This lawsuit has no chance. Miyamoto originally conceived the idea for motion controls on November 5, 1995 when he slipped and bumped his head while standing on his toilet to hang a clock:

"That was the day I invented motion controls. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, so I slipped, fell, hit my head on the sink, and when I came to... I had a vision! A revelation! A picture in my head! A picture of this... this is what makes motion control possible... The Wiimote." - Shigeru Miyamoto

Don't be so sure. Hill crest labs might get some legal help from certain companies. :o

For crying out loud just give Hillcrest Labs MONEY that will make them shut up!

Assuming that this patent holds, money might not be enough. I guess they could sell the patent to a certain company who would never allow nintendo to sell wiimotes again. Who knows. :)
