rustyshell: Nintendo's GameCube controller has become relevant again (for a third time) after 12 or so years on the market. That's a pretty great testament to the impeccable design and function of the best controller ever made.
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 🤷♂️
Or just Nintendo's ability to make a proper controller. With a direct and objective comparison the DS, DS2, DS3, DS4, X1, 360 controllers are all better than the Gamecube controller overall. And I'd rather use the WiiU pro controller over the gamecube controller.
The controller just draws a lot fanfare because the triggers are "cool" and the face buttons have certain nice look appeal.
Super Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime felt incredible with that controller. Haters will hate, but any real gamer knows the Cube controller was and STILL is on point.
The GameCube controller is definitely one of my favourites. It's almost perfect.
The only thing I would change is the C-Stick to make it a little more FPS friendly.
Can't wait to get the adapter so I can use my old controllers on the Wii U.
Best. Controller. Ever.
Feels like a glove in hand.
I didn't like the dpad and the c-stick. Sure you'll get used to it but meh.
The perfect controller would be a combo of Saturn's 3D pad and Dreamcast controller with Xbox analog sticks and layout. I guess if the 360 controller had a Sega dpad from from the Genesis /mega drive 6 button controller or Sega Saturn 3d pad dpad,both are made specifically for fighters, that would be it. I also don't know why they can't put alternate L and R triggers on the face so I can have my 6 button face layout. Doing difficult moves with triggers add to the frustration. Most people probably remap the fierce punch and kicks (street fighter example) to face buttons but that robs you of strategic weaker moves like slow fireballs or low dragon punches. Oh, and then try to hit all three kick buttons for a Super attack. Forget about it. Saturn/Genesis I never had to get used to anything. The response was perfection.
If you're not a big fan of fighters though the controllers out now are passable. I use a Sega pad USB for the bulk of my retro gaming.
