Dan, Joe and their special guest Micky, talk about Nintendo's Confrence. Was it really as bad as what people are making it seem? Is StarFox doomed?

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.
It was definitely NOT one of their best performances.
Federation Force left a very bad taste in the mouths of many fans that have been CRAVING a new Metroid game to follow up on Prime 4, and their lack of focus on games like Fatal Frame and Devil's Third was another blow to the overall mood of the conference.
Had they not introduced Federation Force as an entry in the Prime universe, the backlash wouldn't have been nearly as bad as it was.
They really underestimated how much fans want Prime 4.XD
Now that the shock has worn off and the trolls have had their chance to romp in the rain for a couple of days, while spreading doom&gloom articles, tempers and more even-keeled articles, which give fair credit to games like Star Fox Zero and M&L Paper Jam, have started to appear.
It doesn't erase the failures, but it's slowly dawning on people that there were still a few great titles, both known and new, worth paying attention to in that Direct.
After the rain comes the sunshine, as they say.
