Nintendo responds to “guilty” verdict in patent infringement case
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Nintendo, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

Nintendo is confident that the result will be set aside. The jury’s verdict will not impact Nintendo’s continued sales in the United States of its highly acclaimed line of video game hardware, software and accessories, including the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others.”
– Nintendo Statement
As expected, Nintendo will be appealing the decision and trying to get it reversed. None of us are law professors or lawyers (probably– maybe one of you will surprise me), so it would be hard for us to comment on exactly whether this is a fair decision or not. If they are guilty, it’ll be the first time in quite a while that Nintendo will have lost a lawsuit!

Disney Infinity delayed, now set for August
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Disney Infinity won’t be making its original June release. The game has been pushed back to August 18 in North America while most internetional territories will be getting it on August 20. A confirmed date of August 23 has been set for the UK.
Speaking about the decision to move Disney Infinity’s release, Disney Interactive co-president John Pleasants said:
“We could deliver in June if we wanted to. Will a two-month timing change help us? Sure, of course. It gives us a little more time to add bells and whistles and make sure it really sings and pops.”
Pleasants added in another statement that Disney hopes “to capitalize on the critical fall retail season.”
“We have moved the launch date for Disney Infinity to August 18 to capitalize on the critical fall retail season.”
