There were rumors surrounding Nintendo’s successor to its wildly successful Switch hybrid console. These unfounded information continue to heat up, with the recent released of images that allegedly leak the appearance of the Switch 2.
In other Nintendo news, the Mario maker, along with The Pokémon Company, are planning to file charges against Palworld developer Pocketpair on the grounds of patent infringement. This move comes months after TPC announced that it would "investigate" the survival game "for any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon."
Also, the first details on what the developers of the next "Battlefield" are aiming to do with the sequel are being discussed online, along with some glimpses of EA’s future plans revealed at an investor event this week.
Switch-tember continues apace with more additional speculation about the Switch 2 or whatever Nintendo ends up calling its upcoming gaming console. This is partly because of the alleged leaked manufacturing information coming out of China which appears to show renders of what the Switch 2 might look like as well as its specifications.
Nintendo also announced recently that it had filed a lawsuit against Palworld over the creature-collectathon's patent infringement, not copyright infringement, meaning it the company might have "given up" on arguing that Pals looked too much like Pokemons.
While the details of the suit aren't yet public, the focus on patents probably indicates that certain Palworld game mechanics are - as the Big N's legal team will argue - under Nintendo's ownership, for better or for worse.
"They have a patent on when you have an isometric view, and then a character is covered by a tree, for example, the character can still be seen as a shadow," analyst Serkan Toto says. "This is in like every single isometric game. They had the desire back in 2017 to spit in Colopl's bowl, and came up with these patents." Nintendo's sweeping list of patents means it likely "could have sued half of the gaming industry back in 2017," according to Toto.
Lastly, the next "Battlefield" promises a return to the "Call of Duty" competitor’s "core" after 2021's futuristic sequel drove many longtime fans away. The man in charge, longtime Respawn head Vince Zampella, cites Battlefield 3 and 4 as the peak of the series that the currently untitled Battlefield 6 will be chasing.
