Online features discussed, no DVD playback, Activision gives praise.

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 have a DVD player for a reason, it's a GAMING console I want it to play GAMES.
I already have like 5 dvd players from systems. I dont need another
I don't even own a blu-ray or dvd. Used to have some but sold them. Netflix suffices just fine. And everyone should have seen this coming. Nintendo always uses some proprietary format to avoid licensing fees.
the wii u could be the halt of nintendo's success this gen.. it seems like they will have fallen behind to much.. as a casual machine this could be great, but in terms of nintendo trying to compete with sony/microsoft it will look bad on their part..
I mean sony have a blu-ray/dvd/cd machine with the muscle of PSN too back it up for a price that will be cheaper than wii U. add all the unique games comming out like last guardian & uncharted 3 too that..
I think nintendo could be in trouble with this machine.. the controller has single touch display.. that's out dated already and the online dosnt sound promising...
online streaming and downloading legal or not is the way forward and yes there is a DVD in everything so I dont need another.
in my bedroom alone I 4 things that play dvd. PS3, 360, MAC, Sony surround system. Nintendo I believe are learning to listen to people whilst sticking to what they know so that's all good. if they listen to people to much every console would only evolve with just power and nothing else which is why I love this company. Sometimes they get it right and at times wrong so they need to find that balance. Not sure why people are always on sonys dick but hay.
