"Earlier this week, Nintendo announced that they wouldn’t be attending this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. This is the second year in a row that they’ve done this and it got me thinking about the Expo’s importance. Nintendo will now save money and better control their message with videos directed to their fans. Should the other companies follow suit or is E3 something that is still vital for them and the gaming industry as a whole?
We also discuss games that are universally praised but we weren’t exactly keen on and also discuss the future of Star Wars games and the franchise now that most of the stories of the expanded universe have been made non-canon."
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
The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.
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 🤷♂️
What?
What kind of ridiculous question is that?
OF COURSE it's still relevant!
Just because the announcements for the games and systems are done differently sometimes, doesn't mean that the E3 show floor isn't booked for demos and advertisement galore by all the big names!
And if nothing else, the very concept of E3 itself, is an anchor for the industry.
When you hear E3, you think, "This is that time of year! This is when we KNOW the big names in gaming are going to be revealing their next exciting ideas for us to enjoy!"
It sets a solid place and time for these big-wigs of gaming to play their cards and give their fans something to smile about.
How could that possibly be irrelevant just because Nintendo has started to do it differently?
I'll tell all of you the truth of this, right here and now;
Even if ALL THREE of the big 3, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, decided to fore-go press conferences and stick to streaming their announcements, E3 WOULD STILL BE RELEVANT TO GAMERS AND COMPANIES ALIKE.
The show floor would still have their wares for the press to browse and try out, and the name of E3 would still be indicative of that one special time of year.
The time when gamers gather to hear about the future of the hobby they love.
with or without ninty yes.
next...
If ur a wiiU only gamer then no. And that's a sad thing.
Dat uncharted gameplay, witcher 3 and maybe star wars gameplay & when Cyberpunk 2077 comes! Good to own a multi-plat supported console and have more than just a youtube video presentation to get excited about.
If you don't care about any of that and only want mario kart 8 in the near future then your in good luck as a wiiU gamer!
If your not talking about ninty then the question in the title a irrelevant.
of course e3 is relevant... nintendo is making a big mistake here
For the last two years someone has written an article like this because NINTENDO of all people aren't holding a press conference. The article should be titled is Nintendo still relavent.E3 is once again the biggest event in gaming all year just as it was before the 2000 slim down. Just because Nintendo has chosen (wrongly I believe) to not show case their stuff against the competition and instead choose to play at home doesn't mean E3 is any less relavent.
I get hyped every year for it so it must be. Last year was the best on years.
