uhhh, one release date announced.. lame.

I count 3. Just because they aren't in NA doesn't mean they don't exist.

Xof5005d ago

But they don't exist. Games in one region don't exist for anyone in the other regions because Nintendo region-locked the 3DS.

AboutLastNight55004d ago

So because you can't play them in one country means....they don't exist at all? I would imagine international readers would disagree with you. Some articles can apply to more than just North America.

Xof5004d ago

Way to completely miss the point. And the only person talking about North America is YOU.

Yes, objectively, if a game exists, it exists. Are we stupid enough to argue this point? No. But the 3DS is region-locked. This means that gamers in one region CANNOT play games from another region, so, effectively, they do -not- exist for gamers outside of that region.

Now, because apparently I have to spell this out for you, this means the following. For Nintendo 3DS gamers:

European gamers cannot play games from the Americas or Asia. These games 'may as well' not exist (because they cannot be played, period).

American gamers cannot play games from Europe or Asia. These games 'may as well' not exist (because they cannot be played, period).

Asian gamers cannot play games from America or Europe. These games 'may as well' not exist (because they cannot be played, period).

This is my last post on the subject, so if you still don't get it, read it twice. Or three times. As many times as it takes.

Ok? So just because one game from one region can't be played in another region, it doesn't deserve news? I would still like to hear about games from other regions, which was MY entire point. I think it is you who is missing the point, and clearly put too much thought into a wasteful post.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

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.

PRIMORDUS43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

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.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi68d ago

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.

AuraAbjure68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer69d ago

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.

-Foxtrot68d ago

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

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

Inverno68d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay68d ago

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.

Inverno67d ago

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.

Killer2020UK67d ago

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 🤷‍♂️
