Apple Vs. Nintendo Fued On The Way? Not So Fast.
You likely saw the post the other day describing the recent patent applied for by Nintendo, now it seems that this bit of news may have just been the tip of the iceberg to something much bigger. Apparently, the New York Post is reporting that Apple has taken issue with the plans that it looks Nintendo is making, supposedly finding too many similarities with their iPhone. That publication would have you believe that Apple is building a small army of would be gamers by installing similar features as described in the Nintendo patent within the iPhone.
Honestly, this love / hate relationship between the two companies has been a fanboy wet dream in some shape or fashion for around a year or two now. Ever since the DS Lite was released, messageboard and talkback lurkers have compared its design as akin to the iPod. Which, really, in this bloggers opinion is the same as comparing a Ford to a Toyota on the basis that they both have four tires and a steering wheel. Basically, it’s a stretch. Should you have believed similar internet chatter, and should the New York Post have picked up on that meme, Nintendo and Apple would have merged by now. Giving us a lovable and friendly company of technological cuteness.
But it’s not gonna happen. All this amounts to is a sensationalist newspaper digging around on the innerweb for news it can publish to make it seem hip. If it actually does happen, you’ll hear more credible information from a more credible source.
