The [a]list daily: "We look at whether the 2DS and the Wii U price drop give Nintendo a good chance in a difficult environment."
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 🤷♂️
price-wise the 2DS is a good move but the convenience of folding a 3DS is still worth the extra cash. as for the Wii U, i think they released it too early with hardly any games. with Zelda, DK and Smash Bros. coming out, Wii U is gonna see a sales increase by the 2014 summer.
Don't forget that the 3DS is recommended for kids ages 7+ due to the 3D effect. I know you can just restrict the slider with a pin code to prevent your child from enabling it, but this allows them to play all the newer games on a system that won't potentially hurt their eyes.
Not to mention it is $50+ cheaper. That's a huge difference to parents.
Personally I love my 3DS and I wouldn't trade the folding design for anything, but it is still a smart move on Nintendo's part.
As for the Wii U releasing with no games, you do realize that if you look at the launch, no other game system has released with this many AAA titles, regardless if some were ports of older PS360 games (AC3 and Black Ops 2 do not count since they launched within 2 weeks of the other systems). The only thing Nintendo dropped the ball on was not having one or two more 1st party AAA titles available at launch. Regardless, things will pick up over the fall and 2014 for them, they will be fine.
