"However, if they make it so that the TV and the small screen show the same thing... Then it could just be the gateway to cloud gaming and being able to play games requiring powerful machines on a portable device. This basically means the game is played on the console at home, but the game is shown on the small screen".....Sounds like a good idea and innovative enough for Nintendo but not so close to the 3DS launch. Just destroys that machine. I think it is going to be like the 3/DS touch screen and used in that way but who knows until E3

Sano645509d ago

I still dont buy that Nintendo would put a screen in its controler. That would ramp up costs much higher then Nintendo has liked in the past. This might have been a prototype but I doubt it made it any further

sirgames5510d ago

yeap if it really turns out that way, it could just mean the downfall of 3DS, and Nintendo contradicting its own devices xD

iamnsuperman5510d ago

That what makes me think its bull....Nintendo are not stupid to bring out two contradicting devices so close to each other. Unless we hear about it this year and then is not release to Christmas next year....What the rumours are saying doesn't make business sense especially with the reveal at E3 which would completely kill any publicity for their 3DS. Its like Sony releasing a PS4 when they have the NGP on the way

kookie5509d ago

Nintendo announced 3ds at e3 2010.
time will tell.

Non_sequitur5509d ago

I'm guessing that the wii 2 will be a Wii with media enhancements like the PSX.

Vandamme215509d ago

I hope it has a better controller or I'm not buying it.

sirgames5509d ago

honestly, it's not all about the controller, because if it continues using the current controller, I would already find it sufficient (:

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

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.

PRIMORDUS48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

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.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi73d ago

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.

AuraAbjure73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer74d ago

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.

-Foxtrot74d ago

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

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

Inverno74d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay74d ago

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.

Inverno72d ago

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.

Killer2020UK73d ago

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 🤷‍♂️
