Not only are they taking the plunge but it sounds as if they are making it so that other consoles might not be able to follow.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/19/nintendo_online_gaming/
anyone heard anything more on this yet?
can they really paten online console play?
This is not anything to do with the DS this is general Nintendo discussion and not intended to be about the next system or the DS but Nintendo and if they have truly got a paten for online play or not.
There is no reason to lock the possible discussion of such a topic without full facts disproving or proving this in any way shape or form. Not unless some mod here actual has something against the discussion of Nintendo that we should know about?
is this still a discussion forum or not?
I'd like to hear more about this, true or false and all's opinions on it either way.

i am interested in what's the deal with this?
are you saying your not?
or is this kind of talk no longer allowed after 3 years of being on this forum?
it sure used to be used to discuss Nintendo, so what gives now?
if i have missed something then please expand on what the hell it is your talking about.
i no longer live on this forum and try to come here of all old Nintendo forums for a quick fix here and there and this topic got me to come back to find out what is real and what is not.
sorry if i have repeated something discussed many pages back or somewhere else that only people who live eat and breath this forum might see it.
now please, opinions and facts on this link would be great to hear.
thanks.

this could be huge for Nintendo and could be devistating for console online play or even larger for nintendo if they can somehow charge other consoles to use it. i have no idea what is going on with this but if it's real then it could be huge.

the reason I'm saying lock is because this exact same topic is in this thread and currently locked as well.
All nintendo did was renew their 64dd patent with a few new things. I don't see what the fuss is about, the hype over patents almost NEVER amount to anything.
Now if nintendo patented a special kind of optic WAFFLE IRON....maybe I'd get excited...

anyway. what happened to all the people who used to be on here that had Nintendo facts bubbling out their ears and mouth? fill us in on what ya know on this!
Bloodworth, you still around? what's the scoop on this if any?

Plus, we already have a thread on this in the DS forum I believe.
I believe that's the main reason why he locked it. Nobody likes two of the same thread.

Chongman, it is obvious whatever mod locked the 1st post did not notice the date or really read the article. in other words they were a bit trigger happy with their powers at hand.

It's just a renewed patent for the 64DD. This is NOT NEWS, not at all.
It is saying that Nintendo have chosen to extend the patent of a "home video game system" and an "online gaming service" of some description. Companies usually do this, mainly to protect their intellectual property (any products that use the patented technology) and to earn royalties from other companies using their patented technology.
They weren't trigger happy at all. They were within their means to lock it, and they DID read it.

if there is one with people actually discussing this other then just complaining about something they are not sure about then by all means please post me in the right direction. considering this is not one console specific then it seems the general Nintendo area is still best suited for this topic.
