Nintendo Europe’s latest advertisement for the Nintendo 3DS highlights the fact that you can play Nintendo DS games in 2D and that you turn off the 3D whilst playing Nintendo 3DS games. Whether this is evidence that Nintendo are moving away from highlighting the 3D functionality of the machine remains to be seen.

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.
LOLOL Irony strikes again...Oh Nintendo
I wouldn't be surprised if they had to add that because too many people were confused as to whether or not they could play the 3DS in 2D. Whenever I walked into EB Games, sometimes I'd see someone asking if the 3DS could show things in 2D.
What the hell is the point of 3DS??
This just proves that 3DS is a gimmick version of DS.
There's a lot of confusion about the 3DS.
The fact that the 3D is optional could sell it to people who don't like 3D.
Perhaps this is what the rumor about the "less focus on 3D" really meant.
I couldn't care in the slightest about the 3D, just want more games.
