Nintendo and Nyko have cuddled up and made nice. Well, they're not in court any more over intellectual property rights, at least.
The two companies have settled a lawsuit brought to bear by Nintendo which claimed that Nyko had infringed property rights relating to the Nunchuk controller. The arrangement will see Nyko continue to sell its Kama controller in a revised form.
"We are pleased to have resolved this dispute", said Nintendo of America's President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. "The Nunchuk and Wii brands are familiar to consumers worldwide, and Nintendo is dedicated to vigorous defence of those brands."
"Nyko Technologies is proud to be an industry leader in gaming accessories", said Herschel Naghi, CEO of Nyko, in a statement that had little to do with the lawsuit. "...we will continue to develop exciting products for the benefit of the gaming community", he went on.
The lawsuit kicked off back in June. Nyko spokesman C.C. Swiney said at the time, "We have not knowingly violated anyone's intellectual property and we're still examining this". Take a look at the picture then feel free to join SPOnG in asking, 'Really, Nyko? Really now?'

Why? Why do people do this? It's not something I'm used to seeing on Spong either. What is it all about? Please can someone enlighten me.

It's to let people know they're an idiot

Ooooh - useful. Why don't they just say, "I am an idiot" or, better by far, "Please sterilise me"?

Takes too long to type all that, easier to just use one word, that way they don't forget what they're doing halfway.
