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.
Some of that is a little harsh.
Stock tends to drop when a new console is announced. This isn't exclusive to the Nintendo Wii U, it's just a fact of business.
Yet with all these "mistakes" when the wii U comes out it will sell like crazy. i for one will not buy one but for some reason people are stupid enough to just buy things regardless of what it is.
we have a lot of people with crystal balls on N4G.
many said the 3ds would dominate all, but look how that went.
Best to wait and see what happens or what is announced OR what is shown between NOW and the release of the Wii U.
That friend codes thing is only true for the 3DS. wiiu they got rid of them.
...While I enjoy my Wii and DS and the games for each console, I can't think of a single thing Nintendo has done where I've thought, "Gee, that was a really good idea."
Oddly enough, I can think of dozens of instances where I've thought, "Gee, Nintendo is really fucking stupid" in the last week alone.
If I could play Zelda on my PS3, I'd be done with them forever.
