So...Red Dead Redemption infringes two of these three patents?

  • Throwing an object (lasso) to capture a target
  • Player character being able to ride on another character (horse)

Is Nintendo afraid because Rockstar can actually afford the lawsuit?

Don’t let them know that!

It‘s likely a japanese patent so I doubt Nintendo can sue Rockstar.
