VGLoaded's James Chalmers asks Who Needs A 3DS especially when the DSi has so much to offer?
From the article -
"So who really needs a 3DS when there are so many quality titles in the DSi library? 3D Gaming isn’t a gimmick it will in the future be a huge part of how we play our games but the thing people seem to forget is that the Nintendo DS is loved and adopted by the casual market; hell my 50 year old mother has a DSi XL! While news this week that the 3DS has sold more in release week than the original DS it wasn’t until the introduction of the likes of Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training that the casual market exploded."
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 🤷♂️
I know exactly what you mean, I've had a DSLite since it came out and havent been sold by the 3DS to spend that much money $249 on a new console when the only game that has caught my attention was SSFIV.
People are acting as if the 3DS selling more AT LAUNCH than the DS or Wii is an indication that the 3DS will be more popular. Pu-leeeeze.
@Jio that is true, I'm sure Nintendo will slowly faze out development for the DS but with so many casual gamers using the DS at the moment I think they won't completely abandon it straight away.
That is unless they bring out a new Brain Training or big casual title like that for the 3DS.
I picked up the 3DS at launch, and because TrU had the buy 1 get 1 50% off, I picked up SF4, RR3D, Steel Diver and Pilotwings. Ridge Racer does impress in 3D, yeah its pretty much a greatest hits with all the tracks from every RR but it's still fun and looks good. Steel Diver also impressed, the 3D depth underwater and variety keeps you playing, SF is SF for sure, I had high hopes for Pilotwings but must say I'm a bit disappointed and I REALLY loved the N64 game. Anybody have an opinion on Ghost Recon? I was looking at it, but it didn't look visually impressive and looks like turn based strategy...
No one needs a 3DS.
Same thing with a NGP, 360, PS3, and PC.
They are not needed for basic survival. Just make life more fun and easier (PC) on us.
