LAG - "The year of 2011 seemed to have its up and downs at times for Nintendo. They had their highs points with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS system and the 25th Anniversary of the Zelda Franchise and they also had their lows with some weak launch titles and slow start for the Nintendo 3DS as well. Even though it may not have been a dream year, Nintendo still did fairly well and now let us take a look at different parts of the year in more detail and highlight all of the great games and announcements Nintendo made along the way."
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's classic action-adventure game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is set to receive a fanmade port for the Sega Dreamcast.
Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.
