Controllers go through lengthy development periods with multiple filings to protect either future variations of existing controllers or establish ownership of potential ideas. Sometimes this is done if only to prevent other people from making something themselves.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Look over that patent list carefully. If I'm reading it right, Nintendo managed to patent "fun".
