Nintendo knows what they're doing!

Cratos87805723d ago

3DS will be a flop like the Wii.

KratosGirI5723d ago

A sign of hostility. Brilliant!

DNAbro5723d ago

Flop like the wii? have you seen the sales of the wii? i bet the 3ds will do even better than it with killer 1st and 3rd party support.

John007guy5723d ago

If Big N makes these same good moves with Wii 2 or whatever they can't go down.

JIronMan5723d ago

I just hope that Paul Gale's interpretation on Satoru Iwata's price reasoning for 3DS games is on target with what they'll actually sell for. I'm ok with paying that but anything more.....I don't know. Then again if the game is amazing it doesn't matter portable or not. Quality gaming is worth spending more for.

AzadFujishima5723d ago

If the majority of games retail for around $40 as the msrp with upper tier titles costing $45 and collector's editions of those games being $55 I'd be ok with that. Prolly you'll see "average games" go for $30. We'll see what happens in a few months.

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.

PRIMORDUS61d ago (Edited 61d 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.

0hMyGandhi86d 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.

AuraAbjure86d ago (Edited 86d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer87d 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.

-Foxtrot87d 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_Box86d ago (Edited 86d 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

Inverno87d ago

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

Eonjay87d 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.

Inverno85d 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.

Killer2020UK85d 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 🤷‍♂️
