CheatCC says - "Something concerning game to light during the most recent Nintendo Direct. If you blinked, you might not even have noticed it. Unfortunately, it has to do with Amiibos, and confirms something people had suspected about the figures. Namely, that there isn't enough room on one for everything."
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.
A new amiibo has its release date from Nintendo, and pre-orders have started revealing the price and how it's the most expensive figure ever.
Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.
I wanted to love the Direct but Nintendo continues to do stupid crap left and right IMO
Amibos are a problem? Uhh OK, they're toys.
I have more than one. I am fine with it. I use the ones I have in Smash, Warriors, and MK 8. I'm good.
okay lol
