GR: In case you haven't heard, Nintendo didn't have a particularly great 2013, especially when considering the underwhelming performance of Wii U. That said, company president Satoru Iwata has no intention of resigning.
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 🤷♂️
Why not? He obviously doesn't know what he's doing anymore with the Wii U, why not get someone more "understanding" of the constant changes to this gaming industry so Nintendo can at least try to be up to speed on things and I'm not saying do exactly what Sony/MS are doing but at least be close to them so your not dragging behind because when it is time to catch up your going to be so far behind it will take ages to get back on top, I mean take Nintendos online for example we are in a new gen and it's still crap compared to XBL and the PSN, a game like Super Mario 3D World should of been the perfect online Mario game to play with friends, why go all out with 4 characters and team work in your game and don't allow gamers to go online with it, what if your friend can't come over because they are too far away or at Uni in another part of the country.
Seriously he's done alright with the 3DS but the main consoles is what we should be focusing on here, he's done a pretty louzy job right down to when he first "announced" the Wii U, is it a gamepad add on? Is it a new handheld? Is it a new console? He couldn't even get that across at the time, then we have the name it's self, thinking he could latch onto the success of the Wii brand by thinking because it's sold so well everyone will buy a console named the "Wii U" when it's pretty much had the opposite effect.
We really need someone in charge who can keep up with current trends and actually do what gamers want instead of just picking something THEY want to do.
You know people think this is hating on Nintendo but really it's just tough love. I don't want to see Nintendo end up like SEGA or end up a shipwreck.
I think Nintendo needs someone younger/fresher, someone in their 30s/40s who have a grasp on the modern world of electronics and entertainment.
Nintendo banked too much on the success of the Wii carrying the WiiU but the majority of people who bought a Wii bought it for the novelty and for 1 or 2 games!
The casual have moved onto phones and tablets so maybe Nintendo should focus more on the core gamers and bring games like Metroid, Star Fox, Fzero etc.
I dont think releasing new and powerful hardware so soon after the WiiU launch is the answer but getting games on the WiiU is the answer!
it's worth noting that nintendo shares are down http://finance.yahoo.com/q?... almost 15%
Iwata won't go because of this:

Anyone who puts money on Nintendo finishes to win more money. You won't have the same results in Sony, for example. This is why he is extremely important, the reason that Nintendo won't let him go. Notice I really want his resign, but that's the reason.
