BATON ROUGE, LA. A Louisiana woman is suing Nintendo, alleging her 30-year-old son suffered seizures after playing video games for eight hours a day, six days a week.

The lawsuit filed in federal court says the man died last year after hitting his head and mouth on a table during one of the seizures. It claims the man never had seizures before buying a Nintendo-64 player in 1999.

His mother is seeking unspecified damages for her own medical and funeral expenses, for mental and emotional anguish, and for her son's lost future earnings.

A spokesman for Nintendo is declining comment on the lawsuit. In court records, the company denies any wrongdoing.



I think it's pretty funny that she wants damages for "her son's lost future earnings". So...how do you calculate the earnings of a 30 yr old guy who spends 8 hours a day, six days a week on Nintendo?

I had planned a massive Madden Binge, but now I may cut back on it.

I hope it wasnt 06' because that game can give you a coma.
