@KingMike There’s literally hundreds of thousands right and how many have Nintendo actually gone after? Just shows you that Nintendo is nowhere near as litigious as the internet would have you believe.
@HelenaFG13 As I have already replied, I’ve not seen any cases of Nintendo going after games that merely “resemble “ their work. If that was the case, there would be thousands more lawsuits. I get it that it’s Nintendos IP you are worried about closely resembling. IMO that’s just an unfortunate coincidence. Nintendo is nowhere near as litigious as 95% of the internet makes out and in most cases, their actions are justified. A good point in case being Palworld. That game is clearly plagiarism and is literally trying to be successful by controversially riding the coattails of Pokemon. The OP is just talking *****.
Crap, biased, contradictory article. If these future talents are being creative, then they won’t incur the wrath of Nintendo or any other large company if their work is original. Contrary to popular opinion, Nintendo doesn’t go after games that simply “look a bit like their work”, they go after blatant plagiarism, or others using their characters/IP’s without prior permission. Nothing wrong with that in my book. TLDR:- if future work is actually creative and original, Nintendo won’t go after them. Therefore, the article is hogwash.
