at least it is not the wii remote and only the US

http://www.dbtechno.com/gaming/2008/07/24/nintendo-faces-ban-on-wii-gamecube-controllers-in-us/

look at their patant list


Who's Anascape? Some firm in Texas without a searchable web page, for one. Also the owner of patents 5,999,084 ("variable conductance sensor"), 6,102,802 ("game controller with analog pressure sensor"), 6,135,886 ("variable conductance sensor with elastomeric dome cap"), 6,208,271 ("remote controller with analog button"), 6,222,525 ("image controller with sheet connected sensors"), 6,343,991 ("game control with analog pressure sensor"), 6,344,791 ("variable sensor with tactile feedback"), 6,347,997 ("analog controls housed with electronic displays"), 6,351,20 ("variable conductance sensory"), 6,400,303 ("remote controller with analog pressure sensor"), 6,563,415 ("analog sensor with snap through tactile feedback"), and finally, 6,906,700 ("3D controller with vibration").

it easy to see this company is a vulture doing patant on evrything

I should start  

a plastic or metal container with microchips on the inside

The classic Wii controller looks like the NES controller. Anascape reminds me of that woman from McDonalds who spilled coffee on her and it burned her. Anascape just wants the money.

Doug Cawley, a lawyer for Anascape, claimed the ban was justified because his client wants to enter the market, but Nintendo has "clogged the channel." Anascape's technology is also being used by Sony and Microsoft in their consoles, but Sony licensed the patent in 2004, while Microsoft settled the lawsuit filed against it on May 1, just prior to the start of the trial.

fail because it is still sold world wide and the us is not a large enoguh gaming area.

also the company is not known nd does not even have a website

Someone's always gonna try and cash in. I should sue Microsoft for making a games console which makes me want to stay in and earn gamerscore all day, missing college and pub crawls.
