With a flurry of news emanating from Nintendo’s earnings reports, sales forecasts, and quarterly results, the company’s chief executive, Satoru Iwata, is making a several quick decisions to not only keep his job but also get Nintendo back on its feet. After taking a 50% pay cut (Mr. Iwata purportedly already makes a comparatively modest $1.5 million with a yearly bonuses roughly doubling that amount), Iwata has since indicated to the Nikkei newspaper that Nintendo may be pursuing acquisitions and mergers in the near future.
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 🤷♂️
no
Not at all, they need to make the console successful and demonstrate there is a market for third-party content to feature on it.
Nintendo should build a better relationship with 3rd party studios.
Interesting article, I say if Nintendo could acquire key strategic Studios that fill the gaps between Nintendo's own games while diversifying NT's games library particularly in the action shooters department so NT can become closer to being self-sufficient with its own multifaceted ecosystem (after all they are the most prolific developer/publisher with a huge number of games produced yearly on two platforms), then why not especially if NT can elevate the acquired studios to Nintendo-level product quality and polish. I believe this might be more interesting for us gamers than NT trying to be another copy of sony and ms and simply add yet another copy of multiplat games.
I would also advise Nintendo to proceed toward "Fusing" the console and handheld platforms in their next generation offering, because it's nigh impossible to maintain two platforms in the market with considerable success (without even 3rd party support in NT's case!), as history taught us many companies outside of Nintendo could not maintain home console plus handheld without failure, even a mega giant like M$ couldn't afford to enter the handheld market. So in my opinion, instead of spreading themselves thin on two platforms with no help from 3rd parties, "Fusion" makes sense.
That would be stupid.
