IGN

Nintendo has run into another issue during its ongoing legal battle against Pocketpair’s open-world survival game Palworld. As reported by GamesFray, one of the Nintendo patents related to the case has been rejected by the Japan Patent Office (JPO) for lacking originality.

tranquil pike
#

What I keep saying to people is this lawsuit being about IP is such utter BS. If this was really about IP then they'd have gone after the literal live service MMO that is straight carbon copies of their copywritten material but just stapled together. Or have gone after Temtem because frankly imo temtem has done WAY more to copy off of pokemon than palworld has.

They're going after palworld because they're successful and Nintendo is crying that their market position is threatened. And it's coming off to everyone else as a sore loser's argument

Stay mad pokemon, shouldn't have fallen asleep on your core audience 🤷‍♀️

Nicki dominated the charts from like 2006-2016ish. Even throughout that period of time anytime there was another female rapper, Nicki went after them like Azula from avatar the last airbender. But then when other women started having success she started losing her mind

Honestly I see pokemon as a worse final fantasy/ world of final fantasy/ dragons quest/ Nino kuni/ digi mon game. In the same breath luigis mansion is a clone of ghost busters, the Zelda series is just Peter pan, starfox is just furry starwars, Kirby is just pacman with a few changes, metroid is just alien, and mario kart is just a modern take of f-1 racing games.

There's litterally nothing special about Nintendo games xD

#

I dunno about that, I think you may just really hate nintendo lol

#

The only similarity I see between Kirby and Pacman is the amount they eat.

#

If I remember correctly, Link's costume is based on Peter Pan, but it is hard to see Link as Peter Pan bc he doesn't take children, he doesn't remain a child, and it was Windwaker when pirates were introduced.

#

I also think Luigi's Mansion is based on Ghostbusters and either the vacuum joke or Capser the Friendly Ghost(the psychiatrist sucks up Stretch, Fatso, and Stinkie)

The problem with pokemon has always been that it stopped making anything new and stayed stagnant for basically a decade (arguably more) and now correctly people see it as basically irrelevant

That's a hughs miss conception. Pokemon never did anything new all it did was copy ideas an concepts mostly from dragon quest and digimon. To an extent mega evolution copied ideas from digimon meanwhile tripple battles was more or less copied from cyber connect 2 mobile games and other spin off games like Yokai watch which pkmn copied ideas from.

Modern Zelda is just assassin's creed with a Zelda skin. Mixed with elements from Gary's mod. Which I'm pretty sure Valve and many other companies like level-5 could heavily sue Nintendo if they wanted to.

I have zero interest in canva and rarely do hobby art, but still might be looking into this

It's worth noting that this isn't specifically a "Canva" product, more in that they bought a separate company called Affinity and just injected capital and let them keep doing their thing

There is no such thing as a justified Nintendo legal action because no one will ever infringe in their IP enough to justify it

Nintendo said the streamer used emulators and burner accounts to continue streaming after repeated takedowns. Despite multiple bans and notices, he kept resurfacing under new names.

What made the case stand out was the taunting. They allegedly sent Nintendo a letter boasting that they had “a thousand burner channels” and “can do this all day.” As originally reported by TorrentFreak, the streamer also posted on Facebook, calling out Nintendo directly saying, “Should have done more research on me. You might run a corporation, I run the streets.”

Not necessarily, we’ve known they’re going to lose money on this lawsuit ever since we found out the cost they’re demanding to let pocketpair use the patent

What matters here as I’ve said before is the cash cow: if Nintendo believes there’s even the slightest chance of winning this lawsuit and keeping their chokehold monopoly on the monster taking genre by owning these patents, they’re going to take it

simple aurora
mental summit
# simple aurora Which isn't going entirely well atm.

Like the last game ZA, I’d have to look at it, but it made back like 29x the cost it took to develop the game, you’d be stupid to give that up for even a second. And even if they did, they’d have to fall back on investing enough money to actually out compete with palworld for a few years (gamefreak is very hesitant to want to get help for improving their games for some reason, even when suggested by Nintendo), which could be hundreds of millions depending on how long it’ll take to make quality that drives them to the forefront of a monopoly again

#

Hundreds of millions, I should add, that aren’t exactly guaranteed to be made back if they can’t out compete

If Nintendo actually did urge improvements then it seems like it's a case of Gamefreak purposely not caring about the Nintendo IP. The trailer for their upcoming, separate game definitely seems like lack of skill isn't the main problem

Slightly related bit

Turning to our digital business for our dedicated video game platforms, digital sales totaled 69.8 billion yen, down 13.5% year-on-year, mainly due to a decrease in sales of downloadable versions of packaged software for Nintendo Switch.

honestly, the amount of nudity in female product commercials is stupid. Like women know what said products are used for, but arbitrary "empowerment" movements make them just barely wear any clothes because 'It makes them strong'?
Just market your product normally... I really hate this, when I see like those old commercials from the 60s they might lie and tell you about the added snakeoils in their products, but the product comes first and foremost.

bruh its not a hard concept, there are people who legit can't see the practical difference past 60FPS. This isn't the "the human eye can only process 24 FPS" type troll arguement, its just a genuiene difference between of perception for our human brains.

Personally, i can only really notice a difference up to 120hz, MAYBE 144hz, but past that is a no go. Even then, 60 FPS is more than comfortable for me to game, i don't really need more frames than that even on my 144hz monitor because i don't mind tearing that much and i don't feel like running hot on my PC at all times if i don't need to.
