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

if this woman gets ONE CENT, shame on nintendo

****, shame on the law system.

Siezures are a medical issue, and I owned a 64 for as long as it was out, still have it, and I\'ve never had any medical problems with it, and I played it quite a lot.

The fact that this woman is blaming Nintendo for her neglecting the fact that her son was overplaying the 64 and that he was having medical problems is her own problem, and it shouldn\'t be Nintendo. Then again, who knows....she\'ll probably win the suit somehow.

See Yuz.

First thing I thought when I read this as well.

Sew Microsoft a sweater, some time later today that\'ll pop in my head while I\'m walking down the street, and I\'ll laugh, and people will look at me like I\'m a loon. Probably because I am, but what can I say?

Has any body played Skies of Arcadia? At the beginning of the game they post a warning for gamers that the game has some flashy sequences (not exact wording), and that they may cause epileptic seizures.

If this chick gets a dime out of Nintendo’s’ pocket (probably a settlement outside of court), they will probably start putting the warnings on the consoles themselves.
