Nintendo, Samsung Electronics Scrap Lawsuits: The two companies said they have dropped the suits they filed against each other after Nintendo alleged that Samsung made illegal copies of its video games. As part of a settlement, neither company will pay money to the other, they said. Nintendo Corp. a Japan-based maker of home video game players and games, filed suit in Seattle in January, alleging that Samsung Electronics Co. was making illegal copies of game cartridges that plug into Nintendo home video game machines. Samsung, a Korean consumer electronics manufacturer, denied it did anything wrong and countersued. Nintendo said it no longer suspects Samsung of having made the illegal copies.
