Nintendo's new 3D-enabled portable could potentially "steal the show" at E3 next week, according to analyst Michael Pachter, and it seems like the device has a fan in EA Chief Executive John Riccitiello as well. Speaking to IndustryGamers as part of a massive pre-E3 interview, the EA boss commented, "I will tell you, I’ve seen it; it’s cool."
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.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.
Umm, if EA has seen it/got it then lots of other people must because EA and Nintendo have never been close.
When I saw it I said "wow!"
