IGN - Reggie describes the learning process in unveiling a new console.
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 🤷♂️
Nintendo is gonna have a hard time marketing the wii u what with stiff competion from tablets like the kindle fire HD and possibly the iPad mini. They are going to need a solid marketing strategy to clearly convey to all the families why they need this. I am very excited for this system in the short term and what the long term has to offer.
I dont see the general populace flocking to this like they did with the Wii.
Nintendo manage to obtain that Apple magic. Small upgrades with huge sales.
I just know the casuals are going to see the tablet controller as something that it really isnt... I can see some unhappy buyers... not many, but they will exist!
People keep talking about how the casuals are going to see the controller for WiiU and not know what the WiiU really is all about. The truth is that it doesn't matter if they understand the product. All Nintendo needs to do is get people into the stores with the intent of buying a WiiU. If people go in thinking they are buying a tablet for the Wii it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because they are probably thinking that it will cost them around a $100 like that exercise pad did. So they are already ready to spend at least a $100 and they want the product. Finding out that it's a new console that cost $299 will make them rethink the move. But as they are trying to talk themselves out of it, the fact that the WiiU is the new big thing and in their mind it's only $200 more will convince a lot of people to just impulse buy and take that leap.
The ones that don't will keep the WiiU in mind and do a bit of research. The sites they look at, and obviously it won't be n4g, will hype the WiiU as the next big thing. That hype along with their intent to buy will be more than enough to make them go back and buy a WiiU.
Companies tend to release major products around November/December because they want to take advantage of this sort of a logic. If a product has enough hype than this logic continues to apply after the holiday season is over.
