They’re Japanese patents, so maybe they’re already circulating in Japanese media and haven’t been translated yet.
Alternatively, maybe the Japanese Patent Office requires you to follow some bureaucratic process to get a copy: like you have to be a lawyer and it takes 4-6 weeks to get your reply. I don’t know, but Japan just finally got rid of its last laws requiring floppy disks for certain processes a few years back, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility
Sounds to me like lawyers got wind of it and were worried that NVIDIA might sue them because they paid to have it made. They would likely be concerned about this whether or not NVIDIA had a case.
Tried it out. Liking it so far, but I might have soft-locked the demo? I think I got into a state where I can’t get a key to progress. Or at least I can’t seem to find it. Happy to send pics of map or copy of save file if it would be valuable.

I’m sure we’ll hear the details soon.
