Akia from Nintendo Enthusiast talks about his experience with the Splatoon Global Testfire demo:
"The Splatoon Global Testfire was a small, yet really enjoyable appetizer for the colorful main course that we’ll be able to dive into in a few short weeks. Nintendo has a really fun, well put together game here. Congratulations: you just got yourselves a guaranteed sale."

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.
The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.
I wonder what will change come day 1? I like the theory of this game becoming competitive. Wondering how realistic it is considering the crowded realm of already popular fps games
