Could be the reason behind no official specs and price released. They need to sort this soon otherwise there launch titles could be a lot worse than the average launch title. If the report does turn out to be true it could be quite damaging to Nintendo

"Could this be the reason behind no official specs and price released"

Perhaps, but in all fairness, i dont remember Nintendo ever revealing an upcoming console's specs 6 mos. to 1 year before launch. They usually dont release specs at all, and we have to find out at launch.

But, what you say is true. Nintendo and first party developers could clear up a lot of this confusion. We've heard 3rd party developer's early praise of the WiiU. But we also have rumors like this... who knows?

Nintendo knows what to show/say, and what not to show/say, to keep the buzz alive.

Gamecube, n64, nes, and snes says your wrong.

matey5401d ago

its false very false get a grip N4G if u beleive this ur a tit

mike1up5401d ago (Edited 5401d ago )

I read this rumor 2 days ago. Yes, you pretty much have to assume that it is false. It contradicts everything that 3rd party developers have said about the WiiU.

I guess we'll know the truth soon enough.

Stealth2k5401d ago

False rumor not even worth speculating on

This barrage of rumours is ridiculous. It is absolutely breaking through to mainstream media, and its surely affecting the stock price, but is NONE of it actually true?

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.

PRIMORDUS66d ago (Edited 66d 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.

0hMyGandhi91d 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.

AuraAbjure91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer92d 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.

-Foxtrot92d 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_Box91d ago (Edited 91d 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

Inverno92d ago

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

Eonjay92d 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.

Inverno90d 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.

Killer2020UK90d 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 🤷‍♂️
