This has been bothering me for a while so I'll just go out and say it, Nintendo needs to grow up. It is hard for me to imagine who can still be loyal to Nintendo after all these years other than little kids. There is no sympathy inside me seeing the Wii U fail so far, in fact I am glad the Wii U is doing so poorly in sales right now because they brought this upon themselves.
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 🤷♂️
"What has Nintendo become?"
A company that makes consoles and games.
Kinda like what it has been doing for the last 30 or so years.
What it was during the N64 and GameCube era...not first place.
And now with less graphics.

Nintendo make some baffling desicions but its like these so called hardcore gamers believe kids and families aren't allowed to enjoy games. Nintendo is dedicated to making games everyone can enjoy like Mario , so they wont make a gritty shooter or games where you can choose you sexual partners. Get used to it
I am afraid the Wii U is gong to be Nintendo's Dreamcast. It is selling way below expectation and it is only going to get worst when the PS4/X720 are released. Nintendo were lucky in the Wii in that the motion control attract a new casual segments but core games simply don't exist or sell on the Wii. I wish them all the luck because I owned all the Nintendo systems and it will be a sad day when they are out of the hardware business.
What I still don't understand is with all the money that Nintendo made with the Wii, why can't they make a system that is truly next generation so third party can easily port their games over. With Nintendo's strong game profile and third party core game support, Nintendo could of easily compete with both Sony and Microsoft but they are not willing to take a loss on the hardware; in turn, that will be their downfall.
