The litigants and defendants would not be compelled to contribute equal amounts. Just the disbursement would be equal.

Nintendo gets the pot because they won right?
As I pointed out to another user, this reverses the damage if they win, but does not solve the problem of preventing them from being able to win.
Now if you make it where if you want to spend $5 on lawyer fees, you have to loan $5 to the other side and if the other side wins they don't have to pay it back, that may work.
That's essentially what I was suggesting with having to loan the opposing team the same amount of money you spend.
