Re: Nintendo is one sly mofo
This does not even sound legal...how can they have a patent for something they not only did not originate but has been implemented by other for nearly a decade now...Nintendo does no even DO online gaming in any form and has repeatedly stated that "Gamers do not want online gaming"...this has to be bogus.
Re: Nintendo is one sly mofo
haha i've been a fan of Nintendo since the beginning and this just makes me love them even more......they may even kick ass in the next console wars for once :)
Re: Nintendo is one sly mofo
Strangely enough it's perfectly legal, provided no other company or person contests it before a given date provided by the copyrighting authority, Microsoft have done this a few times ( no suprises there... )
This looks like it was deliberatley aimed at the new generation PS2, Sega and X-Box, it will force them to pay a royalty at the very least or even allow Nintendo to gain access to source coding for the internet based console games. It must the only way for them to pay their soon to be unemployed programmers as they haven't exactly being to well lately.
Seems rather a bit too much like ambulance chasing to me...
PS. Check out the new DOOM 3 if you like PC games, it is intense to say the very least.
Re: Nintendo is one sly mofo
nintendo make shit loads of money in Japan especially with the gameboy and they must get bazillions of things like super mario alarm clocks and other cheap gimics with nintendos name on it somewhere
and i'de love to play doom 3 if my computer cringes at the thought of seeing it and it's needing of all powerful hardware :(

Given the importance XBL and Sony's own Online offerings to their collective bottom line...it's safe to say this will be contested...IF it's even real.
