Our latest editorial from managing editor Esteban Cuevas. Is the Wii U down for the count?
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 🤷♂️
In this early in the stage to give an answer. Currently it may not be doing as good as PS4 and XB1 but this generation is just start. We don't know what the final outcome may look like. So its best to wait before declaring it a failure right now.
It is too early to say (as they can turn the go around) but I do think the inclusion of a tablet controller was a mistake. It shot up the price per unit and it came across as an extra accessory to the Wii (with its advertising focusing on trying to take some market share from the tablet market with a device that is barely a tablet)
If Nintendo were clever and thought about it they would have had their 3DS play that role (tablet controller role) and spent more money on the Wii Us hardware (the money that was used for the tablet controller) or made the device ridiculously cheap (that worked very well for the Wii)
Hope not, just bought one for my daughter for the holidays. Might even buy Monster Hunter 3, for myself :D
It's not turning into a Wii, and that's what Nintendo needs. Wii U = Dreamcast....
wait until mario kart 8, smash bros and zelda wii u come out then we'll discuss this topic
wii u isn't gonna go down without a fight
