After watching Satoru Iwata describe and detail the upcoming 3DS lineup, it has become apparent Nintendo has an identity crisis; games that should be released for Nintendo’s slumping home console are being released for the handheld.
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 🤷♂️
i see.. I wish em the best but im not interested in wii u.. 3DS is better imo
While the Wii U needs more software, they're making sure that the 3DS is the handheld of choice, since that's their main source of profits.
Finally someone wrote an article about this.. I don't get how more Nintendo supporters don't give a crap about that..
Even people who still use and like a Wii, all they have got is Xenoblade and Pandora's Tower as of late.. Nearly half those games, they announced for the 3DS.. could have at least also been on the Wii U or Wii with their own versions..
Was also funny cause Iwata specifically just said Wii, when he moved onto the Wii U part of the direct. Isn't that bad when your own president is still calling the Wii U, the Wii?
I mean don't get me wrong this happens, it definitely happens with Playstation also with the PS3 and Vita.. Just seems to happen more with Nintendo, they put so much focus on the 3DS at times it just seems bad.
It very well may keep 3DS sales going along but for the long run is that really going to help Nintendo as a whole? Dropping everything even your consoles for a handheld? Especially when some of these games would seriously just be better on console and honestly I feel like many of the 3DS games released, Nintendo fans should at least have the option to play a version on console instead if they wanted to..
What annoys me the most is when they take old Wii games, put them on the 3DS, making them look worse and revamp em instead.. Things like that I just still can't understand why they wouldn't make a Wii U or Wii version.. It isn't going to stop people from getting whatever it is on 3DS also..
In a way I feel like them never taking big chances will back fire on them eventually, I know no one will see that now or many won't ever simply because Nintendo has always done so well but I hope they change this aspect over time and put more attention into all their systems that are still available, not just the ones making the most money.
Yes that sounds stupid from a business perspective but at the same time they have to step outside the 3DS box, the 3DS isn't going to last them forever.
I agree with this story, as it is highly frustrating to see some truly great Nintendo inhouse, or 3rd party exclusives that should be coming to Wii-U, instead make there way to the 3DS. I mean, have the original dev. teams make them for Wii-U, & have another developer port them to 3DS, instead of the other way around.
Also, these crappy handmedowns that Wii-U is getting, like AC3, Ninja Gaiden, etc, etc, should be knocked on the head, & awesome NEW IP's should be made to take advantage of ALL the machines strengths.
Not to mention, taking Monster Hunter 3 as an example, it is just a redo of MH: Tri for 3DS, which to me, sucks, plainly put.
They have games coming out for the Wii U. Now with the 3ds those games have been in development far longer so it's time for them to show up. But here is the interesting part Reggie said games will pick up soon after E3 I think people will see them getting there game library beefed up for the holidays.
