In 2011, Nintendo posted their first ever net loss of $530 million and had continued a streak until this year. Nintendo used to be at the very top of the gaming industry. Other game console companies were intimidated by the giant and developers wanted their newest games on Nintendo consoles. So what happened?

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.
Another bash article...why am I not surprised...
Agree... and I'm done with Nintendo
Nintendo might try a third inferior system but if it doesn't do well they will either pull out of home consoles or step up with a real competitor. Hopefully NX just kicks ass though.
Fanboys are the worst. Criticism is necessary but fans won't allow it. It would help Nintendo reach their SNES glory days. Ever since Sony showed up they have been inferior but not because Sony is better, but because they started doing stupid s*** right at that time. N64 had carts, NGC had the mini discs and childish appearance plus no online, then Wii decided to really go off the deep end but they got lucky by striking a chord with casuals, and now we have Wii U, the weak system with a tablet.
NX can be good if they stick to the basics, no being weird, trying to compensate for features with gimmicks. At least have both.
Also, their handhelds are also gimmicky and weak. DS was two screens with a piss poor touch screen and 3DS has 3D but they're weak. Time to match your competition. 4DS needs a minimum of Vita's tech when it launches but preferably more. I get the feeling they'll just include a better screen and a new gimmick, though honestly.
