May 4, 2012 By
Nintendo is already guiding you through the Louvre with a 3DS , but a newly published US patent application takes that kind of tourism to a very literal new level.

Nintendo patent application lends a look at Wii U’s core technology, add-ons too
May 4, 2012 By
Little did we know that, just two months after we were trying the Wii U for ourselves, Nintendo was busy patenting nearly everything its unique game console would have to offer. A pair of just-published US Patent Office applications filed last August get into the nuts and bolts of how the controller and the legacy Wii remote will play with the new device. It’s clear that the patent work had started before Nintendo had redesigned the main system — the box at the center of the patents looks like the existing Wii — but it does show the nitty-gritty of things we only saw at last year’s Nintendo E3 keynote , such as the gun attachment or playing golf with a combination of the Wii U controller and the traditional Wiimote.

Nintendo confirms that it’s selling 3DS at a loss, expects that to change
April 26, 2012 By
Ever since Nintendo slashed the price of the 3DS, there’s been plenty of speculation that the gaming giant has been selling the portable console at a loss. The company acknowledged that fact during its disappointing earnings report , stating, “its hardware has been sold below cost because of its significant price cut in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012,” something that’s uncharacteristic of the company’s past operations. But as with its fairly unfortunate financials, the company plans to turn things around, adding, “Nintendo expects to cease selling it below cost by the middle of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.” Nintendo confirms that it’s selling 3DS at a loss, expects that to change originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:54:00 EDT

Nintendo made an operating loss of 37.3 billion yen ($459.54 million) from 2011 to 2012, but intends to spin it around to a 35 billion yen operating profit in the forthcoming year. Net sales have dropped by 36.2 percent compared to last year, despite price cuts on its existing hardware like the 3DS and Wii.
