With Nintendo announcing a 2D version of its latest handheld, Marcus Mac Dhonnagáin looks at whether the 3D gaming experiment has died?

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.
No, the 3ds is selling faster than cocaine did in the 80's. The problem wasn't 3d, it's just that small kids couldn't enjoy the 3d portion due to it effecting their vision (or so i've been told). So I guess Nintendo thought-up of the 2ds so that families could buy the same system but for a $50 discount if their kid wasn't gonna use the 3d slidder anyway. Besides, it's a good bargain if you ever break the screen or hinges off of your current 3ds (if u own one), since you can still buy a 2ds if you don't wanna spend the money to buy a replacement 3ds.
I'm not the biggest fan of Iwata's handling of Nintendo, but I actually think that people are failing to see the simplistic convenience of the 2ds. It really is a good idea, if u don't like it, then buy a normal 3ds. If you don't like that either, then just buy a Vita, or play cell phone games, or just plain stfu. Quit hating on something that probably wasn't meant to be mass produced in large numbers anyway--it's a convenient alternative. Simple.
nope it means that things that aren't always +necessary should be OPTIONAL
are u listening MS?
I think the 3DS sales speaks for it self. Fire Emblem is a Masterpiece in stereo.. 2ds is being advertised for kids. But of course theres going to be people out there that don't read or listen and get all confused.
3DS sales speak for themselves. It's just the kids who can't use the 3D because it's not good for they're eyes.
Good article, 3D Gaming Sucks (sony,ms,nintendo)
