Ok for starters it was SETA who came up with the bio sensor for the N64 game, Amtex who created the game, and SETA who then published it. So why should Nintendo be the ones to patent it when they had nothing to do with the game or the development of the sensor?

ps. Nintendo didn't invent everything, please try to remember that before making another thread like this. And to others, please stop your lame defence of patents, especially ones like this that could have been made into a set of extremely broad patents and hurt potential future games.


 This statement is just as valid as when I say your last past was lame.  It also fails to address specifics just as utterly and completely as your post does.

Patents are a part of the business world, whether we like them or not.  The OP failed to do the research but it doesn't change the fact that somebody is going to end up paying somebody royalties and it probably won't impact the development of future games much if at all.
