If history can tell us anything about the Palworld patent lawsuit, it’s that Nintendo’s out for blood | Gaming

Earlier this week, Palworld developer Pocketpair found itself in the crosshairs of a Nintendo patent lawsuit, making it the latest target in an infamous history of Nintendo legal action. Nintendo hasn’t yet clarified the specifics of its lawsuit claims, but analysts and legal experts have already been offering their takes on how strong its case might be.

Serkan Toto, CEO of Japanese game industry consultant Kantan Games, told GamesRadar that “Nintendo is going into this lawsuit thinking that they’re going to win. And I fear, looking at the track record, it’s highly likely that they win.” Having explored Nintendo’s litigation history, I don’t know if I’m qualified to speak to its odds—but I’m pretty confident it won’t be pulling any punches.
