Second wave of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer amiibo cards delayed in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer has been a huge success in Japan, selling over 500,000 copies in its first week. Not surprisingly, the amiibo cards have been similarly successful, to the point where they have been hard to find in stores. Nintendo has now issued a statement that the second wave of Animal Crossing amiibo cards will not release on September 30th, as was originally planned. Instead, production facilities will be used to reprint the first wave of cards, with those reprints hitting store shelves at the end of August. A new release date for the second wave will be announced at a later date.

Nintendo wins another patent case involving 3DS and other DS systems
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Nintendo has once again come out victorious in a patent case in a federal court in Washington state. Here’s the news straight from the Big N:
REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 5, 2015 – On Aug. 4, 2015, Nintendo won a patent case in a federal court in Washington state, which marks two such wins in separate cases just a few weeks apart. On July 9, 2015, Judge Ricardo Martinez issued a ruling in the latest case that sided with Nintendo on 10 out of 10 disputed issues regarding the scope of the patent. The rulings led the patent holder, Secure Axcess, LLC, to agree that Nintendo’s well-known hand-held systems, including Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DS, do not infringe. Secure Axcess is a patent-assertion company that originally filed suit against Nintendo and 11 retailers of Nintendo products in a Texas court in January 2013. Since then the case was transferred to the Washington court, where it has now been dismissed.
“We are very pleased with the court’s rulings and outcome in this case, and will continue to vigorously defend our innovative products against patent lawsuits,” said Devon Pritchard, Nintendo of America’s General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Business Affairs.
In the case against Nintendo that was dismissed on July 17, a federal court judge found that eight of Nintendo’s popular hand-held systems, including the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance systems, do not infringe a patent asserted against those products by Quintal Research Group, Inc.
