Zen Studios had so much good news to share during Comic-Con this week. For one thing, the Marvel Pinball series will be coming to iOS, Android, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, PC and WiiU all by the end of 2012. We'll be getting exact release dates and prices as we get close to each launch.
As for the next Marvel themed pinball table, it's based on Ghost Rider! The "Vengeance and Virtue" edition of tables will first start off with our favorite flaming skull bike rider set in Hell. The new table should be out this Winter for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.
Ghost Rider joins the Spider-Man, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Captain America (the best!) and the Blade tables that are already out. That's not all! There are three more tables planned based on Marvel franchises. Care to guess what the next Marvel theme will be?
A new 24GHz wireless accessory has been filed with the FCC.
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?
If its good and doesnt cost very much count me in. This game will probably be a PSN title.
