Ex-Midway Employee Sues Nintendo over Wii Remote (Updated; Lawsuit Not Yet Planned)
Update: Engadget has received a comment from Goschy's wife, who claims he is not yet planning to sue Nintendo over the matter.
Original story: Patrick Goschy, former Midway staffer, invented the Wii Remote ten years ago.
At least that is what he intends to prove when he takes Nintendo to court soon. Unlike similar cases, Goschy says he has the patent proof to back up his claims, in addition to hard evidence--evidence that has already spread to the internet.
A brief YouTube video, exhibit A, shows a pantsless Goschy demonstrating the device with the help of Ready 2 Rumble Boxing on a Dreamcast. For your evidentiary enjoyment, this video is viewable after the link.
