Kevin of Paranerds writes " Whoa, hold on, what the hell gamers? Yeah, I’m talking to you. Nintendo seems to be doing…erm…not so well, and maybe it’s because they didn’t take our suggestions of what can save the Wii U, most likely not. Now, we know this isn’t the first time Nintendo has been in trouble (see the GameCube, Virtual Boy, DS, 3DS) but this is the first time that the gamers are saying “good riddance”."
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 🤷♂️
Great article
From what I've seen, it's mostly PS and Xbox gamers who want to play Nintendo games on their systems. They don't want to have to fork out for another piece of hardware just so they can get their Zelda/Mario/Smash fix, which is understandable.
Im a fan from the 80's Nintendo too.. but sad thing is it's not 1980's. a 35 year old gamer been there done that and they need new IPs.... not more Pokémon
Wow. That's a good read. Shame on insecure "gamers."
Lol! I bought a Wii U to play Nintendo triple A software. I think the Wii U games released this year will be played for many years. Nintendo is the best video game software developer in the world. Nintendo creates video game hardware that is invulnerable. It's kind of weird to think of how Many NES's or N64's will be capable of firing up one hundred years from now. It's kind of weird to think how many Xbone's will be capable of firing up six months from now. Anyways I guess I'll read the damn article. Wish I didn't.
