Develop-Online: Console specs still in flux, but sources say Nintendo now has ambitions for touch-screen multiplayer.

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.
I am so incredibly confused.
First I hear it can only support 1
Then I hear it can support multiple but you can only buy one
Then I hear you can buy separate controllers
Then I hear it only supports 1 again
Then I hear it supports multiple
And now I'm hearing they are developing support for 2
I don't know why they wouldn't be working on this. I'm sure they're trying to get it figured out just to make people happy and ensure a larger audience. Plus that way they can then make different colored tablet controllers and sell them separately.
The console will have to be powerful to do this. It will drive up the cost of the console. IMO nintendo can't launch this console for more than $400. That's the magic number.
i cant wait for the wii u. however i sort of think they did bad announcing it so early with so many undetermined details. a lot of people hear early specs and never get into their heads that things change. unfortunately i'm sure theres a lot of people that still think its just a new wii controller.
they should have unveiled it along side the other 2 companies at this years e3. then it wouldnt have seemed like old news by the time all 3 come out
It would be nice to bring one tablet to another persons house and have more connectivity options. Maybe 3DS compatibility in the future?
