Do game betas hurt or help sales? Will Nintendo release a dual-slide pad 3DS? The Pach is back with fresh batch of questions and a clean shave in the Attack.
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.
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.
Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 🤷♂️
Pachter definitely needs a protege who actually plays these games.
Also Pachter, the new 3DS is already in the works. But you're right about the time frame. Two years.
The truth is that these days betas are used as marketing tool.... Unfornately yes it's true... the only real "betas" happen outside of the public knowledge... by private companys and such...
But still Blizzard/Valve says it's a beta then it's really a beta... Same goes for Red Ochestra developer's team.. more then 7gb updates since the beta.. now that's true developers
Developers told Nintendo to include an extra circle pad. And they chose to ignore them and now thet release an extra slide pad accessory plus the next model will have an extra pad. Nintendo really screwed up with the 3ds when it came to controls. Hopefully Nintendo will not make any more silly mistakes in the future.

I actually think hes wrong about Nintendo waiting 2 years for the new 3DS model.
Tokyo Game Show 2012, unveil the new model, cut the price of the existing model to clear out the remaining units and then ship the new 3DS holiday 2012.
Why wait 2 years? We all know its coming and they have real competition in the handheld space for probably the first time ever.
