Will it simply settle for thinner and thinner slices of the gaming pie, or will it go the Sega route and begin licensing its proprietary games and characters on rival platforms? The former is a recipe for a slow-death casserole. The latter simply speeds up the process, but with a little more licensing revenue on the way out.

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.
Its called growing up and liking different games. But the core gamers still like them, because they see pass the graphics.
You cant call yourself core and hate Nintendo.
"Why Nintendo Will Never Be Great Again"
lol why dont you people get a life and do something else other than waste time playing games.
Nintendo has been in decline for a while, nows the time to not show off systems, but games. Nobody will rush to the store after what happened with the WIi, and I definitely won't line up to get a system when the only titles I know will be on the system are Zelda and Mario games.
I'd say its not just Nintendo but any Japanese company.. that place has gotten the short end in so many ways, between demographics, corporate culture, nuclear disasters, and the psychological armageddon of being eclipsed by China... Japan has reached the limit of their abilities.
