A Japanese IP attorney highlights a patent family that might be at the center of Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair.

Nintendo’s stagnated and has become a patent troll

as someone that used to be a fan I’m sad as it’s hard to be hyped for any of their games when they’re widely known for pulling these kinds of scummy tactics time and time again

indies be dammed, it’s too much of a risk to make Nintendo-inspired games let alone direct fan-games

It’s a shame you can’t support nintendo’s developers while excluding their legal department. Oh well, the high seas mean I still get to enjoy what I want to

People can’t even make a mod that requires the base game to work.

Nintendo has always been an underhanded bully. This isn’t new.

Ya their patent crap precedes year 2000

And is just an extension to their licensing nonsense and publishing deals thst came beforex

Anyone surprised by any of this doesn’t care about Nintendo’s behaviour, just the impact the current move is having on their current fun.
