Nintendo has long been criticised for its disregard of core gamers in the recent past, where the company’s efforts have instead been subsidised in focusing on their ever-expanding casual market. Core gamers wanted something to shout about again, and Nintendo duly delivered in the best possible fashion. Reggie Fils-Aime was welcomed to the 2010 E3 stage for the Nintendo press briefing and, briefly putting the memories of past E3 efforts behind him, was keen in immediately putting to rest core gamers’ desires, with the brilliant Shigeru Miyamoto magically appearing onto the stage, for the announcement that all Nintendo fans were waiting for- a return to the land of Hyrule in a brand new Zelda adventure.

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.
