@Wexter I dont see what is ill morally about it. If you ask me copyright law is currently backwards. It should protect the little guy but when we all know what stuff is from a big company influencing pop culture nothing should be kept from the publics hands. Like how Micky just barely came out of copyright. It should not have taken this long. Its not like the pure selling point of this game is the fact the creatures look sort of like pokemon. Its the gameplay. If it didnt have good gameplay nobody would be talking about it. Just look at Temtem, that game came out and some people talked about it for being like pokemon but it didnt keep people because the gameplay wasnt that interesting.
@Cameron_Poe Ha highly likely? Not even close. If you actually know how typology works you'd know that they probably didnt steal pokemon's 3D assets to make palworld creatures. Someone just pointed out similarities that are similar because that's standard, that's just how you make 3D models. If you actually look closely at the typology, specifically where different parts of the model come together, you can see that they are completely different. There would be signs if they just modified the existing model. Mainly like typology issues that come with that. Not to mention the animations would likely have weight painting issues because I highly doubt they would steal a model just to re-weight paint it that's like 80% of the work. And if you actually look at the animations, they look fantastic, nothing like a stolen model without a custom rig setup would look like. There is just too much clear effort put into these models and animations for them to be stolen. They only took some design concepts from pokemon, sometimes even the entire color pallet, and remixed them, but that isnt illegal or infringing on anything.
Okay, I didn't know much about factorio, just thought it probably wasn't my thing... but really? Increasing the price of a game post launch? If you want to make more money, consider actually releasing a new product, instead of hiking up the price on your old one. Gosh even nintendo isn't this scummy.
After some further research I have found this article is a COMPLETE LIE. As in, the interview in question was misinterpreted. Essentially masuda was saying they had to change the model of the game. Not the pokemon. He said nothing about redoing the pokemon models from scratch. So they aren't telling lies we are all just missinformed.
@AyanamiReign actually they can't afford to delay the game. The anime and card game exist and kinda need to keep moving. They can however, just have a patch with every other mon before pokemon home comes out. That gives gf five whole months to do it.
Oh so we lost pokemon because gf couldn't figure out how to import 3ds models into a switch title? And because they don't know how to scale up models? They should have known this by the time they made the let's go games, at which point they could just stop making those games and get right to swsh.
Wow. I really wish I had BOTW at this point. But hey I've got the labo goggles and Odyssey so I have something... Really glad Nintendo made a cheaper base kit. Really nice saying "I'm paying $40 for this and then getting two $20 expansion packs" rather than "I must pay $80 for cardboard"
Yeah a retro game console wobt be competing with the switch at all anytime soon. Believe it or not a good chunk of retro game emulators do have HDMI out so this is nothing new.
@jockmahon I know right? Like I guess Nintendo isn't losing that much money over it but if they are going to have so much shovelware on the eShop they should at least make it easier to find good games.
I haven't watched the video yet... But how? If anything it points to it not happening as they can't increase the size without having to make a new labo kit set for the xl switches. Of course I don't think it means we won't get a switch xl, just that I don't think this labo is proof of one.
I'm gunna be playing blaster master zero 2. Its a super fun game to use an arcade stick on. Also probably smash because I cant get enough of that game And I just got towerfall, so I think I may play some of that.
Bubzy really is just Sonic but worse. Sassy cartoon animal does a thing and the company fails and gets memed to death. But somehow to this day they are still making games.
Due to this, I hope this game is an absolute train wreck rather than the mediocre who cares quality of the last game.

Re: Fired Nintendo Worker Comes Forward With An Account Of Their Dismissal
Honestly sounds like BS to me. Guy revealed nintendo had a buggy build, I don't blame nintendo for not liking that, and I think that does break NDA.
Re: Fans Have Created Their Own Metroid 64, And It Looks Incredible
@NinChocolate given its being made in unity my guess is no.
Re: Fans Have Created Their Own Metroid 64, And It Looks Incredible
So it's being made in unity? I don't know if there's a good way to make an N64 rom off unity. So is it just styled like an N64 game?
