Nintendo Faces Lawsuit Over Detachable Switch Joy-Cons

Looks like someone might be in trouble. And it’s Nintendo? When Nintendo Switch released back in March, surely the design in terms of hybrid/gaming tablet isn’t the first in it’s kind. Tablets like Nvidia Shield & Gamevice’s Wikipad existed way before the Switch was even released.

Gamevice, known for it’s Wikipad is currently suing Nintendo for copying it’s removable controller design. You heard it right. According to the suit, the Switch and its removable Joy-Con controllers are too close to Gamevice’s vision of a combination of detachable game controller and a device with a “flexible bridge section.”

Currently Gamevice is seeking the court to ban the sales of Nintendo Switch and pay the damages from patent infringement.

However Nintendo did not speak out publicly as of yet.

New Nintendo 3DS Production Is Done For In Japan

Nintendo is currently ending production for the New Nintendo 3DS in Japan according to it’s website.

It seems that only the regular version of the New Nintendo 3DS are no longer in production. No words yet on the larger (XL/LL) version or the other territories outside of Japan.

This is no surprising given the fact that Nintendo made a similar notice when Wii U ended it’s production last year.
