While i hate this kind of cynical lawsuit, if that wikipad product is indeed out in the market then i think they are right and Nintendo will have to pay damages. The switch controller looks just like it.

Please tell me how they're anything alike?

You gonna say this doesn't look like the switch controller?

Of course you do. Why do i bother asking...

You are not right.

The defense that Nintendo can have is that the switch controller only works with the switch screen. I assume it doesn't work with other screens anyways. If it did then they would be in trouble for sure.

If not then it's a debate on wether the switch actually bothers the gamevice market by copying it's functionality but only on its own propriatary hardware. So, if the copying actually makes their product less appealing. That is more complex and debatable.
