With the announcement of Nintendo’s next-generation console in the bag, the Wii U system has been designed with the developer in mind in multiple ways. Creating an even more immersible experience, with touch controls, individual cameras, improved graphics, and a fairly traditional controls layout, Nintendo is moving to do everything right for developers.

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.
They also designed an expensive controller.
i think the main touchscreen control is sweet, but there will also be a traditional ps3 like controller available for core/regular games....heres hoping
ohhh
and make all games native 1080p with 4x anti aliasing
does hardware really have anything to do with whether a developer wants to support the system?
the wii is interesting, but what it comes down to for developers is which system is easiest to design for. this console probably will come to be the easiest, but saying that complex hardware is designed for developers is just stupid, if anything it makes their lives more difficult, and it expends their resources to something that isn't part of the core gaming experience.
How powerful is the thing though, as so far from what I've seen, it is actually looking less powerful than 360 & PS3.
It also needs a traditional controller, as a tablet type system for a controller would be pretty useless for most genres of games.
PS4 & 720 will end this thing....I mean it truly seems like Nintendo give us customers nothing but gimmicky features coupled with tech that is literally a generation behind, or not much better.
