The suit, filed by Anascape Ltd. in 2006, claims that the designs of the Wii Classic, WaveBird, and GameCube controllers infringed on patents held by Anascape.
Microsoft was also named in the suit, which alleged that the two companies infringed upon a combined total of 12 different patents ranging from "Remote Controller with Analog Pressure Sensor(s)" to "Game Controller with Analog Pressure Sensors."
Microsoft reached an agreement with Anascape before the trial with Nintendo began.
Nintendo spokesman Charlie Scibetta said the company will be appealing the court's decision and expects the award will be reduced "significantly."
