Nintendo has and will always be for gamers that are kids at heart. Every game is filled with bright colors, silly characters, and an easy to follow story line. Be it Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, or Super Smash Bros., you’re guaranteed to have fun and laugh while playing an all-around well-made and enjoyable game.
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 🤷♂️
They still deserve some criticism though. But I agree its pretty dumb to hate on the little system the way that some people do.
I used to bash the 3DS early in its life. Last November I bought myself a 2DS and I enjoy it a lot.
Do people really hate the WiiU? It seems to me that people are just indifferent
I like and own the system, though I've only played a handful of games on it so far. The gamepad has a potential that just simply isn't being utilized. It's being used as a gimmick rather a true piece of new technology. The fact that so many developers exist in this industry and that so few of them have the imagination to utilize the gamepad in extraordinary ways is a depressing situation to me. I'm not even in the industry, and I've thought of many ways to use the gamepad to ensure that the Wii U goes down in history as a technological accomplishment.
In the end, since the system does not have the innards to make some asshole's shirt look like a rain-soaked wet dream in a hardware-demanding thunderstorm, the Wii U will likely end up being a footnote in gaming history rather than the game-changer it should be.
But the system is still young, so I probably shouldn't be so negative. I have no regrets purchasing it thus far. Here's hoping that a couple of forward-thinking developers look at what the system and the gamepad combined are capable of and say, "What the hell, let's revolutionize gaming again. That hasn't been done in a while."
Despite my highly anti-WiiU comment history, I ended up getting a wii u for the family this christmas. XBox One was never in the running, and I really tried to want a PS4. Even though I had made the decision before I left my house, I stood in front of the PS4 games rack, trying to make myself choose PS4, but there just wasn't a single thing there that made me want one. The only game that could have turned the tide was LBP3 if it turned out to get good reviews, but alas, it didn't, and I couldn't find a single already released game I was excited about.
Wii U has the most high scoring titles on Metacritic, and on the rack I was excited to see Smash Bros, and Super Mario 3d World, and Mario Kart, and WindWaker HD. So despite still believing that the hardware itself is a bit of a ripoff pricewise (cost is too close to the far more powerful PS4), it was the only current gen console I felt like owning at the moment.
If at least a few of Uncharted, Silent Hill, Metal Gear, Final Fantasty 15, and Tomorrow Children end up being good, those are all games that might warm me up to getting a PS4, but in the meantime it feels like there's literally nothing worth playing on PS4, aside from stuff to keep you busy if you already bought one.
So yeah, I really hope Nintendo makes some more respectable or less expensive hardware next go around (it seems like all the developers and players are already bored of the ipad controller, even though it's still driving up the price), but in the meantime, I trust Nintendo will continue to pump out classics this entire gen. Also, counter-intuitively, some of the best looking games are on Wii U. It's true Wii U can't handle the same games as the other consoles, and more detailed games like Bayonetta and Xenoblade X show the consoles limits and compromises, but cartoony games like Mario Kart and Captain Toad look damn beautiful.
If the Wii U was as powerful as PS4 and Xbox One, had third party support and titles that made third party titles stand out on the system then things would be very different.
