The Game Developer's Conference has never really been known as a place for publishers to announce new titles like E3 is, but in recent years, Nintendo has done just that. In 2005 Nintendo showed off the first "story" trailer for Twilight Princess along with making a mention of Nintendo's next home console, known as the "Revolution" at that point in time. At GDC 2009 Nintendo announced a new Zelda game (Spirit Tracks), a solution to the Wii's storage woes, and the Virtual Console Arcade. Those announcements, among others in different years, were all made during a keynote speech by Satoru Iwata. This year, at GDC 2011, Satoru Iwata will once again be presenting a main keynote speech, and if history is anything to go by, we can expect some sort of big announcement or surprise from Nintendo on March 2, 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.
I'm hoping so :).
Wii 2 hint.
You heard it hear first lol.
xenoblade is already confirmed for a localization
the only if is when
They have secured the rights to a remade version of FF6.
But in all seriousness maybe they will announce they are going to localize The Last Story prehaps? Not really a GDC thing but i can hope right?
