It's not over yet, but it's inching nearer to the end.

According to Games Fray's Florian Mueller (via VGC), the non-final rejection — meaning Nintendo has two months to respond (or more if it choses) — the USPTO has rejected all 26 claims made in the patent, which essentially revokes it, unless Nintendo chooses to respond.

Nintendo manages to really leverage their 'dainty' hardware with excellent designers and programmers.

And it works. I'll take games that are actually fun over the latest RTX whatever bullshit that you need a GPU the price of a used car to run and still there's fuzzies and blurriness. Fuck that noise.
