Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit (www.videogameschronicle.com)

With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

I'm not so sure.

All of my friends who are less pissed off at Nintendo than I am are not even considering buying a Switch 2 because Nintendo basically priced themselves out of the market. All of my friends who have a Switch 1 will not be buying the Switch 2, that's pretty significant IMO, but I guess we'll see.

I agree, they definitely priced themselves out of several demographics including casual gamers, parents of young children gamers, and "I guess I'll get a switch as a second device" gamers. These people aren't going to look at a switch that's roughly the same price as the ps5 and xbox and think "yeah let's grab that one".

The wii u showed their demographic of "die hard fans that buy no matter what" is actually really small compared to the rest of their sales. And I think we're going to see a repeat of that.

I hope it does worse than the Wii U tbh, Nintendo needs to be knocked down quite a few pegs. I am quite fed up with them.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Its also fucked up that the switch is still 300 dollars, despite being released over 8 years ago.

What happened to consoles getting cheaper? You know their cost to manufacture it isnt the same as it was 8 years ago.

Saw this the other day, that part isn't as much their fault.

I bought a WiiU refurbished directly from Nintendo shortly before the Switch came out. I did it purely because the first big hax was released and I was able to easily port my GC\Wii hacked HDD to it AND also have WiiU games hacked games available. WW and TWP were also a big part of that purchase decision for me.

I got a Switch and BotW ultimate CE on release, but will be skipping the S2 for some time. Likely until the next Zelda comes out if the Steam Deck can't easily emulate other S2 titles by that time. I'm bummed I'll be missing the new DK game (only 10GB file size though so not very big) and Hyrule Warriors game as the last one was amazing, but it's a basic beat em up so no love really lost there.
