Like any Smash Bros. fan, I've taken in the news of a Wii U iteration with great joy. Look at the awesome new characters! No tripping? Hooray! It'll find a sweet spot between casual and hardcore play? Excellent! And yet, there's a tinge of melancholy about it all: the Wii U doesn't have a GameCube controller port.

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.
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.
goodbye gamecube controller? .. how else am I gonna play all the gamecube games that have HIGH re-play value?
how else am I gonna play smash bros brawL ? or the new smash etc etc . . poor fanboy articles.
The Gamecube controller was one of my absolute favorites. The only issues with it were the uncomfortable L-R triggers, and the Z button was kinda unnecessary.
My toaster died this morning too, RIP bob the toaster..
The GC controller is so nostalgic for me. So's the GameCube itself. It and a hand-me-down SNES were my 1st consoles.
I really can't imagine playing the new smash bros game without this and the placement of the buttons on the pro-controller are... Eh
