"However, Nintendo won’t be going out without a fight. While they’re skipping the traditional press conference this year, the company confirmed that they’ll be showing new entries in their most blockbuster series — a 3D Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart, and Super Smash Bros. will all be making their Wii U debuts at E3 in June. For good measure, we’ll be seeing more of Pikmin 3 there, too.
With all of that in mind, allow us to humbly suggest what we want to see from each game in two weeks. Feel free to tell us what you want to see out of these games in the comments below." - Joe Garcia
Nintendo and Pokemon Company have filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc., the creators of Palworld, in Tokyo, Japan.
Ye, Custom Robo Arena was a lot better than Pokemon anyways, now that's a game.
Interestingly this comes like a day after they announced they would be at the Tokyo Games Show.
We should all really hope so. Otherwise, this could lead to many issues, as they hold patents on numerous game mechanics. And when I say numerous, I truly mean it. Take this one, for example:
"Abstract: In an example of a game program, a ground boarding target object or an air boarding target object is selected by a selection operation, and a player character is caused to board the selected boarding target object. If the player character aboard the air boarding target object moves toward the ground, the player character is automatically changed to the state where the player character is aboard the ground boarding target object, and brought into the state where the player character can move on the ground."
In plain English, do you guys remember that super amazing mechanic where you surf on the water with a Pokémon, and then when you hit land, it changes to you walking? Yeah, they patented that.
A patent lawsuit? What Pokémon-related patent could Palworld even be infringing that other similar games haven't? This makes no sense. Feels like Nintendo just trying to throw its weight around to bully competitors, just like they do with emulators even though they're legal.
They can't Innovate their own IP, but when others are breaking the ceiling, they run to the courts, gtfo Nintendo/Gamefreak.
Companies' gatekeeping mechanics behind the patent system to stifle innovation, consumers will always pick the better product, it's not the consumer's fault that Gamefreak has sat on their lazy assess for years.
You can't argue with _subjective_ taste. Some people are going to like games you find crappy. I'm happy not everyone has the same taste.
@swedishMeatwad
PS5 Pro is obviously objectively the better product when compared to the base PS5, but the majority of consumers interested in a PS5 will not be picking Pro over base PS5.
There are countless examples like this out there.
Rather you like it or not COD has many accessible options and customization that allows for better experience than most other FPS.
The Palworld has been out since January of 2024 and now Nintendo finally decides to do something. I fail to see how Palworld is like Pokemon besides evolving monsters. There are other games out there as well where you can capture and level up monsters. Tales of Symphonia 2 does that capture monsters and have them fight with you and they evolve when levelling up. The two games might share some similarities but what game doesn't borrow from another game. I could understand if Palworld was just a straight on copy clone of Pokemon but it's not. Nintendo is starting to become a pain in the ass. Going full gung ho with rom sites that I can see, purposely taking down pictures from a strategy guide for Mario 64 the strategy guide never came to North America and Nintendo had the pictures taken down. Where does it every stop with Nintendo?
It's because Palworld became a worldwide viral success. Nintendo can't fathom someone else being that popular when it comes to a small monster catching game.
Nintendo is only acting now because they just finished a lawsuit which they won.

Atlus should get on this and sue Nintendo as SMT came out before Pokemon. If Nintendo is going to play this game.
This feels like a scare tactic more than anything else. There's nothing here dozens of other games haven't already done, they're just mad this game showed people how much the pokemon series has been slackin and are desperately trying to make an example out of them.
How's about instead of spending all that money on court fees and lawyers you invest it into making pokémon better?
I think if it was a scare tactic it would have happened when the game came out I have a feeling they've been building a case for a while
It did happen even before the game came out, they tried several tomes before and nothing came of it

Well Nintendo and Squaresoft is where he started. I totally understand why he doesn't want to do FF now. If so I'm happy for either a remaster of Last Story or a new entry/spiritual successor. Loved the battle system of Last Story.
I just really want a new Lost Odyssey, or even a proper remaster with some QoL updates. Though I'd also love to see him work with Square on a new IP.
Wish my parents bought me a NES as a kid I would have played the first FF game. But I was lucky to have a SNES I played a bit of FF6 and just went to Chrono Trigger. When the FF collection releases I-VI Collection Anniversary drops I will take my time to play each Final Fantasy.
I mean… this is kinda obvious. The original final fantasy and its early sequels were on…
When ex-President of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aimé, showed off a portion of his N64 collection on social media, we suspect he probably wasn't anticipating a wave of offers from potential buyers.
Why should he sell his collection? It's his collection if he wants to sell then that is his decision maybe he wants to save it as a nest egg or pass it down to his kids. That's like asking the AVGN to sell his giant collection plus the Nintoaster. Or like asking Jay Leno to sell his car collection. Collectors like to brag, show off, and explain the history or the rarity. Be lucky Mr. Ex Predisent even gave you a glimpse of his collection.
I think it great he shows off his collection it shows that despite the criticisms he got he really wasn't just a suit and truely loved the games and that really shows in the fact that he still talks about Nintendo years after departing the company we need more Reggie and less matrck in gaming
Quest 64, I brought that dumpster fire day 1.turned me into a die hard square enix and PS fan.Gawd that game was horrible.
it was fairly busted too once u had a certain lebel of earth magic haha otherwise yes. dumbsterfire ha
huuuge potential tho
I really want to see The HD legend of Zelda and Next 3D mario, but I what I want to see the most right now is Retro's new project.
Monolith's X, Bayonetta2, and Yarn Yoshi.
My hopes for Pikmin 3:
That it's good. That's it really. I've never played any other Pikmin games so I don't really have anything to say about it.
Hopes for Mario Kart:
That it's a Double Dash!! sequel, and MK64's Rainbow Road is included.
Hopes for Super Smash Brothers:
CDs either appear less rarely or last more than 3 seconds, and the Classic and All-Star modes go back to how they were in Melee. Also, a whole bunch of other minor stuff like certain characters and stages.
Hopes for Zelda:
I think it be cinda cool if they had you play as a Link from a past game. But not Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess, one from before Wind Waker, maybe even one from before OoT.
Hopes for Mario:
1st off, I just gotta say, I just made that SMG2 image my desktop background. Seriously, just look at it, it's not even a game on an HD console, and it's breathtaking. Maybe that's just me, I don't know. Anyway, I don't really have any hopes for the new Mario game either, except being good of coarse. But how could it possibly be bad? It can't.
Screw all that. Show me shin megami tensei X fire emblem
What I want to see:
- Show off all previously announced first party games. All I need from them are trailers and release dates
- Show off unannounced first and third party games
- Show off at least one new third part exclusive that'll cause a bigger shitstorm than Bayonetta
- Highlight indie titles. Nintendo has been doing a great job getting indie devs on board. Now just do the opposite of Microsoft and like Sony let indie devs shine
- Retro. Prime 4. 'Nuff said.
- New features for Wii U like achievements and cross game chat
- Price drop with a new ad champaign and marketing push
Again it may sound lofty but it can be done and Nintendo has delivered in the past and hopefully will in two weeks. Until then all we can do is hope and wait.
