Wii proved that graphical excellence is not essential. Randy Lamberson wonders whether Nintendo can pull off the trick again with the Wii U.

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.
Is it "gettin' kinda Hectic?"
first of all this guy is a clown..the wiiu is a very powerful system and the next generation of console powers will not be too much different so the wiiu is in the lead to stay and with third parties on board and innovation on hand....there is a possibility that the wiiu will be nintendo's most successful system ever...time will tell..but haters will hate along the way
Im starting to think that the Wii U might be Nintendo's last console and i'm ok with that, if they do end up going the software route only. I just don't think it's going to do anywhere as good as the Wii.
OK, let's take out the "I dont like the wii because is a gimmick and I'm a moustache macho and bla bla bla" from the equation. Even if the self-called "gaming journalism professionals" dont like the Wii, or Nintendo products, the truth is that Nintendo is a company, and a company is made to get money, not to make professionals happy. Same as Sony and Ms. even if you cant believe it. So, as a company, the "hated" wii sold, and still sells like hotcakes, same as the "doomed gimic" 3DS (and the XL version had a strong start), and the "hated" franchises from Nintendo still have high scores everytime they launch a new game. Wich is great for the Nintendo company.
So, maybe Nintendo did lost the touch. With you. But, luckily for Nintendo, you're not the only customer they have. Accept it.
