Nintendo loses 3DS patent lawsuit

@gearfreak117 You would willingly allow people to steal from you? I see. Can i come over your house to play games?

@Microsteve I think you'll find that virtually every major company gets sued eventually. Samsung, Sony, Microsoft. Whether it's plain 'ripping off' or just doing what the consumer wants is up for debate

=P

@Thanatos2k Sony has nothing to do with it, he doesn't work for them anymore.

@pizzamuncher That's not how patents work. You can invent the same concept completely independently and still be sued because someone else was first to file the patent. (provided your technology operates in the same way)

@Takeno456 Well the 3d tecnology WAS VERY OLD. Sooo they just lose. ONE.

@sune_Gem exactly what I thought as I read it

@WolfGrey I agree.

But one could reasonably argue that since the meeting took place in 2003, he could have been directed by Sony. I think that's a fair point

 Honestly its not really relevant if sony was part of it or not, just that nintendo was found to have violated that patent.

@WolfGrey It doesn't help much that the "journalist" put Sony's name up top... They knew what they were doing though mentioning he was a Sony employee years back gets more attention. 

@blaznwiipspman1 Complete reading comprehension fail. The guy suing used to work for Sony. USED TO. He doesn't anymore and this wasn't Sony's lawsuit.

@blaznwiipspman1 The ignorance is strong in this one.  The first instance of force feedback in gaming was a motorcycle arcade game from 1976(by Sega in fact).  Analogue sticks were first used for gaming in 1976.  The Wiimote has been around as long as TV remotes have been around.  Motion controls in general were around as far back as the early 90s.  The Wii U pad... what part of it?  The touch screen?  Touch screens were another innovation of the 70s.

None of this stuff belongs to Nintendo.  You -can- credit Nintendo for popularizing some of the technology for gaming use(namely the Wiimote/motion sensing stuff) but that doesn't put Nintendo in a position to sue anyone.

@blaznwiipspman1 I would agree if it wasn't for the fact Sony does it better every dam time.

Not being a fanboy, just true in general.

@emptycow FORE!!

@emptycow I have no Idea how you did it but you managed to make  a mario game so unappealing that I won't even touch itwith a fifty foot pole! and mario belongs on a nintendo console sony and microsoft would ruin them just like rare.

@emptycow  

So the Playstation 4 will have graphics as good as a Nintendo Wii.

@emptycow It's mindblowing how unappealing that looks.  It's like the Super Mario Bros. movie... this franchise is really meant for a more cartoony, colorful style. 

@emptycow LOL. I love how you've produced a video nothing to do with the technology of the PS4 and touted it as being as such. The Wii U can handle these graphics, the video of which mostly incorporates filters and special effects to make it look better when a lot of the models are low polygon. Granted the textures are high but it's not a videogame.

As long as it plays better than this looks, the next Mario on Wii U will be fantastic.

@emptycow Yeah becuase 30 million units is bad compared to how much the vita sold?

@emptycow 30 million units sold after 2 years. That's not bad at all.

@killa32130 because im guessing the judge ruled that nintendo only used part of his patent and so the ammount he was claiming was a bit over the top
