They had a hilarious patent where they tried to copyright, “Player on moving platform jumps and keeps moving” in Tears of the Kingdom. Mf’s tried to copyright physics.
Fuck Nintendo
What shitty behavior coming from a children's toy company.
*Vexatious Litigant Law Firm
At this point, their Legal team is bigger than their Games Development side-hustle.
Thanks, I hate it!
Mod makers, you know what to do
I was really hoping they would change the sphere to a dodecahedron or something
it still wouldn't pass the requirements, the patent is bullshit. It's any object tossed at a creature. Could be ninja stars or an old boot and it would violate the patent.
They also own the patent of riding a claimed char (in both the air and ground if I understand it right) so they are technically still in violation of Nintendo's patents. It's so dumb
Furthermore, they also own the patent of aiming a device and catching in a percentage chance.

Cool, let's pull them into a scroll or something.
A scroll may work, if it's not being tossed. which I think is why they did the side by summon
Temtem uses cards that circle around the creature when capturing iirc. I thought it worked well.
I don’t think temtem is affected as much by this since they’re not a studio based in Japan.
Apparently a capsule is a trademark special to Nintendo
Not trademark. A false patent
Quick, someone tell Capsule Corp!!
