Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Virtual Console news was noticeably absent from E3 last week. Aside from new title confirmations from Capcom and Natsume, there just wasn’t much there.
As part of an E3 interview with Kotaku, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime reaffirmed that Nintendo’s commitment to the service “is exceptionally strong.” He also explained, “there is significant work to take a game that was launched on a previous platform and make it compatible on the current platform”.
You can find all of Reggie’s comments about the Virtual Console below.

Federal appeals court confirms Nintendo win against patent troll in case involving Wii
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 5 Comments
In 2010, Triton Tech filed a lawsuit against Nintendo, claiming that the Wii Remote controller infringed one of the company’s patents. But on Friday, a federal appeals court asserted that the suit was invalid.
Judge Richard A. Jones of the Seattle district court dismissed the lawsuit once before after finding that the patent did not adequately describe a complete invention, making it invalid. The June 13 federal appeals court ruling upheld that previous dismissal.
Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel, said in a statement:
“We are very pleased with this result. Nintendo has a long tradition of developing unique and innovative products, while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. Nintendo continues to aggressively defend itself against patent trolls. After many years of litigation, the decision today reflects an appropriate resolution of this case.”
