"For a long time, many of us Wii owners dreaded that three big JRPG’s would not be coming over to the US. Nintendo had remained dead set on insisting that they had no plans to release them, but last week Nintendo officially announced Xenoblade Chronicles as a game that would be sold in the US and so it would appear that the Wii is not as dead as we thought after The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The question remaining now is why would Nintendo, after never even giving us so much as a maybe, suddenly throw us hardcore gamers a bone?"
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.
Xenoblade Chronicles series composer Manami Kiyota has possibly finished the final orchestra recording for the next Monolith Soft title.
Makes sense. It's been nearly 3 years since the DLC for 3 came out. The next Xenoblade or whatever they end up calling it will probably come out next year.
We're getting Xenoblade?
Really?
I... I don't believe it.
