While it certainly looks similar to other controllers we’ve become all too familiar with, it does feature quite a few differences as well."

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.
... so I hope they can still fix those issues before it's released.
every step they seem to be making forward, they end up taking 2 back.. smh.. during sundays pre e3 show, i really thought they had it & finally were stepping it up..
The Gamecube controller was my first controller with a second control stick that was not Sony's. About twenty minutes after playing with it and I was used to it right away. I reckon the same thing applies here.
I get the feeling thier still in development stage with the Wii U and its Periphirals, as in a long way away from finishing it when its supposed to come out at the end of october, early november.
I wouldnt be surprised if they release it next year sometime.
