Q-Games President Dylan Cuthbert recently stated his opinion on what Nintendo needs to do to turn around the Wii U.
Where does the time go?
Nintendo and Pokemon Company have filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc., the creators of Palworld, in Tokyo, Japan.
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.
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?
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?

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.
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…
I agree with the Q-Collective.
But it is easier said than done.
For casuals all they need is to release:
-WiiUSports with a good Golf sim with WiiMote and WiiUGampad Tee-off integration.
- good exercise WiiUFit app.
- Dance titles.
-Party titles.
-Sports.
-Android and Ios >App integration.
And I think they will win.
We Nintendo Fans drool at Zelda, SSB, MK, and Metroid (me Fire Emblem).
But the "cORE" and the rest of the Core (Nintendo fans can be Core) need more games that looks and plays (w/ Nintendo flare) like COD, GTA, BatMan, AC...
-Nintendo has many existing character that they can create "cORE"-centric experiences with but will they?
-They also have no shortage of talented people who are 1st or 2nd Party and are able to create games with the "cORE" at the center of design.
31 days and hours and we will know. E3!!!!!
(Also, a great Pokemon Game would get the WiiU in the door. This kind of bugs me because I think that Nintendo could go to Square/Enix or Blizzard (;)) themselves and say, "Hey, make us a Pokemon RPG/MMO and share in the profits." And they would.Cheaper and faster to Outsource it.)
I actually said this and got a gazillion disagrees for some reason o.O
Mario's all good but is stale now days...this is coming from someone who has beat every supermario except the wiiu one. I loves me some mario,zelda,donkey kong,starfox,metriod but please god gimme something freashly new and ill buy a wiiu...
Didn't Miyamoto say he was making a new IP?
They already announced 3 of those at the beginning of the year.
What Nintendo needs are more frequent game releases. Nothing more.
battletoads. that is all
