Okay, I’m kinda hyped. I wanted to try Steins Gate but I wanted the 2009 original on Switch. Hopefully this reboot comes to Switch (which it likely will unless.. certain things happen) along with PS and PC.
@UltimateOtaku91 Its Atlus. Remember how long it took to get Persona 5 on Switch? And besides, perhaps the Switch 2 will get the ultra special super edition of Metaphor that will probably come out in a year or 2.
@CutchuSlow @commentlife Nintendo would directly sue someone if they know they have a chance at winning. Thats probably why they took their time.
Also their parent patent was filed in 2021, with 4 other sub patents 2 filed in 2022 and 2 in 2024. But under that parent patent they are classified as patents from 2021.
This whole patent thing might be just a way for Nintendo to see if Palworld did use AI theft and directly steal Pokemon looks.
@jrt87 I wish they could release Devotion on Xbox, PS, and Switch (all consoles). Would be nice. They just don't need to release it in the PRC (mainland China).
@RubyCarbuncle The capture mechanic is what is being rumored right now. That one is specifically from Legends Arceus. We don't know if it is true or not. That particular patent was supposedly filed in Japan in 2021. There are probably more patents since Nintendo did say Palworld violated multiple patents. I heard one of the patents was from BOTW/TOTK. But we don't know until we have more information.
@DennisReynolds its already been explained on NintendoLife about the whole case. And supposedly, this patent (if it is EVEN THAT patent in particular) was most likely filed back in 2021 in Japan at least.
"Those defending the House of Mario would perhaps argue there’s no backwards compatibility available on the Switch so the circumstances are different".
The Wii U was also Nintendo's colossal failure. While the Switch is successful. So introducing Wii U games to Switch would be exposing it to a more bigger audience and as mentioned, the Switch has no backwards compatibility
The PS5 on the other hand is backwards compatible with PS4.
@UltimateOtaku91 yes that is the one. HeadPirate on NL has done a wonderful job explaining and I commend him for that. It’s quite dangerous to go in and talk without knowing what it is actually about. Because I see a lot of comments here, NL and PX thinking it’s a copyright infringement DESPITE the lawsuit being a patent infringement. I think now most people in NL now understand though while some here and PX don’t quite understand either.
If Palworld did violate any of those patents, then they are going to be taken to court.
@Sanquine Did I say I wished for the game to fail? No. I want the game to do well but it looks it isn't (at least in Japan and physical wise). I have stated that digital sales might be more though.

Re: Nintendo and The Pokémon Company Want to Stop the Sale of Palworld
@QwarktasticLombax actually the parent patent they filed was filed back in 2021, well before Palworld came out. So it’s completely valid and legal.
And this case is happening in Japan.

@Jacko11 the case is happening in Japan.

Re: Sony Expands Its Global Game Dev Support Initiative with MENA Hero Project
@RBMango then maybe a South Asia HERO project can work then.
Oh wait, Sony is already doing one for India. Maybe a HERO project for South Asia in general.
I say this as a South Asian.

Re: Palworld Is Now Available on PS5 in Japan After Delayed Launch
@Maubari Pokemon is Pokémon. It has the brand.
Also whoever said Zelda is in a bad slate? Like the new one is pretty good. TOTK had a 96 on MC. EOW had a 86. That's still pretty damn good.

Re: Author Pulls PC God of War Ragnarok PSN Mod, Fearful of Sony's Wrath
@Bigmanfan tbh, I don’t think they would have cared anyway even if it did if people hadn’t kept tagging them on Twitter. It’s all up there.
Re: Author Pulls PC God of War Ragnarok PSN Mod, Fearful of Sony's Wrath
@vrubayka or maybe some people on Twitter would keep spamming the PS channel to get attention from PS to see this and do a lawsuit against the dude?
I don't know. Palworld got on Nintendo's radar mainly because people on Twitter kept tagging Nintendo and TPC about the game.
Re: Author Pulls PC God of War Ragnarok PSN Mod, Fearful of Sony's Wrath
Sony about to ask Nintendo to borrow their lawyers when?

@get2sammyb well that sucks indeed. But I get why.

I was hoping when this will come. Heard its really good.

@Yousef- PS5 has that compression tech. That is why?

@UnlimitedSevens lawyers???
YOU MEAN NINJAS?
Re: Palworld Struck by Nintendo Lawsuit Days Prior to Predicted PS5 Reveal
@IamJT could you explain what makes patent litigation or infringement dangerous?
If I remember correctly, Capcom sued KT for patent infringement as well?

Re: Palworld Struck by Nintendo Lawsuit Days Prior to Predicted PS5 Reveal
@Otaku1 except they’re not suing for that. It’s some mechanics in the game they patented. You can literally look it up yourself.

Glad its doing fine in the UK.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@Sanquine Did I say I wished for the game to fail? No. I want the game to do well but it looks it isn't (at least in Japan and physical wise). I have stated that digital sales might be more though.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
I would assume more people bought it digital.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@MrMeeeseeeks They do.
But only if it’s Nintendo.
Joke said, I do hope AB sells well in Japan.

Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@johnedwin wait where did you get the UK chart?
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@PuppetMaster that might have to do with the fact you may have looked up Astro Bot a lot on YouTube so YT will recommend that for you.
Because for me it went from Astro Bot to the negative reaction of the PS5 pro.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@LogicStrikesAgain tbh, I think it kinda is. And now it’s replaced with anger towards the PS5 pro price.
And ofc MS also decided to anger people by announcing layoffs.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@dardel I assume you mean the big group of people who don’t like platformers are in Japan.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
@naruball bad game = more sales.
Examples: EA FC, COD, Madden
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Astro Bot Barely Registers at Retail, PS5 Numbers Plummet After Price Hike
Probably the result of Sony’s decisions lately. A shame AB is low but digital may be higher. AB deserves a lot more people to play it.
But who knows. Let’s wait and see.
