There are two ways to get a slice of the delicious Nintendo money pie: (1) Release a collection of mini-games for the Wii (look for Non-Denominational Church Carnival Games coming from Joystiq Publishing in Q3 2009!); or (2) Sue Nintendo. This road less traveled (option 2) has just been taken by Wall Wireless LLC of Plano, Texas, which is also suing Sony and Nokia for allegedly infringing on its patent for "Method and Apparatus for Creating and Distributing Real-Time Interactive Media Content Through Wireless Communication Networks and the Internet."

Perhaps following the advice of some inspirational kitty poster, Wall Wireless refuses to limit its potential by naming an actual figure it's suing for; instead asking for "no less than a reasonable royalty." Good luck with the settlement, fellas!

some people just never stop and have no shame

It's about time laws got changed to prevent patent trolling.

To be honest, I'm starting to hate these patents whores everytime I about hear them

I hate it how gaming sites can't post news about Nintendo without adding a little dash of Wii bashing!

Um... err... isn't this patent basically just for a Web browser on a wireless network? How the hell does crap like this even get patented in the first place?

The picture, on the other hand, is made of epic and win.

Let's assume that both Sony and Nintendo are both infringing this patent law..

Why does it always seem to be other way around?

How does Microsoft also not fall into this as well?

Four words --

Texas Eastern District Court

Filing makes it seem as if playing a game over WiFi on a portable device violates this person's patent.

I wonder if the iPhone is next.

I doubt this one will make it through the appeals process.

 Of course you'd only see the Wii bashing... when Joystiq often does this to all three consoles.
