The latest in our ongoing series of exclusive Iwata Asks interviews sees Nintendo’s head honcho finally locating and confronting one of the many internet trolls who constantly put his company down.
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 🤷♂️
This wasn't even funny...
Typical Nintendo fanboy "Y WE ALWAYS B DA VICTIMS?" bullshit.
You know they're Nintendo fans who only play Nintendo products Iwata, just saying.
This can be wrote about Nintendo fangirls as well. Ask the dude who wrote that those exact same questions except change Sony for Nintendo.
"I understand you only play games published on Nintendo consoles and as such have never enjoyed the intergalactic joy of Uncharted 2, the storytelling and Brutal action of God Of War 3 or the tender caress of a woman. Why is this?"
Well Nintendo make great games for the kids and the 35 year old man child in me loves playing games that have no blood, no violence or swear words in them and pink art directive games like Kirbys epic yarn just bring out my feminine side.
Also I have yet to feel the warm moisture between a womans thighs on the tip of my nob because I can't seem to get a woman past my Nintendo boxers, Mario Bedcovers and the Luigi wallpaper in my room.
"Evidently, she doesn’t let you play Mario Teaches Typing either. [Laughs]"
Thats because my mommy only buys me one different type of Mario game a year and considering theres about 50 different mario games out there I'll be 70 years old before I collect them all.
I love stereotyping the stereotypes out there.
Why do I play Sony games? I don't know, maybe I like ripping someones head off or bashing in their face until their blood has covered my eyes so much that I can't see ike in GOW3.
Or maybe I like sneaking up behind someone and slitting their throat or pushing my thumps through their eyes like in KZ3.
Or maybe I like playing beautiful games that tell a story brilliantly like in UC2.
Or maybe I like the variety Sony brings like how they make original superhero games like Infamous, let developers take risks with games like Heavy Rain and Beyond or how they don't just stick with 2 or 3 different genres but spread out to them all.
Good to see you haven't stooped to using strawmen to have one sided arguments as a means of getting hits.
