The Wii NOT Created by Nintendo???

[alpha_plus]

A video of Fox news interviewing a Chicago man claiming to have invented the Wii remote controls 8 years ago, and now wants the recognition and/or money.

Credit? Recognition? Fuck that, all that bastard wants is money. Nobody is going to remember his name anyway.

I highly doubt Nintendo stole his idea or anything, and I don't remember him saying he patented his version? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong).

 

[Tarot Sport]

it serves him right for advertising his invention in his boxers.

This is the video that was showed on the link you gave us. The controller is nothing like the Wiimote.

 

[Age of Kings]

And how long ago was the Power Glove? I believe that's older and the predecessor to the Wiimote. At least IMO.

I highly doubt it. >_> They only sue when something gets popular.

if you take a tickle me elmo and paint it green, its still a tickle me elmo. just because the appearance is different doesnt mean the whole of it is different.

 

[Sir Spanky]

I'm fairly sure he didn't patent it, so Nintendo won't (or won't be forced to lets say) give him shit.

 

[Atlas]

its not a fatal mistake, its hardly life threatening.

Well, he is playing boxing.

 

[Habanero Pepper]

lmfao it's fox and a user posted video at that.

what a waste of effort. if he was serious he would have come out with this a year ago

 

[Problem2]

Is that the dreamcast he has hooked up his own device up to? >_> I don't think this case stands a chance of even being considered.

 

[Sonuis]

This is as close to the Wii that a Dreamcast can get.

It took me seven stores to find me a pair of maracas, you know? The game was instantaneous though.

I wish there would be Maracas Attachment for the Wii Version when the game arrives, but Kotaku says otherwise. : (
