Nintendo Might Not Be Planning On Hosting Any Direct Events For Now

In the previous years, we’ve seen how Nintendo has hosted several Direct events. The company has typically shied away from major conferences and events and usually chooses to host its own online Direct events instead. However, according to a report from VentureBeat, it seems that Nintendo could be taking a break from that.

The report claims that Nintendo is apparently not planning to host any Direct events at all for now. Like we said, the company usually hosts its own events, where last year they held a Direct event ahead of E3 2019. However, as VentureBeat had previously reported, the company is skipping this year’s June Direct event, and is apparently now skipping all Direct events for the foreseeable future.

The report claims that Nintendo has apparently reached out to their development partners to inform them of that, and that if they have any kind of big Nintendo-related gaming announcement to make, they shouldn’t wait for Nintendo’s Direct event to announce it. There is already some evidence that this report could be true, like Nintendo announcing Paper Mario: The Origami King last week without any fanfare.

It is unclear why the company could be taking a break from its Direct events. It is possible that it could be related to the coronavirus which has forced many events like E3 2020 to be cancelled, but with Nintendo Direct events typically being online-only, we can only guess why they might be taking a break.

Judge Ruling Could Seen DJI’s Drones Get Kicked Out Of The US Market

In the past, we have seen how companies like Apple have faced patent infringement lawsuits where the request is usually for the company to stop selling their devices and to prevent them from being imported into the country. It looks like DJI is now facing a similar situation of their own.

For those who haven’t heard or weren’t aware, DJI was accused by a US company called Autel Robotics USA for allegedly infringing upon a patent they owned related to drones. The US ITC judge has since ruled in favor of Autel, where the judge recommended that DJI’s drones should be stopped from being sold or imported into the US.

In previous similar cases, like with Apple, it typically involved much older products, but in DJI’s case, it covers some of the company’s more recent models. This includes the Mavic Pro, Mavic Pro Platinum, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, Mavic Air, and Spark. Autel has also since filed a petition to stop the sale of other DJI drones like the Phantom and Inspire series as well.

There will be a 60-day review process, but assuming that nothing goes wrong and the decision is upheld, it means that the drones named in the lawsuit could cease from being sold in the US this July. Whether or not it will be upheld remains to be seen, but if it is, then this could spell pretty big trouble for the company.
