TecStories: Despite Nintendo being the most succesful console this generation, having outsold both the xbox 360 and ps3 by tens of millions, It's a bit suprising to hear that apart from Nintendo and a few other developers like Ubisoft, Third Party developers have seen little success.
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 🤷♂️
Spot on...
I think the reason is most 3rd party developer are having a difficult time keeping Nintendo wii fans happy is because there not aware that most casual gamers are becoming hardcore gamers one GEN after the Next. That said, causal gamers don't care much about the graphics in a game as-long as the play mechanics
and fun factor are appealing. On the other hand, a high percentage of hardcore gamers care about in game Graphic more than causal gamers;as well as good play mechanics/fun factor.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Nintendo is creating the Wii U.
As long as they keep churning out great titles, I'll get one.

Hey, are you having some issues on Ng4 website? I asked because every time I hit the reply button, it takes me to a different web page that comes up blank.
anyhow....
I agree Nintendo is pushing the same 3rd party multiplats
game for the Wii U. Although, I do believe there will be a huge difference between 360/PS3 vs Wii U in the frame-rate/graphical department.
Now having said that, I think by creating the same game between the three systems(wiiU/PS3/360)would make it a lot simpler for gamers to make graphical comparison. This, of course, is something that most gamers love to do when a new gaming console comes out.
The controller will hold it back IMO
