Nintendo of America Inc. was ordered to pay a $21 million for infringing on a patent while designing controllers for its popular Wii and GameCube systems.
Nintendo said the company will seek an appeal and expects the court to reduce the award "significantly."
Nintendo was pleased no infringement was found with the motion-sensing technology used in its wandlike Wii and Nuncheck controllers, which mimic movements by users in games such as tennis and boxing.
