For all its magnificent games and past successes, Nintendo has always been a little tone deaf when it comes to detecting and embracing new gaming trends. That brashness is finally catching up with the legendary video game company.
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 🤷♂️
nintendos problem is they saturated the market with wiis, mario, and zelda, and 3ds's. if someone has the wii and 3ds they have no reason to get the wii u at this point because they have nsmb wii, and nsmb 3ds and mario 3d land and mario galaxy. so a nsmb u really not gonna make people jump at getting the 350 dollar wii u.
most people think its just an add on. They think the u in wii u stands for the add on pad things is what people think when i talk to them.
similar to wii fit and how that was an add on.
also wii
-mote
-zapper
-nunchuck
you can see how casuals would make the mistake in assuming its an add on especially since nsmb looks like the past ones if you dont know much about it or play it in depth.
more and more people are like i will get the monster hunter for 3ds no need to get the wii u one or i will get mariokart 3ds and play with that instead of waiting for mario kart wii u.
pretty harsh truths that should be acknowledged
*reads headline*
Answer: Ignorance.
Ok so the article is a little skewed. Comparing any system of the fame and sales of the Wii is a counterproductive article, imo. Wii was like a miracle system... A system wont sale like that maybe ever... And the article fails to mention that Nintendo unlike Sony and MS and JUST a GAMING company. Meaning they don't have power that MS and Sony (not for long "sony" has some real financial problems) have. they could afford to jump on trends and push other properties with their systems back then)
But I do agree that Nintendo rarely jumps on the latest trends, WHY? because that's Nintendo. N would rather innovate and make good games rather than follow other companies! I'm gonna love the next Xbox or PS4 (IDK which I will get yet) But i know that the games will be the same style of games as I been playing on this gen but just prettier.
My Wii U on the other hand, the gampad lets me play differently. That has to mean something. In time more and more gamers will understand what i see now, but only later.
