Nintendo is ramping up to release one of their most anticipated systems to date: The 3DS. There’s all sorts of nifty features and new technology that make any video gamer drool when they think about the upcoming handheld. If one looks past that initial excitement and into the distance, though, dark clouds are visible on the horizon. And they look a lot like the storm that overtook the Nintendo 64.
Of course, the storm that overtook Nintendo’s third home console was the Sony Playstation. The real reason the SS 64 capsized, however, was their inability to adapt to a shifty new enemy. A plethora of elements conspired to bring them down and push them under. And while the clouds are there for the 3DS, they aren’t from the same source. Nintendo’s “enemy of the future” is at the gates: Nintendo Vs. Apple has only just begun.

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.
bullcrap.. :)
Nintendo = Never lost a handheld war....EVER! :)
Apple can go jump in a pie....lol. :)
it goes like this
Gameboy=NES
GBA=SNES
DS=N64
3DS= GCN
and no, its not gonna lose. the 3DS slim will fix its battery misteps.
Sorry but nintendo has been the handheld king forever and if you hadnt noticed the ds has sold more than any system in history ever has.
"3-5" hours is with wifi on, 3d on at max, volume on at max
Otherwise you get probably as much time from 3ds games that you do ds games.
So I would say this person needs to go away
3DS = Wii
I hope so.
