Analscape on the other hand sounds HOT.

That sounds like SCI-FI porn.  We need more of that in the world.

How can they make good online when they even can't get their shit together in making a controller.

BECAUSE THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO MICROSOFT! Oh wait...

Tyler-based Anascape also sued Microsoft Corp. for patent infringements on game controllers but reached an agreement with the company before the start of the trial against Nintendo, The Lufkin Daily News reported.

Microsoft said in a statement that terms of the settlement reached May 1 were confidential.

And Sony, they get sued for violating copyrights every time they release a new console.

If Howard Lincoln were still there, they would have won the case and ended up owning Analscape.

Probably more than that.

Anyhow, both articles fail to mention what exactly was infringed on...

Patent law is so freaking silly anymore.
Yeah. I hate patent squatters who sit on it with no intention of actually producing anything. They just wait until someone else infringes so they can profit.

21M is nothing to Nintendo these days.  They'd make that money and more before today is over.
