IT'S OVER

dumb phoneposter

Finally it will go 3rd party.

>>386880871
Nintendo has the best lawyers in the business, the people suing them better have some good lawyers or they're fucked.

Nonissue. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a half-baked motion control patent tried to sue Nintendo over technology used in the Wii and DS lines. Some even got payouts.

They're full of it. Nintendo's been making devices with designs like that before their product was ever on the scene. They don't have a leg to stand on here.

Those are literally all things that have been said over the course of 30 years, and /v/ continued the tradition with their shitposting threads.

Was actually taken from a Switch thread on /v/.

>>386880871
Oh look another patent troll that is going to settle out of court or get absolutely anally annihilated.

Nintendo will eat them for breakfast.

>>386882696
Unbelievable... Oh wait, it's /v/ after all

Probably a tie between anti and standard Nintendofags.

Now this is how i know you are delusional.
It didn't turn a profit at all for nintendo. It was a wasted investment.

>>386880871
It's a frivolous lawsuit at best. Nothing is going to happen

>>386882897
Wii U sales include Amiibo sales. Trust me, they turned a profit.

The people behind the Emoji movie are backing them.

Nintendo is dead.

>>386882897
They sold every console at a profit relative to cost. That, plus the Gamepad, is why the Wii U was so expensive compared to what it was actually capable of -- and why it remains so expensive even after the Switch's release.

>Don't sue when it's revealed
>Don't sue when it's launched
>Sue months after the fact that it's going on to be a big success
Nothing to see here, just a company trying to get some of Nintendo's dosh.

>>386880871
Didn't nintendo have the same thing happen to them with the Wii and they fucking won?

If the Switch wasn't making boatloads of money this lawsuit would not be around.

>>386883018
Oh shit, I didn't realize! Nintendo is truly over...

That picture is wrong. I quick eyedrop proved that A is noticeably more brown than B.

>>386883034
This, they'll probably end up settling. That's why they're being cuntish enough to ask for a ban on Switch sales.

>>386883420
that's the point.

>>386883018
So it's finally over.......

Sony won.....

>>386880871
is it a patent troll or legit

I aint reading nothing that aint on /v/

>>386883551
It's legit. We lost...

>>386883551
It is a product that they actually produced in 2013. But they don't have any reasonable grounds to claim that Nintendo's infringing on a concept that they own.

Nintendo should quit while they're ahead and just comply with their demand to stop selling the Switch. They can try again with a new console(one that's original this time).

It's better to do that and start again with a new system than it is to lose everything in a lawsuit.

>>386882897
And yet, Nintendo has not folded, as kuch as it wasn't a stellar console, the Wii U did not kill Nintendo (in fact you may have noticed they recently realeased some new games).

Switch only sold 7 million units in 5 months it's over

/v/ is supposed to be a board for videogames enthusiasts and hardcore gamers, and yet at any given time it is possible to see multiple threads about Nintendo, a company infamous in the sector for being the one that most widely caters to the taste of casual and occasional gamers.

Now, I don't see any threads on /tv/ about series like Modern Family or Grey's Anatomy, despite both being some of the most popular TV series airing, and that's because the userbase is mature enough to either not watch those programs clearly aimed at a completely different audience than the film enthusiasts who browse it, or to realize that discussing them is out of place in a site dedicated to enthusiasts of particular interests like 4chan is.

On the other hand, Nintendo threads plague /v/ constantly, and are some of the worst threads on the board in the matter of quality of posts. This, of course reflects the immature and non-internet-savy nature of the average Nintendo fan, which is not and could ever not be a videogames enthusiasts, so these threads pose an actual nuisance to the actual hardcore gamers that wished to discuss their hobby with likeminded individuals on /v/. They are also known falseflagggers, shitposters and general console warriors, further decreasing the quality of content on the board.

My proposal to solve this issue, which is arguably one of the root causes for the current state of /v/, is to ban any user that mentions anything related to Nintendo, be it games, consoles or IPs. I'm sure that the quality of the board would increase tremendously, as the moderation makes clear that Nintendo fans are not welcome on /v/, driving them away from the userbase in a permanent manner, thus removing the main source of bad content on the board.

Feel free to discuss how long the ban should be, I advocate a 3 days ban for first offenders and then a permanent ban for repeat offenders.

Just a little correction, in 1985 when nintendo released the famicom in america, it was NOT marketed as a videogame console, it was marketed as a toy, an "entertainment system" that's why its name is the "Nintendo entertainment system" and not another name. But back then it was considered as a toy business-wise and this little decision of changing name and category is a big part of the success of the NES.

It's funny because the prototype for the Wii U is no doubt older than their shitty tablet thing.

>>386883959
Yeah, the point is that everyone saying Nintendo would fail due to any given circumstance has always been wrong. and they always beat the expectation.

>>386883947

Yeah no, not even Sony can help them if there's no case to be had.

>>386880871
I still don't understand why they would try and tackle them from the detachable controller angle especially when you have a controller that functions differently.

>>386885104
It's just some retards thinking they can make a quick buck.

I'd say that anyone defending Jewtendo and their shitty practices is the worst shill in gaming.

>>386889289
Every company has tons of shitty practices, Jewtendo isn't alone.

>>386881475

Is this why they lost the 3DS lawsuit?

>>386882227
Yes

>>386887915
They could be black as well. Retardation isnt racist.

It's too bad, I'd really like to buy the Switch but I just don't have any good reason to support Nintendo since they quit doing all the things I loved about them in the past.

>>386890927
Before Nintendo appealed and was found to be non-infringing, yeah.

I could go without either, I don't want to read another "NU-NINTENDO IS KIDDIE SHIT BECAUSE WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD I WAS SCARED OF A POORLY MODELED MONSTER WITH WEIRD TEXTURES IN A N64 GAME AND NOW THEY HAVE BETTER GRAPHICS AND I'M 20 SO I'M NOT SCARED ANYMORE" or "BOTW IS THE BEST GAME EVER AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH THIS OR THINKS THE GAME HAS A SINGLE FLAW IS A SONY PONY WHO IS MAD" post ever again

They just removed Wii U from the official nintendo site.
Not only that but the entire R&D they did on Wii U put them so far in the red that the amiiboo shit couldn't save it.
All in all it was a wasted investment because they didn't turn it into as much profit as is normally acceptable for that type of investment/scale.

Top kek

>>386896697
Say what you want, but the WiiU is a really interesting idea. Not the tablet controller itself, but the idea of having a console that offloads the processing and wirelessly connects to a separate screen. It's similar to steam/nvidia's inhome stream, but much tighter.

Honestly, if it had released at a different time it might have had a better chance, but cheap smartphones and tablets utterly dominated the market and Nintendo failed to realize that the DS wasn't popular because people wanted 2 screens (hell, most games didn't even use both screens).

I don't outright hate Nintendo but can we stop pretending that we still enjoy buying a glorified paperweight that only has two or three good games for it tops?

>>386899115
I'm certain it they released it with a different name and the marketing wasn't the worst thing ever it would have sold fine.

>>386880871
Were you born yeaterday?

Nintendos been sued for 3d, and motion controls

>>386899334
There's already like 5 games out for the Switch that are bigger titles worth playing, and plenty more are coming.

>>386899115
Sony has literally been doing this since the PS3 days.

They were also sued for the design of the Wiimote if you remember.
