i reported on this a while back, i was searching nintendo's patents on the us patent office website, i got shot down for apparently hyping a patent that is actually the n64dd, though the patent could obviously apply to NEWER technology ::grins::

...thanks, nore.  thanks for taking my hopes, stomping on them, and then spitting on them.  sick.  you disgust me.

Yea it's already confirmed by gamespot, it was the n64dd.

I thought that was what the SNES modem did, too?

...apparently it was registered this week, though.  Why the hell would "Nintendo spokespersons decline comment" if that's all it was??

You guys need to stop looking so deep into this stuff. It's just a renewed 64DD patent. Why they renewed it is totally unimportant to you. It's for some horribly obsecure legal reason that most of us probably wouldn't understand, myself included.

i wonder if the fact that they just recieved this patent has something to do with why everyone seems to be all excitied, but i found the patent back in december, check out my previous entry in Fast Forward.

FYI - patents usually take years from filing to be awarded, (someone else told me so)

and i do NOT mean to slash down your hopes and dreams, i have them as well.
