Nintendo sues Nyko over nunchucks, ninjas still silent

Filed under:

It looks like Nyko’s nunchuck controllers for the Wii could possibly be getting a whole lot more limited, at least if a recently filed lawsuit plays out the way Nintendo would like. As Bloomberg reports, Nintendo is claiming that Nyko’s wireless Kama nunchucks not only infringe on its trademarks for the Nunchuk name and packaging, but that they wholly appropriate the “novel shape, design, overall appearance and even the color and materials used in the Nintendo Nunchuk controller.” For its part, Nyko is not surprisingly only saying that it has “not knowingly violated anyone’s intellectual property,” and that they’re “still examining this.”
