Steve Conger writes, "If it isn’t blatantly obvious already, Nintendo seems to be prepared to hit the ground running with the “core” gaming audience when it’s new piece of kit lands later this Fall. It’s no secret that the Wii, for all intents and purposes, was a glorified gimmick for all but those who took the time to see through that facade. So, with the Wii U carrying on the moniker(and perhaps stigma, for that matter) of the previous generation, how does the big “N” go about drawing gaming enthusiasts back into the fold? Software. EXCLUSIVE software."

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.

Xenoblade Chronicles series composer Manami Kiyota has possibly finished the final orchestra recording for the next Monolith Soft title.
Makes sense. It's been nearly 3 years since the DLC for 3 came out. The next Xenoblade or whatever they end up calling it will probably come out next year.
It seems that Platinum Games has made many a AAA exclusive offering within the Nintendo umbrella of console gaming. With the likes of Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101 and previous exclusive offerings on the Nintendo Wii entertainment system. It would not surprise me one bit if Nintendo was already in negotiations of some kind with Platinum Games.
It has gone on record that someone within Platinum Games (dont remember name) has already shown interest to work with Nintendo in developing the next iteration of the Starfox franchise. First they make multiple exclusive offerings for the Nintendo fanbase, now they show interest in Nintendo 1st party exclusive offerings. It is looking very much some type of collaboration could come to reality in the near future.
After the much anticipated release of Nintendo Wii U entertainment system AAA exclusive Bayonetta 2. I hope that Nintendo shines its innovative light toward the under appreciated Vanquish IP as well. Vanquish 2 co developed with Nintendo would be a very tasty treat.
Nintendo has been showing great interest in satisfying the hardcore gamer next generation just as much as the casual supporters. A merge with AAA software giant Platinum Games could be an Ace in the hole as far as winning business strategy is concerned. And would provide an earth shattering MEGATON announcement at one of the many gaming conferences throughout the year. I am going to keep my lucky Super Mario hat around in hopes that a deal like this is etched into stone.
Rated E For Everyone
it's possible.
Ah sooky sooky now..lol.
If haters outrage just for one game, imagine what they will do if Nintendo buys platinum games.
Haters will outrage IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
its only a matter of time, with how the supported the wii and now with this first party treatment Nintendo is giving to them. seems like they respect each other.
