Few days ago, Nintendo brought the classic NES back to life. Miniature Nintendo NES was announced through a tweet by Nintendo America. It will launch on November 11, 2016. The miniature Nintendo NES is going to come with 30 games and costs $60.
Microsoft seems to be stopping from selling Xbox consoles in the Middle East, and will only focus on PC Game Pass and accessories.
Just pull Xbox worldwide and go 3rd party. You’ve done nothing good for the gaming industry.
Thats what they are doing , just slowly like a bandaid, they don't want the xbox fans to notice and have a sook on social media, they want it to go almost unnoticed, that is until they don't release another console and the 4 people still buying xbox products go "hey wait a minute, where is the new xbox, the ps6 is out"
lol Sony: locks out some gamers from games because psn is not available in their country
MS: completely takes away the Xbox in a country.
This gen for gaming is weird.
They're heading that way for sure....The writing has been on the wall for ages for the trained eye. All that phillness bs about xbox owners not being 2nd class citizens......then again, maybe that wasn't a lie when I check it....they're actually 3rd class in the eye of MS gaming.
@Jin_Sakai amazing idea! lets make Sony the sole player in high end gaming video game industry! I am pretty sure that a company like Sony who has never taken advantage of consumers, will graciously accept the monopoly role by providing players with good deals, customer friendly policies and low prices /s
Oh wait..
Slava Lukyanenka, the producer and creative director of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, offers an insightful look into the development of the much-anticipated sequel. He delves into the significant impact that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has had on both the game and its team, sharing how these challenges have shaped their approach.
Palworld developer Pocketpair has responded to this morning's dramatic decision by Nintendo to file a patent infringement.
Palworld is better, but Nintendo has$$$$ They can fight it all they want, but will absolutely lose. It is a blatant Pokemon rip off. I do wish them luck though.
The character design is NOT the issue here. Pokemon patented bullsht. You can patent "Throwing an item to capture a virtual character and another action to release an item that releases a combat character onto virtual world" but my god that is vague as fuck and shouldnt hold in any court...and the kicker? it was patented AFTER palworld was made.
If this lawsuit goes through that is literally going to work on every single monster capture game,
Like the other guy said, this has nothing to do with any of the designs. This is Nintendo patent trolling. It's like Rockstar suing another game if they have a guy opening the car door and yanking them out to steal the car because that's why you do in GTA so therefore that game is infringing on GTA's "patent". And that's the reason why Pocketpair is fighting this because if they lose this opens the doors to MORE lawsuits of this kind.
No they weren't. That was proven false. And, again since people don't seem to understand, this is not a copyright lawsuit or about stolen content/assets/designs/etc. It's a patent lawsuit. So far all the possible patents I've seen were filed by Nintendo 4 months *after* Palworld released.
The catching mechanic patent was filed even before Arceus was released, I dont know which ones you have been watching because all the ones I’ve seen were before Palword came out
(Though not all have been approved in the US yet, just in Japan)
The patent for the catching mechanic was filed July 2024 and granted August 2024. It was filed on top of a separate, "parent" patent that had been filed in 2021. Nintendo filed new patents and had them expedited just so they could sue Pocket Pair/Palworld.
it's so dumb. if that patent holds any water in court - any monster capture game is done and gone. cnts.
Source that says it was filed in July? I couldn't find it. And everything I can find states that it typically takes around a year or more for patents to be approved.
People want Nintendo to lose as a big middle finger to the company, but if Nintendo wins then they set a precedent for others to follow which could be bad for Nintendo themselves if they end up infringing on a patent owned by someone else
The one I'm reminded of is, a few years ago Sony patented something to do with AI controlling a characters moments in a game to "help get past difficult or grindy parts" of a game
Mario kart 8 deluxe had a the auto acceleration and auto steering technology implemented, so potentially if that came back for mario kart 9 could possibly open the door for Sony to sue them if it's close enough
Shame. I thought they might have let you download them onto it or something by updates.
Guess it's a pass from me then
I didn't expect it to in all honesty.
I always thought about owning an NES but in this country they are so hard to get. This is the next best thing for me.
I was hoping there was the original cartridge slot somewhere like the mini sega megadrive/genesis one.
Please do a Mini-SNES, PLEASE!!!!! Link To The Past and SMW PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE!!!
