Random Nintendo examines how the curiously designed, 3D-less handheld will help Nintendo overcome the issues that currently face the 3DS.

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.
people often ask why nintendo doesn't just go the route of sega and sell software. nintendo is interested in selling hardware. in what seems like an annual schedule we see new hardware or revisions of older systems all the time. and they most often make money on that hardware from launch unlike m$ and sony who often sell there hardware at a loss.
the 2ds is a good idea in that it offers a very cheap alternative into dedicated handheld gaming with a ton of software already available. on the other hand what it says to me is that 3d didn't seem to gel with gamers. sony failed with it and now nintendo knows gamers don't care for it either.
All so it mite get people buy a wii u as that is a tablet gaming as well
I don't see a problem with it at all. you want 3d it's there, you want something a little cheaper here's the system in 2d.
you've got small kids and you want a more robust easier version of the console. well here it is.
I will never understand the mentality of people that thinking that having potentially more people being able to play anything is a bad idea.
Why is it a good idea? well it got me and several other people i know a LOT more interested in buying one with such a cheap price
Here's my situation:
I only want to play Pokemon and Zelda.
Will I pay full price for a 3ds to play two games? No.
Will I pay $130 for what is basically the same handheld to play the same games? Hell yes.
