Today was a big, if somewhat unexpected, day of Nintendo announcements. Nintendo unleashed a flurry of exciting news during their Nintendo Direct presentation including the confirmation of a Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle, a $50 price drop for the Wii U, and perhaps most surprisingly, a new member of the Nintendo 3DS family of handhelds, the Nintendo 2DS.
Be sure to check out the gallery below to get a closer look at Nintendo’s latest handheld hardware.

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.
Again calling it a 3DS variant (despite using the same software) kinda stretches things, what was wrong with "DS-U" or "DS Tablet"?
Okay maybe not the former....
Next, Nintendo will release a Wii u without the game pad.
This is actually pretty smart. I know dozens who have not bought one because of the price amd the fact that they have no interest in the 3d. Not smart that it does not fold up.
I actually like this device. I have a one boy who has been asking for a 3ds. This might be a better option for him.
I foresee a tablet handheld from them. I think that's what they wanted to do but had to opt for utilizing current hardware for this release.
