Kirby may not have been at the forefront of gaming consciousness over the past few years, but he’s definitely persisted, starring in several handheld adventures. He’s somewhat known for being Nintendo’s guinea pig when it comes to new gameplay styles – he’s starred in many a puzzle, pinball and racing game, and his exploits on the DS (including the upcoming Mass Attack) have implemented touchscreen functionality quite well – but his newest adventure, Return to Dreamland, brings the series back to where it began, and where it belongs.

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.
This how a Kirby game should be. Not hating on Epic Yarn, don't get me wrong but it didn't feel like a Kirby game.
