Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony could all be sued by Fenner Investments over a dispute regarding joystick ports. Head inside to read more.

Another day, another lawsuit against Nintendo.

Although, this time, the three big players in the home console market could be facing legal action. A patent from 1998 and a Texas based company appear to be the cause of the problem.

The Lawsuit, filed by Fenner Investments, appears to be in reference to the joystick ports, presumably that these consoles are said to have used.

The merit behind the suit is unclear as of the filing. The patent summary reads: "The joystick port interface according the present invention is a low power port which interfaces a typical 5 Volt joystick peripheral device with a lower power computer port. The low-voltage joystick port interface includes a bidirectional buffer circuit and a pulse generator which, together, generate a digital pulse signal, representing a joystick coordinate position, based on an input analog measurement signal."

We'll keep you posted on this, as well as the new set of lawsuits that Nintendo will surely be facing.
