Nintendo’s new console is beloved by millions and selling like mad, but will it get the multiplatform games its predecessors lacked?
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.

Enjoyed Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection? It's time to welcome in The Wider World of Atari, with a huge new expansion to Atari 50.
Neat little collection. The majority of Ataris games don’t hold up that well but there are some arcade/console games that I still enjoy. I’ll definitely get this and I’m glad I waited as I wouldn’t want to buy digital DLC for the first collection
Suddenly... dev start to find the switch powerfull enough to run their game...If there is money to do...they will find a way....pretty sure ubisoft will come next year with assassins creed ...or far cry.
Well, things are certainly looking up for it at least.
We've got Square-Enix saying they now want to actively create new games, and revive old games, and bring them to the Switch.
If they come out with a port of Kingdom Hearts III and make a third entry in the Bravely series for the Switch, I'll be extremely satisfied.
I'd be happiest if they'd localize those two Mana games they're working on for Switch, though. [Secret remake and Mana collection]
Well it is all about install base. If people buy it, devs will want to develop for it. It is not rocket science...
