Gametropolis writer Lee Hobbs looks at how the 3DS launch compares to other console launches, and whether the issues surrounding Nintendo's new handheld are totally unique to the system.

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.
It wasn't a disaster, but I'm sure it wasn't what Nintendo was expecting. I think next time they want to release a new console / handheld, they should make sure to have several AAA titles either launching along side with it or a month after launch at least. The 3DS seems as if it was rushed.
I think Nintendo has learned their lesson about not having games for a new handheld or console.
It'll pick up almost assuredly. I mean PS3 only had resistance to play on it for the longest time after launch and look at it now.
no it really hasnt but there are haters...considering its price, online was lacking, and games...its launch was good...even ds started off slow.....and mostly all 3ds issues are solved and its less then 6 months old..
