Patent_Troll

Another fraud patent troll lawsuit, another victory for Nintendo. Another “company” was suing Nintendo for supposedly infringing on their patents for the DS, DSi. 3DS and GBA handhelds. However,  a judge dismissed the lawsuit. Nintendo released a short statement on the victory.

“We are very pleased to have this case dismissed,” said Devon Pritchard, Nintendo of America’s General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Business Affairs. “The result in this case continues to prove that Nintendo will vigorously defend its innovations against patent lawsuits and will not pay to settle cases simply to avoid litigation. Nintendo continues to support patent reform efforts that reduce the unnecessary and inefficient burden cases like this one place on technology companies in the United States.”

Project Cars Lie MS

Project Cars on Wii U is officially cancelled. Slightly Mad Studios has apologized for not releasing the game on the system, but says they look forward to a future hardware announcement from Nintendo.

“We eagerly look forward to any announcement of further hardware from Nintendo but right now Project Cars is simply too much for Wii U despite our very best efforts. Apologies to our Nintendo fans out there that have been waiting for further news on this but we have no desire to release a product that isn’t at the very least comparable with our highest-rated versions on other platforms. We optimistically look forward therefore to what the future may hold.”
