Jeez. When will they ever give up?

Yeah, and when this case ends up in favour of Nintendo, Gamevice will find other patent to sue them for. Probably related to the Wii, those are always juicy.

They weren't going to before that, but it will cost money for Nintendo to defend this, and that cost is factored into prices.
More of a testament how broken the patent system is in the US. As long as the system is broken. Patent trolls will always be around. You don't see them going after Morpheous. Just Nintendo which is a big name and company. Gamevice are patent trolls. Someone can correct me but I believe one of the very few times Nintendo lost one of these things was about analog triggers and only applied to any controller made post-Gamecube. Nintendo would have to pay royalties to any system post Gamecube to use analog triggers so I believe that's why they stick with digital aside from the re-release of the Gamecube controller every so often.

So who has the patent on analog triggers now? |
Dunno and my info may be off. Going off memory. The only thing is I know for sure is Nintendo went through a lawsuit and stopped producing controllers with analog triggers. I was a little off on timing as post Gamecube they made one more controller with analog controllers. Wii classic controller but then they made a revision with digital. Nintendo seems to always be the hottest target of these claims and lawsuits. They have been dealing with this for years. They may not be the only ones but they seem to be the most popular target.
