Liam Robertson from Unseen64 has revealed on a recent podcast that he is under the impression that Retro Studios could be hard at work on an original IP that they proposed to Nintendo. We know that they finished work on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze back in late 2013 and have since been pitching projects to Nintendo. The new game was apparently green-lit by NCL in 2014.
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.
The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.
Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.
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.
That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.
It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.
A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.
People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers
Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.
I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.
The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷♂️
Well thats cool, I hope its not another side scroller. If Retro isnt working on a new Metroid then some other studio better be or some people at Nintendo need to get fired.
Awesome, Nintendo needs more Western-flavored IPs.
What a terrible idea, they would have to completely change the name of the company...
its to bad Retro will never take a real crack at the wii u, all we got was a 2d donkey kong that didnt push wii u but whatever there working on will be moved to NX soooo
As long as they leave Donkey Kong alone, I'm happy. The new ones can never compare to the original DKC trilogy (not even DKL, IMO). I wouldn't mind another Metroid from them, but honestly it's time for a return to 2D for Metroid and another company would be better suited for the job at this point for the sake of innovation.
A new IP sounds like it could work but really I'd rather them take another shot at bringing back old IP like they did with Donkey Kong Country (even though I didn't like it as much I can appreciate the effort).
I suggest giving them a shot at F-Zero or Earthbound (spin-off might work better), something that's been absent for a while, but maybe even better would be something more obscure like Hotel Dusk series. Heck, maybe one of Nintendo's Japanese exclusives like Yuyuki.
I think it's a waste to allow IP to rot. Looking at you, Capcom and Konami.
