CheatCC says "Nintendo’s attitude toward Youtubers that play their games has always been kind of abrasive. It has always been one of the most aggressive companies to take advantage of the Youtube content ID system, taking numerous videos and channels down with copyright claims. The company also made it so that any Let's Play video of a Nintendo game couldn’t make ad revenue for the video maker. Instead the revenue would go to the Big N and the Big N only. As a result, Youtube content creators have shied away from streaming and playing Nintendo games for review shows and Let’s Plays, for the fear of having their channel negatively impacted in some way… and that’s a whole lot of free advertisement that Nintendo is losing."

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.
