VGTribune: Over the weekend, an editor here at VG Tribune posted a scan of the most recent issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine listing “March 11 2011″ as the 3DS’ launch date. As word spread, it came to our attention that not one magazine purchased by other readers of the Official Nintendo Magazine corroborated our editor’s article and the legitimacy of the scan was placed under question.

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.
I'm glad that the news is finally cleared up!
Same here....
glad its cleared up
Too bad cuz I was reeeeeeally looking forward to that date, friend's birthday = good reason to buy two!
Makes me wonder if the issue ever did have a misprinting or did people just cause a stir for fun?
