Namco had a 20 year patent on interactive loading screens despite not being the first to do it, and it suuuuucked. was so happy when it expired.

A famous example where the patent was approved is the nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor. And it's a real shame, because that's a great system and it died with those games.

that function has been in games before Nintendo did it if I'm not mistaken

You should’ve done a bit more research. On September 2 they were given the patent to summoning or what they call “sub characters” that look like or resemble Pokémon. Might not seem like a problem but they have over 1000 characters (including transformations, evolutions etc) so imagine implementing that system, and not have that “summon” resemble anything Pokemon. Then when you’re finished you have to compete with “x” amount of companies doing the same thing. Soooooooo yeah…. Big problem

Community Violation :
Even if they somehow managed to get it. Patents can be challenged, can't they? Other companies like FromSoft that use it in all their games would be sure to challenge

Daisy Foko Granson :
The only patent they have related to this so far is for a specific implementation or method combining multiple rules and modes (how the sub-character appears, how it behaves when no enemies are present, when an enemy is nearby, whether automatic or player-controlled combat, etc. So it’s so specific that it shouldn’t really effect their competitors, it’s mainly directed at their characters archetypes and mechanics specifically

if they sued theyd still have to prove in court that no one did it before them in 1996. which enix (square enix) has proof they have games that did that released previously.

Haven’t other games done this already. Which would nullify any patent attempt?

If it’s so likely to be rejected, why is Nintendo wasting their time and energy doing it?

Why is palworld getting sued and this been being talked about for months and months I agree with you but also if it was as simple as you say they wouldn’t have ground to sue them I’m not sure though so correct me if I’m wrong
