Oh fucking shit. If they succeed, that will be a hard hit to Nintendo. Potentially their end.

That whole patent shit is getting retarded. (see: Apple vs Samsung & co.)

Oh fuck. This cause Nintendo to go "bye bye". And this sorta reminds me of companies getting pissed at YouTube videos like SpongeBob YouTube Poops. It's becoming out of control.

Ridiculous. Philips should concentrate on their TVs and stuff instead of wasting time on patent disputes about stuff that's been around for nearly a decade without them doing anything about it.

Philips isn't exactly known for quality, however :P I have a friend who got a Philips 24" TV for Christmas, and a few months later it had a smoking problem :S

Still, this is pretty shocking if it's true o_O I'd hate to see Nintendo go the way of Commodore and Atari just when they're starting to turn around...

You base that conclusion on a single mishap?

Your friend just got one of those bad units. Happens with any brand every now and then.

Yep. We have a Philips microwave that is over 20 years old and still works fine.


The patent shit is getting retarded. Someday we'll get sued for running a messageboard because some dumb company will have patented the concept of messageboard. Or something equally dumb.

Then again, I suppose Philips only has a bad rep in the United States, considering the name wasn't in common usage until the 1990s (remember, Magnavox was and is an American division of Philips, and for a few years around 2000 they used "Philips Magnavox" in an attempt to bring more recognition of the name); there's also the issue of many of Philips' TVs and other electronic products, at least in North America, being made by Funai (a well-known Chinese manufacturer of OEM or store-brand electronics like Symphonic) which is not known for quality :P

Back on topic, even if Nintendo went belly up, I've said many times before that Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc. would not go anywhere and would continue under a new owner (much like how I've said GM might die, but brands like Chevrolet would continue in the same way)

Since are no longer legal in the United States (although people question Google of being monopoly), then now companies are taking a stab at each other with lawsuits.

Well, that's pretty much some of the dumbest crap going. It's just like Patent Wars™ are the "cool" way to make money for big businesses.

Either way, if Nintendo did get crushed under it.. I imagine both Microsoft and Sony would hold out a hand to make sure they don't collapse out the market completely. Although, if that scenario came around.. I would hope for Microsoft - They have Rare.. who seem to be running dry without that Ninty influence.


The world could always use more heroes!

If Microsoft took Nintendo, then I would drop support for Nintendo like a rock. I hate the stupid shit Microsoft has been doing, and I wouldn't be surprised if they ruin Nintendo like they did to Rare.

Rare didn't burn out because of lack of support from Nintendo, they burnt out because Microsoft stifled them and forced them to make games for the goddamn Kinect nigh exclusively.

I would be totally behind Sony picking them up because Sony is still an entertainment company that at least pretends to care about what its consumer base wants.

I haven't bought a Nintendo system since the Gamecube, but I really feel bad for them now... :(

So uh, Nintendo is going down now. :(

Well, hopefully Sony will take whatever is left of the inevitable rump Nintendo as Trelior said.

Quit being so pessimistic. Nintendo isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I would say that most likely this is just a hardline to force Nintendo to the negotiating table if they win. Losing another percentage of Wii U revenue won't help Nintendo by any means, but it's quite a bit early to proclaim the end of time too...

I wouldn't be so sure. After all they closed down the Nintendo of Europe HQ in Großostheim in Germany, so they don't seem to be going too well...
