Imagine a Wii with powerful hardware, a ton of unique technological features, and a fresh new look at multiplayer gaming. Many of our readers will think on the recent rumors of a Wii 2 and smile. However, we think back to the N64 and the Gamecube: powerful gaming systems that alienated and killed off much of Nintendo’s fanbase. We’re worried about a Nintendo system that focuses on powerful hardware instead of compelling software. Would a "hardcore" Wii 2 recapture the hardcore audience and 3rd-party developers, or would Nintendo be stepping on a landmine?
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 🤷♂️
The terms "hardcore" and "Nintendo" haven't gone together in a long time. I don't see that changing given how much they have pulled in from the casual market. I used to be a huge Nintendo fan but somewhat gave up on them a while back and more specifically when the ps1 came out.
it need to be hardcore
If this new Ninty system isn't hardcore, I refuse to buy it. I supported the Wii but the system was really a let down and I think Nintendo needs to get with the times now. I hope they really do something different with Proj Cafe.
"Hardcore" and "Wii" don't even look like they belong together in the title
In my opinion I think that Nintendo wants a more powerful console for third party's to port their "hardcore" multiplats like Call of Duty. That way Nintendo can focus in doing their own thing (like always) without people criticizing them that they abandoned the so called "hardcore" audience. So if a game like FFvsXIII turns out multiplat then it'll be ported to the Wii2 too and that's one hardcore game in their pocket without moving a finger while at the same time they'll keep both crowds (HC & Casual) happy.
