I just hope its an optional parental thing. I don't want to be playing a game on at a boss fight that took for ever cause he had like 3 stages or soemthing and it shuts off. I always fear that when i see my DS on red light and the power cable is somewhere

TheFaggot_5766d ago

It will probably be an optional feature.
Btw, it happens to me all the time! Whenever I'm stuck at this one level, and the battery indicator goes red, I can't decide whether to continue playing it, or just find a charger as quick as possible.

iPlayGamez5766d ago

dont worry read the entire article, its totally a parental control feature for spinless parents who cant control their kids

tunaks15766d ago

just a parental feature,
this is kinda on the wii, except on the wii it tells you to take a brake now and then.
Nothing new.

SpaceFox5766d ago

The title makes it sound like it's a technical issue. Just a parental control feature, a good idea in my opinion.

theonlylolking5766d ago

Ok Iwata you can stop talking now.

Darkstorn5766d ago

I think this is a fine idea.

silkrevolver5766d ago

... Good thing I’ve been better with technology than my parents since I was 4... I never had to actually get timed off. I’m sure kids will find a way around it... in other words, they’ll figure out the password somehow...

Or go to google and type "reset password on nintendo 3ds".

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

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.

PRIMORDUS45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

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.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi70d ago

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.

AuraAbjure69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer71d ago

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.

-Foxtrot70d ago

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

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

Inverno70d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay70d ago

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.

Inverno69d ago

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.

Killer2020UK69d ago

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 🤷‍♂️
