Nyko has been making a wireless nunchuk for the Nintendo Wii and a while back the two companies got into a dispute over the appearance. Nintendo had complained that it looks too much like the actual Wii nunchuk and therefore violated certain patents. Nyko countered that they did not knowingly violate the patents and also that the glove didn’t fit meaning Nintendo is full of s**t. Ok we made that last part up. The trademark dispute has been settled and while there haven’t been details revealed, there is no doubt that Nyko had to pay Nintendo some enormous undisclosed amount.
