As the Nintendo Wii enters it's fifth year on the market, rumors and whispers about the next Nintendo console are becoming more and more common. Nintendo's previous game consoles have typically had 5 years on
the market before the successor has been released, but does that necessary mean that the follow up to the Wii will be unleashed on the public in 2011?

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.
nnnno... :)
I would like the Wii 2 to come out Holiday next year. Backwards compatible with Wii games, HD graphics, improved online setup, no friend codes, some sort of achievement system, a Harddrive, optical sound out (which the original PS2 has), and all games to have classic control and wii mote support.
If the Wii 2 does these things It will cater to both the hardcore and casual crowds in a equal capacity.
New hardware is overrated. If possible I would prefer to put off for as long as possible having to shell out several hundred dollars to have the opportunity to play a bunch of underwhelming games, as all launch and first-year titles invariably are and invariably will be.
