Pure Sophistry: Last to the block in terms of major hardware and software developers and publishers is Nintendo, the dark horse of the seventh generation with its amazing performance with the Nintendo Wii. More recently, this horse has stumbled at the first hurdle within the eight generation, and the other horses haven’t even started the race yet. The Nintendo Direct show at E3, in place of the normal press conference format, is Nintendo’s chance to show that even at high odds, the Wii U (a horse I’m already backing) is worth a flutter. So, are we looking at the eight generations Derby winner? Or will the Wii U be turned to Wii Glue? Read on for my hastily scribbled notes which I dropped behind my desk and tried to interpret for the common tongue below to find out!
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 🤷♂️

At least try to be reasonable. How can any Wii U fan be excited about the Nintendo Direct? Literally every game they announced or gave information on are games you know, without any doubt, Nintendo would be making and likely soon except Retro making a Donkey Kong game instead of Metroid or something new.. What's worse, just about all of the big games are coming NEXT YEAR. Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, X (Looks sweeeet), next year.
Meanwhile Sony was incredibly impressive. And while they didn't show a bunch of new exclusives, and subsequently didn't have the amazing showing they could have, their game lineup still looks very compelling and most of their big studios have yet to announce their current projects.
EDIT: And at the moment, the PS4 is only $50 more. Wrap your head around that...
Looking at the title alone , wow seriously ?
I'm looking forward to X , MK8 , smash and Bayonetta 2 ...
However if you werent a mario fan , all you had left was indeed X and Bayo2 .
Zelda fans had a (lackluster imo) Link to the past sequel ...
Retro studios fans had Donkey kong over Metroid or even a new ip .
I went in only expected sequels to stuff i might like , and there were even less of those than expected . it was ok but hardly that interesting with everything good coming at a later date .
Forget the gibberish about delivering pure gameplay content to the main media outlet , the internet , over "dusty e3 conferences" ... they know what they had , or mostly didnt have , and ran away to not get ridiculed
There was nothing that made me want to get a Wii U, and it was incredibly safe.
It was an okay conference, very short, very predictable
Dominated? So having a flop of a system so far and having a truck load of same ole same ole IP's then to top it all off they don't have a press conference and this is considered dominating? Wow is all I have to say. wake me up when the wii u actually has 3rd party interest.
