Seems Anascape Ltd. wasn't satisfied with US$ 21 million. Anascape is the company that slammed Nintendo with a patent infringement suit on several of their controller designs, a case that Nintendo lost and was ordered to pay US$ 21 million for. The story isn't over yet though - Anascape now wants to ban Nintendo from selling the controllers at all.

The controllers in question are the Wii Classic Controller, the WaveBird controller, and the GameCube controller. It seems that Anascape wants to ban these so that they can enter the market themselves, claiming that Nintendo has "clogged the channel." The ban is put on hold while Nintendo files an appeal.

The judge overseeing the case said that Nintendo will have to post a bond or put royalties in an escrow acccount to avoid the consequence of a ban.
