As many of you know, in a one hour conference, Microsoft revealed the new Xbox One to the world. Boasting of all new improved hardware, features and games, the Xbox One is positioned to take over the living room. The curious thing about the Xbox One is that very fact, it’s poised to take over the living room. In their attempts to create an all-in-one media device, Microsoft announced a console that seamlessly integrates your cable box, videos, music, apps, sports and TV shows. Oh, and it also plays games.
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'll never buy Wii U because i'm not into Nintendo first party software
Honestly I give Nintendo props for keeping their systems game consoles. The wii U can play Blu Ray disc game wise, but can't play Blu-Ray dvd's which is not a big deal to me. They kept it simple and thats where I feel the other industries are losing some gamers.
The Wii U is a console for people who love Nintendo first party titles primarily, with a great 3rd party effort here and there. Someone who is looking for the all in one package, would best be suited to look at the PS4, since you get some great exclusives along with the 3rd party love Nintendo is lacking.
I truly feel we will still see plenty of 3rd party support on the Wii U and more developers will embrace it once its install base begins to grow.
I bought it purely so that I could play the next Legend of Zelda, the next Metroid, F-Zero, etc on the only place you will find them (outside of the 3DS).
If you want a console so you can play GTA, AC, CoD, etc - stick with one of the other two consoles. Us Nintendo gamers are very particular. ;)
Thank you Nintendo for keeping it real. I can ,at the touch of a button, on my gamepad, switch from TV, To the internet to a game. TVii is great and does allot of what Xbox one is doing. TVii is still a work in progress, but it will get there sooner than later. They just need to add the DVR function and that should happen soon.
What my Wii U does best, is play games. This year I think we are finally going to see some really great games on Wii U. Need for Speed has shown us the Wii U is more capable than lazy developers were doing with ports. Now we will see what other things developers like Sega, Ubi, Capcom and of coarse Nintendo 1st party have in store for us. The gamepad offers us yet another choice of a way to play games,we have pro-controllers, and Wii Remotes. Nintendo has offered us different ways to play, and added developers more choices on what they can do, and gamers more options on how they would like to play.
I Do not need my console to actually be a DVR,cable box or Skype (u can have facetime on wii u too). I already have all that. How much is this Xbox One going to cost? How much of the cost was unnecessary for gamers? Gamers play games. I don't want another bill every month for what is supposed to be primarily a GAME console.
Guess what my wii u has? Backwards compatability
