It’s not just a game, Gamevice sues Nintendo
October 5, 2017
On August 10, a company called Gamevice threatened to sue the powerful game company, Nintendo, for their motion controls remote. Their wikipad controls are used to play android games. Gamevice came out with their motion controls remote four years ago and it didn’t sell well, therfore it was discontinued. They now make other accessories for android devices. Using Gamevice’s wikipad, you can slide the controller into your tablet used for portable gaming. This is something similar to the brand new Nintendo Switch; however, Gamevice is only interested in suing for Nintendo motion controllers known as joy cons that use similar buttons placement on the controller, but with a couple of minor differences. The wikipad is used for playing android games while the Nintendo switch can be used to play Nintendo games, as well as their party games. Some similarities are the motion to detect what you’re doing in games like waving, shaking and dropping the controller. Nintendo has won many lawsuits in the past, but also lost some like the 3DS lawsuit, where they lost millions. If they succeed, Nintendo will get sued for millions and they will stop the production of the Switch.

So this is either your first or second article. The lawsuit itself an interesting event to report on that is not well known. All in all, the fact you decided to write it is quite admirable in itself.
However, your article would have been much more accurate if you cited specific websites to list precise dollar amounts to back up your points involving the lawsuit amount and the amount the Wikipad originally sold for. Precise numbers given directly from websites will only make an article more credible, which gives more credence to you as a writer. In every article, you do you should back up with what you say from at least one credible website.
Also, you need to pay attention to how you write down specific products. You did well addressing the console, the Nintendo Switch with capital letters but Wikipad was constantly written down with a lowercased w. Wikipad is a product similar to the Switch so it should be uppercased just like that. It’s important to pay attention to this and fix it because it is a major part of your article, the main point is about Gamevice suing Nintendo over similarities spotted with the Wikipad itself. If something is frequently mentioned in your article, it’s imperative that you’ve spelled it and wrote it correctly otherwise that glaring mistake will be enormously noticeable and frequent.
The article was clear and concise when delivering the information given which is another plus but hopefully, you can improve in citing sources and double checking what you wrote (i.e the Wikipad capitilization). That way a clear and concise way of presenting information can be properly reinforced with accurate sources and conventional methods of writing.
