Nintendo is suing third-party peripheral maker Nyko over their version of a Wii controller, the Kama Nunchuk.

According to Nintendo the Nyko product  "wholly appropriates the novel shape, design, overall appearance and even the color and materials used in the Nintendo Nunchuk controller,''

"We have not knowingly violated anyone's intellectual property and we're still examining this,'' Nyko spokesman C.C. Swiney said yesterday in a telephone interview with Bloomberg.com.

So, judging from the above pic, what do you think?

Bloomberg: Timex, GE, Hutchinson, Next: Intellectual Property
