gamrReview's Stephen C Barrett: "How Nintendo go about it is anyone’s guess, but when you take everything into consideration it would appear that the company's next handheld may offer more than just games in order to broaden its appeal, possibly even abandoning the clamshell design in favor of a single-screen unit. Nintendo’s next portable will likely be tightly integrated with its next home console, with some even speculating that it may actually fill that role itself. In any case, it’s clear that Nintendo is well aware of how the portable market - their strongest area - has changed over the years. Let’s just hope that they are able to adapt accordingly while continuing to provide the full, satisfying portable gaming machines and experiences they always have."
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 🤷♂️
It is going to need buttons. If it is a pure tablet without buttons I will pass.
It will be too expensive. The problem is the thing needs to game and needs to do tablet stuff well. Even if it does the tablet functionality aswell as the low range tablets (£100) the gaming side will shoot up the price beyond being competitive for those devices and more in the price league of more mid to high end tablets (which tablet functionality wise cannot compete with)
I predict the next handheld from Nintendo will be even cheaper at launch than we got this generation. Both Sony and Nintendo over priced their systems (hence extremely low sales at launch). They need to be cheap enough that people get them along side tablets and work with home consoles (ala remote play type of thing)
Ok Nintendo here it goes; Keep the clamshell and drop this tablet nonsense. Tethering a Tablet to your console is a daft move and does not need to be repeated. I love the WiiU, but it has had an identity crisis from the start.
