After a little digging, the original patent was filed in 1996, the more specific patent in 2003. However publication date was in 2011 (Dunno how that works), at which time Philips notified Nintendo, I guess to make a licensing deal from then forth. Nintendo ignored them and these kind of injunctions are just a step to get the other party's attention, those rarely follow through.
Blame the US patent system. How come a Dutch company is suing a Japanes company in the District of Delaware.
Here is the lawsuit https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1160023-philips-v-nintendo.html
