I don't want some stupid warning on the screen at all times, or some sort of "seizure meter" on there. I also don't want all those cool l337 looking flashy graphical effects removed! I mean, then half the "cool" of the battle against Ganondorf in OOT is like... gone! Such as, I dunno, seing the thing you are supposed to bounce back. What, are they supposed to turn it into a rock or something? Oh yeah, that's really enthralling there.
Yeesh, this sort of thing has been known for years, as the article said, and isn't JUST from video games. Heck, the first real case of this, widespread, happened with a TV show, not a video game (that show was BASED on a video game, but that's not the point). Why not sue helicopter makers because the blades go too fast and create a pattern, forcing them to slow the blades down? *crash* And let's not forget that all striped suits should be banned!
I just can't believe Nintendo settled. Nintendo ALWAYS wins when people sue them over stupid things.
I THINK a warning in the precaution booklets is MORE than enough. If parents don't read those, then they are to blame. It's like blaming a toaster maker because the warning not to put metal objects in it while it's on is ONLY in the instruction manuel and not emblazoned on the sides, and the toaster doesn't have a built in metal detector that shuts the toaster off if something metal is nearby.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
