gamrReview's Daniel Carreras: "This new 3DS announcement, whilst potentially very lucrative from a business standpoint in short term, may serve to confuse and possibly alienate some customers in the long term, especially if developers quickly jump ship to this new, more powerful platform, and if Nintendo themselves fail to be clear in their marketing. If that happens then the new 3DS may prove to be a great way to shift more hardware, but a poor way of maintaining the dedicated handheld market."

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.
What challenges? Like keeping the thing in stock after it sells out?
I like the LL a lot, and I will have to see the normal NEW 3DS, but I leaning towards buying the normal NEW 3DS, instead of the XL (when it comes out, in the US though). I like it much more since the buttons are colored and the face plates interchangeable. Also, the screen is a little bigger, so it might look better now.
I got to thinking, about the name and all, could this be Nintendo's strategy when it comes to naming consoles form here in out? Imagine if their new console is called the "new Wii" hehe
