"I support and have always been a huge fan of just about anything Nintendo has been involved with. I have more fond memories from there franchises and systems over the years than anyone. That was until the Wii. Since then they have seemed to have lost their focus and direction. Innovation is a good thing but when it comes before games and the fans that have supported you, it becomes a serious issue." -BootHammer
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 🤷♂️
They do seem to be repeating this apology speech and admitting over and over again that they realize the Wii U isn't doing well with little resolve.
Slowly but surely there are some great games coming but they really need to focus on brand new IP's and reviving older franchises as you brought up. And please promote the blasted thing Nintendo.
One of nintendo problems with sales is they dont advertise at all Ive seen more xbox one ads in the last week than ive ever seen for wii u since release. i know people who don't even know what a wii u is or think it a add on for the wii
I don't think the WiiU's problems will end soon it all depends if Mario can keep the console afloat and also how well both Sony and Microsofts consoles do at launch. The holidays are going to dictate the Wii U's future. ;)
Nintendo just needs to release the software....And not the easy stuff like a 2d Mario and Donkey Kong.
Make full 3D mario, full 3D Donkey Kong, New Star Fox that is not 2 hours long, New Zelda that is similar to the Twilight Princess visuals, and throw in a full 3D pokemon on Wii U, shake it over Super Smash Brothers, and you have the best freaking console on the market.
I think they'll start advertising through the holidays and after, part of why they're waiting is probably to get wiis off shelves before launching a campaign and having everyone still be confused.
