Nintendo has been involved with a legal battle concerning 3DS over the past few years. Tomita Technologies previously claimed that the handheld uses similar glasses-free technology that the company patented. However, on Friday, a United States Appeals Court confirmed that the 3DS features technology that is “significantly different” than what’s covered in in the filing.

The New York Federal Court ruled in April 2016 that Nintendo did not infringe Tomita’s patent. It’s the second win for Nintendo by the Appeals Court, which first reversed a 2013 judgment against Nintendo. Tomita also attempted to enforce a similar patent claim in Japan, but was unable to do so.

Ajay Singh, Nintendo of America’s Director of Litigation and Compliance, said in a statement:

“We are very pleased with the Court’s decision. Nintendo 3DS has never used the technology in Tomita’s patent, and the Court’s ruling confirms Nintendo’s long tradition of using its own innovative technology. This case also proves once again that Nintendo will aggressively defend patent lawsuits when our products do not infringe, even when we must do so over many years, through multiple trials and in multiple countries.”

Nintendo has partnered with GameTruck in the past, and now it is doing so once again with Switch. As of today, over 100 GameTruck vehicles will feature playable versions of the 1-2-Switch and Zelda: Breath of the Wild games. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be added at the end of April.

For those who haven’t heard of GameTruck previously, Nintendo describes the service as follows:

“GameTruck delivers a fun video game experience to major metropolitan areas in 30 states around the country. The trucks bring gaming experiences directly to private consumer events and parties with more than 100 trucks fully equipped with the latest video games. There are even game coaches on board to give tips, tricks and training. The trucks roll right up to the location of the party to provide a no-hassle way for party planners to give their attendees a fun experience they’ll never forget.”

The Switch GameTruck promotion allows party-goers to play together in all three Switch configurations: TV mode, tabletop mode and handheld mode. The promotion will continue through June 20.

Towards the end of last week, Bandai Namco published new details about Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X. We have a better idea about some of the modes.

In Ultimate Heroes Mode, players can enjoy an original story that’s only available in this game. It’s an adventure to rescue two worlds: the Dragon Ball Heroes world which has unusual events, and the real world which has also been affected To solve the unusual events happening in the Dragon Ball Heroes world, players will need to capture the Time-Space Door.

Countless incidents happen beyond the Time-Space Doors. They are split into stages where players have to solve each one.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime is still showing up at various places for interviews. Recently, he stopped by Fox Business to chat about Switch and show off the system. While he touches on many of the same topics we’ve heard before, it’s almost worth a watch just for the awkward play of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Back in January, Limited Run Games spoke about wanting to go “all-out” with support for Switch. We may begin to see that in just a few months from now.

Gaming Trend asked Limited Run Games co-founder Douglas Bogart about plans for Switch. To that, he said: “It’s looking very positive and we hope to have our first title out this summer, fingers crossed!”

The company hasn’t yet given any sort of idea about the kinds of physical games we could be seeing on Switch. Limited Run often partners with indies, so we should probably look forward to something in that space.
