Something unexpected arrived on the Japanese 3DS eShop today – and it’s not a game.

Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is still selling on 3DS – despite having launched over three years ago.

100,000 copies of the game were sold between July and September of this year. Total sales now stand at 1.2 million units as a result.

It’s kind of crazy to think that Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition remains a decent seller on 3DS. After all, the game doesn’t have any content from Arcade Edition, 2012 or Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Yesterday, Nintendo won a patent case in a federal court in Seattle, as Judge Robert S. Lasnik found that the Wii does not infringe two patents asserted against Nintendo by UltimatePointer, LLC. It was additionally determined that a trial is not needed since numerous claims from UltimatePointer were invalid.

Chief Judge Leonard Davis of the Eastern District of Texas made similar decisions before the case was transferred to Seattle. Judge Davis also held that Nintendo did not infringe certain asserted claims and that others were invalid.

Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s vice president and deputy general counsel, said of today’s news:

“We are very pleased with these decisions, which confirmed Nintendo’s position from the beginning – we do not, nor have we ever, infringed these patents. The result in this case, once again, demonstrates that Nintendo will continue to vigorously defend its innovations against patent lawsuits, even if it must do so in multiple courts and commit significant resources to defend itself. Nintendo continues to support reform efforts to reduce the unnecessary and inefficient burden patent cases like this one place on technology companies in the United States.”
