Some people see the controller as “gigantic and off-putting“, and then certain supports cannot understand the fuss if the Wii U controller is comfortable, then what’s the harm?

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.
If they launch the Wii U with standard controllers as well then I don't see a problem.
I hate gimmicks.
Problem? so the button configuration that so called "HARDCORE" gamers haven been using the last 6 years is now no good because it has the extra added feature of the second screen? i would see a problem if they left out features but you are getting the same and then some. some people just complain for the sake of it
Since it has yet to be released and all of this is conjecture as of now; I will wait until I see what they have planned for the controller. I'm sure it'll be moderately interesting.
"This thing looks like a piece of crap, i'd never use this junk"
That's what i thought when i first saw it, but now that i've seen some videos and all-angle screenshots and have a mental feel for it (if that makes any sense), i think it can be used for hardcore games.
