With the ones you already have?They better not stop selling GCN controllers.

Yes, i'm fairly sure that a cheaply manufactured product could last me for half a decade.With the ones you already have?
At first I was upset about this whole thing, but I realized it won't mean very much (It's still ridiculous, though). How often does anyone need to buy new Game Cube controllers?
This.My understanding from the articles was that whatever random person had patented that design a long time ago recently incorporated Anascape for the exclusive purpose of suing the big gaming system makers.
The company literally does nothing, unless I've missed something. No goods, no services, just an entity that can sue another corporation.
Yes.Eh, it's how **** goes. *****es need cash, *****es do ***** things to get cash.
That isn't a spoiler. It is a graciously received message. (Even though I play Wiimote Nunchuk, I would be so upset being unable to revisit the amazing Gamecube titles like Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, the Pikmin series, et cetera.) So they settled for a profit royalty? I suppose that is fine for a ridiculous lawsuit. I hope that you are right.Spoilers:Nintendo can still sell the controllers, but Anascape earns a portion of the profits.
Also, we know nobody heard of Anascape, they don't do anything except make patents.
You have nothing to worry about, Nintendo is still aloud to sell them.
it's probably a very specific patent, one that xbox and playstation didn't haveWhy is Anascape suing Nintendo though? Why not Playstation or Xbox because both their controllers have an analog stick.
I hope you're right. I might just go buy a few extra Nintendo GameCube controllers, just incase.Spoilers:Nintendo can still sell the controllers, but Anascape earns a portion of the profits.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Now I just needa get some money.I hope you're right. I might just go buy a few extra Nintendo GameCube controllers, just incase.

They did sue microsoft as well but they paid them off and settled out of court. Because microsoft can do **** like that...Why is Anascape suing Nintendo though? Why not Playstation or Xbox because both their controllers have an analog stick.
Xbox settled out of court and I think Sony paid them to use this patent a long time ago. I'm not sure about that though.Why is Anascape suing Nintendo though? Why not Playstation or Xbox because both their controllers have an analog stick.
lol.. this sounds erotic in some way, but yea I also plan on getting that 3m Gamecube "Wii White" controllerNintendo only has to stop selling them here. The patent only applies in the United States.
I'm buying a white one from Japan anyways.
i Realized That Then Edited My Post.
Seriously, I'm Talking A Flight To Texas To Kick Every Member Of Anascape In The Nads.
