Has Nintendo infringed Hillcrest's patents with Wii ? Or is this a case of more patent trolling?

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) is looking into allegations that Nintendo has infringed the patents of a company called Hillcrest Laboratories with its hugely popular Wii games console.

Hillcrest claims that Nintendo has infringed four of its patents with Wii.

Because as a boy I once had an idea about making a magical online world where gamers could all play together as one - which both companies have clearly stolen from me. I failed to patent the idea, but I still think I have a case. Are there any IP lawyers present?

Patent trolling. Stick on.

mchax5711d ago

Copyright boundaries and IP rights have blurred so much recently - i don't think there is a case here. You don't need to be a Dragon from Dragon's Den to work that out

i thought nintendo licsenced its technology from another company? if thats the case its not nintendo they should be suing, but them.

jedthehumanoid5711d ago

let me guess. This company is American? What a surprise. I sympathise with you Zoydwheeler. I accidentally sat on a burger the other day. And afterwards I suddenly thought what a good idea it would be to sell messy, squashed, disgusting, flat, squishy hamburgers. Then I heard about this company called McDonalds that's apparently already selling such a product. The lawsuit is in the post.

chanmasta5711d ago

... nice McDonalds joke, but I think the best one is the joke in Hancock. LOL! xD

Anyway back on topic, i think it's pathetic all these patents against Nintendo, all the stupid f@ggots trying to rob Nintendo's money. :(

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos13d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8813d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies12d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
