Is Nintendo trying to put on a fake front with the hook of it's newest Mario game, or is there something I'm not seeing?

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.
True, very true.
WTF did i just read?
haters gonna hate
Why take elements from WARIO instead of making an actual WARIO.. I think a Wario Land for 3DS would be killer.. Him & WaLuigi running around greedily collecting coins n treasures in multiplayer would be soooooooo much more appealing & fresh to play than the same thing w a twist.. The virtual boy wario land was awesome & that style of gameplay would be perfect
I'll download this day 1. :)
