Nintendo has largely avoided discussing the subject of online when it comes to Wii U; we're still in the dark on details regarding the presence of friend codes and other things that have hampered the online experience for owners of Nintendo's previous consoles. The one exception to this has been Miiverse, which has the potential to connect Wii U owners with each other in a new, interesting way. There is, however, at least one issue that stands in the way of it being a major success (aside from Wii U itself selling well), and that is Nintendo's desire to provide a safe environment for younger gamers.
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.
The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.
Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.
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.
That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.
It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.
A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.
People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers
Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.
I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.
The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷♂️
I've seen a lot of people disappointed by this, and I agree to a certain extent. How can the exciting notion of this constant flow of information and communication within a console-wide system really work if it's being moderated?
But the more I think of it, the more I know that there's no other way of doing it. As soon as I saw that people could draw pictures of anything they want to post, I decided that it would be about three seconds until somebody uploaded their first pair of boobs.
It's a great system, but there's no other way that I can think of that Nintendo can protect the gaming experiences of both children and adults looking to de-stress without moderation. If you think hearing "faggot" every couple of seconds is bad in Call of Duty, imagine seeing it every time you boot up your console as well...
Honestly while i agree that there should be show censoring let the parental control decide if that's the case.
Like two adults want to say swears the should be able to say them but for kids they won't see it unless the parents think they can handle it.
I don't think it will be so strict, but people deserve not to be offended by racists or profanity online.
The biggest problem is what if they start censoring things that don't need censored
"Hey guys i played this game and i didn't like it" maybe the person has a good reason to say that.
I could easily see this kinda censorship happen because let's face it sometimes all you have to do to offend someone is have a different opinion then them and that's not the kinda censorship anyone wants.
As long as Nintendo doesn't monitor what I say to people on my "friends list" then I don't mind.
