To put the potential $30k settlement into context, Nintendo’s most recent annual report stated that it had made a $40m loss from patent litigation in its last business year.
Hey guys, I think I just figured out why first party Switch 2 games are $80 now.
Why would Nintendo get anything? They were suing based on mechanics they stole from other games to make Pokemon
Which would be?
Using creatures to battle for you (Shin Megami Tensei), riding on creatures, etc.
The only one they mildly have a claim on is catching the creatures in magic balls, which is predated thousands of years by superstitious beliefs that you could trap evil spirits inside of crystals and other various rituals humans came up with.
And even if SMT demons aren't the same as monsters, I recall DQ5 literally having captured monsters. That's '92.
Good. Those litigious little nerds should get back to making their overpriced crap.
Nearly 10 year old Switch games still having a $59.99 price tag is the real crime.
Hopefully mods can restore the sphere throwing animations
