii which he needed a Super Mario Galaxy save file

I'm getting mixed messages from everywhere.

 

Ah the USA the only place in the world that would hear a guy this crazy out and over the most retared things, but dont get me wrong I find what hes doing to be epic and in the best intrest of man kind *ROFL*.

 

He has no life and if a counter suit happens he will be out $100,000 or more.

 

He's suing for ninty taking away something totally unrelated to bad for and unofficial to nintendo. What gives him the right to do that?! How would you expect to win that?!

 

he cant afford to fix his 360, but can afford throwing lawsuits around?

 

The fact that you can sue anyone for almost everything has brought fear to people lol.... he's a idiot that's gonna increase his disorders this way

 

great idea why don't i go sue Woolworths for letting mothers in the store with kids who let them run rampant around the store like hypo little idiots because they annoy me!!
