Claire Phillips of Capsule Computers writes, "With the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One perilously close to release, a new console is on the horizon for a lot of gamers.It suddenly dawned on me that I hadn’t spared a second thought for Nintendo in these particular console wars. Nintendo are responsible for me being a gamer, but I don’t own any of their "next generation" hardware. What gives?"
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 🤷♂️
Nintendo now have plenty of games I'd love to play, but by now I'm so invested in other platforms that I simply can't afford to buy their stuff and maintain another platform library. Maybe if I had more income.
People just overlook Nintendo but when you stop and take good look Nintendo especially the Wii outsold the XBOX360 and the Ps3 nearly 2 to 1 so no matter what people say, Nintendo will always be around even if you think they are not hardcore enough for you.
Wii U is finally getting some good games and while it won't match the muscle of the PS4 or Xbox One, their exclusives are what will always keep them going. I doubt they'll be the winner in terms of sales this gen but people don't give them enough credit in how well their 1st party games sell.
wii u is such an original system, i think it will be the perfect companion piece to a pc or ps4, and a perfect system for a nintendo fan.
i really feel like history will look back on the wii u in positive light despite it's slow start. games like the wonderful 101, armikrog, sonic lost world, x, bayonetta 2, and all the first party nintendo stuff are really stand out titles and they possess a certain creativity and artistic flair that i find lacking these days.
it reminds me how retro consoles really had identity, you knew what system a game was from just by looking at it. That was an n64 game, that was a saturn game. that feeling is really lost in a market dominated by multi platform titles, but i really feel it with the wii u because the little exclusives it does have are so far out there and different, and really make use of features only the system has.
I cant wait to get a wii u personally, it looks like a promising system. plus i can play all the wii games i (like many gamers) neglected. like nmh, madworld, xenoblade and some of the greats.
