Nintendo: Everything Old is New Again

Greg A. of iNintendo.net writes, "E3 has left all of us, the Nintendo crowd, with great feelings of joy. To be sure, Nintendo has been on a downward slope for some time – one needs only to look at the sales of the 3DS – but has now come back with a vengeance, so I think it's time for a little dose of reality. For my own part, the news of an HD console did not make me stand up and cheer; neither did the new controller. Don't get me wrong, I thought the debut video of the Wii U was pretty slick and I'm looking forward to all the cool things that developers will be able to do with it. Still, what excited me most was seeing Arkham City as an announced game for the Wii U. Finally, I thought, all the types of games that I've never gotten to play will soon be mine. Despite all my fan-boy qualities and the love I carry for Mario, Zelda, MarioKart and other Nintendo franchises, the best thing I have to look forward to with Nintendo's new console doesn't really have anything to do with Nintendo."

"Everything Old is New Again"

They can say that every gen. Rehash...rehash..

V0LT5466d ago

Exactly. That is all Nintendo knows how to do.

I'll use Mario as a reference of an abused mascot.

Spenok5465d ago

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.

PRIMORDUS64d ago (Edited 64d 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.

0hMyGandhi89d 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.

AuraAbjure89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer90d 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.

-Foxtrot90d 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_Box89d ago (Edited 89d 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

Inverno90d ago

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

Eonjay90d 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.

Inverno88d 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.

Killer2020UK89d 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 🤷‍♂️
