> Seems like bullshit to me, but I’m not a lawyer. The Japanese patent system is so, so much worse than the US one. Where things like what you just described are possible. Honestly, Palworld is probably hosed over there. Nintendo has the patent on a system Palworld made before the patent even existed and Nintendo is going to beat them over the head with it. In the US, a solid defense to a patent is to show prior art. In this case, Palworld's dev can point to Palworld as the prior art if Nintendo sues them; Nintendo's patent existed after Palworld did. Palworld's dev can also point to a giant mountain of prior art of other games that allow one to throw an object to capture a monster.wrote 29 days ago last edited by> that allow one to throw an object to capture a monster Like throwing a net to catch a fish?

I'm going to buy a switch two, which they usually sell the hardware for close to cost. Then I'm gonna leave it in the box and wait until a mod chip comes out that lets me play every game for free.wrote 29 days ago last edited byIsnt it based on similar hardware as the switch 1? Which hasnt been hacked since the launch model.

They should force Gamefreak to make a better Pokemon game. That would teach Pal World a lesson.wrote 29 days ago last edited byNintendo: But that's haaaaaaard. Me money now.

Fuck Nintendo. Vote with your wallets and don't buy a Switch 2, get a Steam Deck or other similar portable gaming handheld.wrote 29 days ago last edited bySwitch 2? More Like "Switch to Steamdeck" ( ☞˙ワ˙)☞

Steam deck 2 is just around the cornerwrote 28 days ago last edited byI hope so, I don’t even really need much more power, but I’ll be a day one buyer to support the platform. I’ll hand the steamdeck 1 down to my wife for stardew, if she wants it.

I would love to learn why this isn't completely stupid, if anyone has a way of explaining. We'd be down entire genres of games if developers didn't copy each other's homework.wrote 28 days ago last edited byIt is completely stupid. There is a reason the stereotypes about Japanese businessmen are what they are.

Obviously there will always be new cool games, but also, there's enough out there already (hell even just in my Steam library alone) to enjoy new content for the rest of several lifetimes. I don't need Nintendo at all.wrote 28 days ago last edited byI don't either, but Switch is incredibly nice as a family console. Nintendo has a ton of games my kids like, we can bring it on road trips and they can switch off or play together, etc. So I have both. Most of my personal playtime is on my Steam Deck, my playtime with my kids is mostly on my Switch, with a fair amount on my PC. Screw Nintendo's legal dept, but they make a good product for families with young kids. Even my 4yo can figure out games like Kirby and Smash Bros (with help).
