"After a spectacular showing at E3 this year, 3DS’ launch is shaping up to be a huge one. Everyone was expecting it to see the daylight before Christmas. However in a Nintendo-don’t-stick-with-trad ition fashion, at a conference last month they announced that 3DS will not be launched until February 2011. The reason behind this was to have sufficient units available at launch and this could not be achieved if they launch before the holiday season this year. They estimated that 3DS can ship around 4 million units in one month worldwide. Whether this is wishful thinking still waits to be seen."
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 🤷♂️
Its called nintendo wins
I really like playing nes roms on my ds, wish i could find a real copy of smb 2 that worked in nesds as i recently discovered that the game i thought was the second was a lie! Would be really cool that if you purchased classics on the 3ds you could modify the depth of the sprite layers and create som basic 3d:)
first off you can tell from this guys tone that he doen't really like 3ds and wants it to lose to psp2.he sounds like a hardcore gamer cause he knows how powerful the not officially announced psp2 will be!and he complains about the 3ds price and doesn't mention psp2 being probably more powerful than 3ds and having cool new features that it will probably be priced around 3ds or cost more than it.and if he would do a little research nintendo always lowers the price of there hardware for america and people thinks going to cost $250 dollars making it expensive but more reasonable for what it does.and when wii launched in japan it was the same price as 3ds is launching with and it didn't come with wii sports so we got a way better deal here.and he says systems with a good lineup of games sells well and 3ds has the best launch lineup for a nintendo system and it's got great features to justify it's high price. so lets give 3ds a psp2 a chance to launch before we get down them for a nice change!
Don't people get the concept that home consoles are home consoles and handhelds are handhelds...its like people getting chocolate in my peanut butter sure it may be good but is gonna cost more and I for one am not looking for a $400+ price tag for a handheld system that has wii/ps3/360 graphics.... not to mention the 3ds is crazy powerful for a portible and I am sure the psp2 will be nice as well but nintendo has owned the market for years....
Sony would need to get a jump over them and release a handheld before nintendo to take some of its market away like the 360 did to the wii and ps3....
handhelds are ment to be cheap and fun I loved having a ds and playing castlevania or a psp and playing portible ops and gta liberty city storys and vice city storys
