*  The good news but bad for me is that Nintendo is releasing a Nintendo Wii U/Mario Kart 8 Bundle!  It's bad for me because I would love to have that bundle but not going to happen lol.

Cant wait till may 30th when I get my Mario Kart game pre-order

*  This is interesting as well.  Nintendo passed on an offer from Activision for the Skylanders.  Anyone know if that was in best interest of Nintendo?  What are your thoughts?...

If you look into it Nintendo gets sued pretty much every other year. Most of the time its a small company that goes patent trolling with an overly vague claim. Nintendo ends up settling out of court, throwing a few mil at them to shut up, end of story. Unfortunately Patent Trolling is all too common, especially in web design. There definitely needs to be some patent reform in the states.
