Grainger Games takes a look at new Nintendo 3DS game Bravely Default and wonders whether it's the game to inject fresh life and new ideas into the JRPG genre.
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 🤷♂️
there should have been a question: Did it save Square Enix?

JRPG's don't need saving. How many times this type of article comes up (or reviews do the "long-awaited evolution of the JRPG's" spiel) whenever a good JRPG comes out pretty much proves my point. It's like these writers and review sites don't even pay attention to themselves.
Xenoblade, for me, is what saved the jrpg genre. I wasn't a big of the genre until I played Xenoblade. Now I am alot more interested in SMT, Final Fantasy, and others.
Bravely Default is very good, I'd say it's better than most of Square Enix's recent JRPGs. Note that it's not developed by Square Enix's own studios but by Silicon Studio (makers of 3D Dot Game Heroes).
The tales series is a living example that jrpg's are still alive in this generation.
