GenGAME writes: Although it wasn’t an entirely new concept, the DS changed the face of gaming with its two screen gameplay. Having a secondary screen that could be operated with simple touch controls simplified existing gameplay ideas while creating new, more complicated ones. The immense success of the DS made incorporating a second screen into the 3DS a no-brainer, but with the Wii U Nintendo is taking a bit more of a risk. Unlike any previous home console, the Wii U is making two screen gaming a major focal point. Nintendo is hoping that the two screen gameplay that has been so well received on the DS and 3DS will translate into success for the Wii U as well, but that’s not necessarily a guarantee.
Bringing a second screen to the forefront of console gaming is going to be a challenge for Nintendo. It will certainly offer a lot of potential advantages and open up new gameplay possibilities, but it won’t be as easy to implement as it was on the DS. How well the Wii U is received depends on Nintendo’s ability to evolve the ideas they started on the DS in order to make them just as fun and accessible as they are on a handheld system.
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
The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.
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 🤷♂️
I think the DS comparison misses what makes Wii U so unique, and as such I'm glad you addressed it. I think people forget that because Wii U is a home console, there is a large screen, which is shared and seen by everyone, and a small screen, which is in the hands of a single player and out of sight.
With the DS, the second screen was mostly for displaying information and offering an alternative form of input. With Wii U, however, you open up possibilities in terms of other players "not seeing what you see" and being able to influence the tone and tempo of the game in that way. Previously the only real way to do this when playing with others in the same room was via LAN or via linking up handheld systems; now this dynamic has basically been built into the home console with Wii U.
Nintendo already have a slew of games it's holding back in this regard. The Gamepad is light enough to lift in peripheral with the television many times duering gameplay. There are so many possibilities when playing with other people, I would think Nintendo is having a blast coming up with all their new ideas.
I can't see how people don't recognize the innovation in this idea. This is ideal for any type of game, it doesn't matter what it is. This would allow first person games a 360 degree point of view by simply moving the controller. Why are there so many nay-sayers? Are people tired of Nintendo coming up with new ideas?
They may have struck gold with this one, that is, if the world is ready.
I tried it out yesterday at Gamestop and have to say I am looking forward to getting it. The controller was nothing like some Sony fanboys have been going around saying. It felt comfortable and sturdy. Really was bigger than I was expecting but also fit nicely in my hands. played Rayman and honestly I really enjoyed the game and the music that went along with it.
