Now more than ever Nintendo needs to focus on not only pulling in third party support, but revamping the Nintendo universe with new IP. Nintendo Love Affair contributor Matt Hauenstein discusses why things need to change.
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 🤷♂️
It isn't necessary. Nintendo needs to focus on 3rd party exclusives. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if they purchased Capcom. That would be an industry changer for them. Hardcore gamers would switch ASAP in my opinion.
New IP isn't Nintendo's answer to everything. Even with Splatoon boosting Wii U sales, it eventually fell back to weekly hardware sales lower than even the Vita.
Even many of Nintendo's longrunning franchises such as Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Super Smash Bros, have only provided a small bump in sales when they released, only for sales to go back to subpar afterwards.
NX could have the same thing happen to it.
It really does boil down to games, whether old or new, third party or first, Nintendo needs games.
I would like to think the well has run dry on the Wii U because it was pronounced dead internally before Christmas 2015. Everything they have done has only served to squeeze every penny possible from the system. They are hedging their bets on the NX, saving games for a stellar launch lineup.
That's what I am hoping anyways.
Fire Reggie, make technology more in line with everything else AT THAT TIME, implement current technology trends in your console, overhaul your network infrastructure, attract 3rd party devs. (fire everyone in your company and higher half western and half Japanese devs/managers/people who have worked in the industry external of Nintendo).
New Ip are cool, old ip are cool.
Who cares. Stupid article, even dumber commenters
