Itagaki, the producer of Devil's Third, gave an answer to how and why Nintendo has become a publisher for his game and hinting at big advancements in Devil's Third especially graphic and animation wise.

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.
"we’ve made major improvements in every area, from graphics to animations to playability." I'm glad they're improving these aspects, the gameplay looked great but it was a little rough, so it's good they're focusing on the weaker things to make a better experience
As it should be...you know like what ALL games do
No one is talking about the multiplayer. That is going to surprise folks.
Must buy game for 2015.
I was talking to Itagaki the other day about this. Very excited indeed.
