It’s been awhile since Nintendo filed suit against third-party peripherial manufacturer Nyko over their Kama wireless Nunchuk controller for the Wii. Yeah, those kinky ones. Nintendo had beef with the product, calling it a copy of their offering, calling infringement on their designs and trademarks. Imagine that! They also didn’t like that it carried the word “nunchuk” in its name.
A press release today says that they’ve worked it all out. They don’t really say how it all went down, but we do know that Nyko’s Kama controller, winner of an award at last year’s CES, will continue to be sold.
And now, two vague canned statements from the companies:
“We are pleased to have resolved this dispute,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The Nunchuk and Wii brands are familiar to consumers worldwide, and Nintendo is dedicated to vigorous defense of those brands.”
“Nyko Technologies is proud to be an industry leader in gaming accessories,” said Herschel Naghi, CEO of Nyko, “and we will continue to develop exciting products for the benefit of the gaming community.”
