These kind of cases are business as usual for Nintendo and I wouldn't panic. A big reason why many of these cases go to court is because Nintendo as a matter of principle refuses to settle outside of court (even for small sums of money) as it would be an invitation to many other patent holders to make claims against Nintendo. This could very well be a frivolous claim that Nintendo is forcing into the courts simply because they will not negotiate.

If Nintendo only had the Wii U in its history, I would be more worried about this claim but Nintendo is no stranger to success. They know exactly what happens when they are on top and they are probably one of the more battle-hardened tech companies out there when it comes to dealing with patent-claims such as these.
