The investigation is based on a complaint filed by Gamevice, Inc. on March 30, 2018. The complaint alleges Nintendo violated section 337 of the Tariff Act by importing “certain portable gaming console systems with attachable handheld controllers and components thereof.”

Please don't become like that iPhone vs Galaxy or insert smart phone company name fight...

Gustertote2227d ago

The question is, will it go anywhere?

Sgt_Slaughter2227d ago

So why did they wait for almost two years to file when they knew about the Switch since late 2016?

CurbStompin2227d ago

Are you seriously asking that? So they can get paid for every console sold so far. Plus future royalties

Sgt_Slaughter2227d ago

It was supposed to be a bit more sarcastic than that but I didn't add more to my point lol

yellowgerbil2227d ago

I don't claim to be a lawyer but wouldn't the fact that the joycons are a required part of it (in portable mode) make it different than an add on that has no connection to the devices hardware? I also thought ideas aren't patentable otherwise only 1 company would be making phones or tvs, the way it works is nothing like the way that garbage accessory worked

DillyDilly2227d ago

Technically Joy Cons are not required since there are other Controller options

DillyDilly2227d ago

Why now & not when it was announced is always the question I have with these things

So far, it doesn't look like it.

dumahim1d 10h ago

I dunno. Might actually be better than Forza Motorsport 2023 was at launch.

DivineHand1251d 6h ago

You played Forza Motorsport?

dumahim1d 5h ago

@DivineHand125

Yes. All of the ones on Xbox since the beginning. I even have the original Best Buy demo copy and FM2 limited edition that they didn't even sell in the US.

BeHunted21h ago

Did you actually read the article? They're talking about open world games like Forza Horizon, The Crew, etc. Not circuit racers; otherwise, they'd mention Gran Turismo.

MrBaskerville15h ago

Unpopular opinion it seems. But yeah, Forza Motorsport was the worst game in the series since Forza Motorsport 5. Huge letdown. Did they ever rework it? absolutely hated the campaign progression and the rpg systems relating to upgrading cars. Ended up just going back to 6 and 7 instead, those two also had a LOT more stages.

Only a competitor if your game works fully offline and isn't some service.

DigitallyAfflicted1d 12h ago

it sounds like this game is stuck in last generation.

Skuletor1d 12h ago

Personally, I wouldn't want my game compared with The Crew at all, I certainly wouldn't be the one making the comparison either.

ElaBosak1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

How so? It's a very successful and popular racing franchise. Any game entering the genre is competing with racing games including The Crew.

Skuletor23h ago

It wasn't very long ago Ubisoft shutdown the original The Crew's servers, making every copy unplayable. I wouldn't want to be associated with that controversy.

ElaBosak6h ago

Yeah, they shut it down because the community has moved on other entries. And there's no controversy outside of your tiny social bubbles.
