lol, You gotta love it when you get sued and the drawing in the patent are actually drawings of your own controllers (they had a SNES and N64 controller).

Anyways, that is a very good point, as until this is settled it may come across bad for them to the jury if they were to bring this out while in the middle of the suit.

 

 

Could you please tell me more?

I don't have a link to the patents (or the article with the patents linked to it) so I can't really help you. But in every patent you have drawings, and in theirs they had images of the controllers they were describing. The images they used were SNES and N64 controllers. With the same exact button placement and everything.

Anyways, just google the Nintendo Anascape lawsuit and you'll probably find it, then you'll have to digg through the 10 or so patents to find the images. I actually think I posted one of the images on this website

EDIT: actually it was incredibly easy to find the post and thread where this suit was discussed.
