"Recently, Retro Studios has been hiring on a pretty frequent basis. After releasing Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze in February, the studio has been completely silent on any of the other projects it has been working on. Retro continues to hire more personnel, however, including four new positions just this week" -- Nintendo Enthusiast.

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.
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.
Great news! I cant wait to see Retro's next game....
A spiritual successor to DK64 would please me greatly, since 3D platforms have been scarce lately.
Failing that, a continuation of the Metroid series from where Prime 3 left off would be ideal; I want to see all that speculation, regarding the mysterious ship at the end of the credits, finally put to rest.
I'd love to work for them! Retro is my favorite Nintendo team.
They know how to make good games, they are from Texas.
Maybe they'll make Cranky Kong Returns.
