Nintendo found out that the small firm in Malmö had been using the name, and threw their lawyers of doom at the partners, forcing a change. One of the firm’s two partners, Christer Wihlborg, claims innocence, saying that his name starts with “Wi” and there are two owners, which apparently led to a completely independent and innocent decision being made about the surgery’s name....

Although the game launched back in September on consoles, it just hitting the mobile platform as of a few weeks ago....
