Nunchucked
Traditional
nunchucks, a martial arts weapon, are two sticks connected by a short chain
or rope. Modern-day nunchucks act as videogame controls. LA-based Nyko makes a
wireless nunchuck, and won an award for it at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show
in Viva Las Vegas. Nyko's nunchuck resembles a wired predecessor made by
Nintendo, holder of nunchuck design patents
D556,201 and
D556,760. Nintendo's complaint was filed June 10th in the Western District
of Washington against Nyko's unlicensed version. Nyko may be in for a different
kind of award.
