This games are very punishing from what I heard. I suggest you all start with one of the games and buy it just to try it out.

YES YES YES YES YES YEA.

COME TO SWITCH 2 PLEASE.

@CriticalHit Prince MBS himself is a gamer lol.

Yakuza Kiwami if it runs well so I can prove RGG that THEY ARE DEAD WRONG.

And Slay the Princess too.

I would buy these tho and maybe Metroid Prime

The Nintendo Ninjas are about to take this down in

3... 2... 1...

@McBurn kill one, ten more takes its place...

HAIL HYDRA.

@HeeHo and ones they never paid for

@VoidofLight afaik, this happened to Yuzu

@Dr_Lugae oh boy were they making money off of this emulator?

Ah a wonderful conversation. Just emulate old games and such, that’s fine. Don’t emulate any games that are on current gen consoles.

And definitely don’t pirate them.

Why did I think that looked like Phoenix Wright for a second....

Am I the only one who thought of this?

I heard lot of good things about it so if it runs well on Switch, I’ll pick it up.

@Bl4ckb100d out of the Life is strange games on Switch, only True Colours seem to run well.

@shonenjump86 The whole Capcom leaks say there is a AA7 in the works.

@FX29 because those 3 all bring the money.

@Dr_Lugae I hope they do sue on copyright. But let’s see.

@Deviant-Dork they themselves even implied it back then. Don’t know why anyone is surprised.

If it means any form like AA7, GAA 3 or Investigations 3. I’m here for it.

I’ll watch the special introduction video though regardless.

precisely why I hate live-service games.

@Bolt_Strike That lawyer in the article mentioned that they narrowly avoided copyright.

@nintendolife Also Nine Sols has been confirmed for Switch.

@GameOtaku except Nintendo does since the parent patent was filed in 2021. And these 4 divisional patents are part of the parent patent so legally those 4 divisional patents are "technically and legally" were there since 2021.

Oh wait, now 2 Atelier games?

I am confused? Should I get this one you all?

@JimNorman no problem.

@KoopaTheGamer while it is true Pokemon games have dropped in quality (Arceus was actually good afaik tho), the fact it is Pokemon brings a lot of sales. Brand recognition.

@KoopaTheGamer This article explains it.

@Snatcher technically and legally, these 4 patents were there since 2021 since these 4 patents are part of 1 parent patent that was filed in 2021. Thus legally effective against Palworld.

@Bolt_Strike actually these patents are part of a parent patent filed in 2021. Meaning these patents filed this year are legally "there" since 2021. Meaning legally effective against Palworld.

And they're not going for copyright as Palworld managed to narrowly avoid that. The automedia article NL posted mentions it.

@MegaChem and these divisional patents are legally "there" since 2021. As if they were there all this time.

@GamingFan4Lyf You and I do not make the laws of the US or Japanese legal system.

It is legal to patent game mechanics whether you think it is scummy or not. WB did this with their Nemesis System. And this is also legal with the parent patent and such.

You cannot blame Nintendo or WB or any game company for patenting game mechanics, but rather the governments who allow such laws that allow game companies to patent game mechanics.

If these developers have the same mechanics BUT CODED differently, they would be by passing this patent most likely. If they were using the exact same code for copying these mechanics, then they are on radar.

It also doesn't help with the fact that the PocketPair CEO did state they don't really like being creative and like to chase trends and essentially don't mind copying from other games. One of their games pretty much rips off Hollow Knight.

And also to note, Nintendo would have ignored this if people hadn't started tagging them about this and also if people and I think PocketPair didn't market the game as "Pokemon with guns".

@ozwally its actually divisional patents that were filed and approved of this year. But these divisional patents are part of a parent patent that was approved in 2021. Essentially meaning these divisional patents are legally there since 2021.

Thus, legally effective against Palworld.

@GamingFan4Lyf and legally against Palworld. Yup. They have a strong case over there. But you sumed it up quite nicely.

Have to admit, that is actually pretty complicated but quite smart as well.

@easykiel does this mean the 4 divisional 2024 patents are counted as a 2021 patent essentially?

@GamingFan4Lyf NintendoLife conveniently and for some reason left out one key detail. And it is from that article that they posted.

While it is true these 4 divisional patents were filed after Palworld launched, however these are divisional patents. The "parent" patent for these 4 divisional patents was filed in December 2021. So I think this means these 4 2024 patents what are now under the 2021 patent are legally 2021 patents. Thats what I think it is. Or maybe I am wrong.

But it is legally effective against Palworld.

@easykiel https://automaton-media.com/en/news/whats-the-killer-patent-nintendo-is-suing-palworld-for-japanese-patent-attorney-offers-in-depth-analysis/

The parent patent for this 4 divisional patents was filed in December 2021. One month before Legends Arceus released, way before Palworld was even released. So if this was the patent in question, this is legally effective against Palworld.

@Serpenterror actually, @easykiel might have a point here. In the article NintendoLife posted another article from automaton media. The parent patent of the 4 divisional patents were registered in December of 2021. Palworld came out in January 2024. Meaning this is technically legally effective.

@easykiel thank you for pointing this out, I feel most people here missed this (Including me!!!)

@easykiel where is this link?

We do not know which patents in question it is. They may or may not be resubs of previous patents like what @easykiel said. I would rather instead of all arguing about this, why not wait for official confirmation on this?

@DripDropCop146 LOL

@PikaPhantom Well yes, the court case is taking place in Japan so patents filed in the US would have no effect there afaik.

@easykiel question is did Nintendo apply for the application much much earlier?

@ThatGuyWho @DripDropCop146 Okay, so what is your reasoning that Nintendo is in the right here?

@Maubari might be different methods. Or the same way but they coded it differently in which they can bypass the patent

@Madao oh boy, using Pokemon assets?

That is gonna go well. And yeah we don't know if this is the patent in question. I assume Japanese courts cannot say anything until the trial happens which will take 4 to 5 years.

I don't want to get my hopes up but ACE ATTORNEY 7 PLZ???

But no expectations. But I would kill for some more artwork and such like official iPhone wallpapers and such.

But who knows, it might be entertaining enough.

@27celsius SO TRUE

This about to blow up on the Switch. LITERALLY.

does that mean fix in the frame-rate?

@IceEarthGuard what Itachi meant was the reaction from the Japanese side vs the Western side on the lawsuit I believe. Not the delay.

@GamingFan4Lyf which is probably the best case scenario.

Out of court settlement and change up the mechanics.
