The most worrying part about this to me, is that if Nintendo wins this lawsuit, they might start going after other games for "similar" mechanics.
Enjoy a game where your character jumps? Oops, Mario does that.
Like swinging a sword around? Green Tunic Twink Boy has that covered.
I'm being hyperbolic of course, but once the door is open for this sort of thing, I think it will become much, much more common. Indie games are the only real threat to the big AAA companies, and the only real reason they don't charge $200 a game, but if they can sue any indy company into bankruptcy, they'll have no challenges to their overpriced slop.
