Nintendo needs a Pokemon MMO, now. It is poised for the comeback of the century with Mario Kart 8 reportedly pushing over 207,000 Wii U consoles since its release, enough to outsell the Xbox One. This is a roughly 400 percent increase in sales and enough to prepare for the killing blow.
They are on one of the largest sales inclines we have seen in years and with one simple move could not only keep the growth going, but leave the competition in its wake.
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 🤷♂️
This is an MMO I would actually pay a monthly fee for.
If done right, it would kill any future handheld prospects Nintendo might have. There are other games that sell the 3DS but I think those games would be a harder sell if Pokemon (a superior version as well) is on their console and not their handheld. I believe this is the reason why Nintendo haven't made such a move yet.
I want metroid prime
Even a single player game would do it for me. Have all the previous regions, all 750 or so Pokemon including all legendaries, all gyms from all regions and all elite 4s in one massive Pokemon game. I would rush out to buy the system.
Could be cool, but Nintendo is probably spread thin trying to manage selling and supporting a console on 1st party titles alone. An MMO takes a long time to make, not to mention that Nintendo is still very new/bad at online stuff in general (according to themselves)
