Here's some interesting news for the legally oriented among us: According to Go Nintendo, an ex-Midway employee is suing everyone's favorite company over the Wii remote/nunchuck concept.
Apparently this Patrick Goschy is claiming that he had the idea more than ten years ago and therefore is entitled to money; as far as patents over the technology go, there's no word on whether he had any or not.
Meanwhile Nintendo is claiming that Goschy had zero involvement in the Wii's creation, and that includes ideas. View the video below. Looks familiar, eh?
And no he's not wearing pants.
