Nintendo is once again doing something in response to not being able to create a good game. They recently created a patent that prevents games from using the ability to summon creatures and make them fight for you. Let’s ignore that this steps on the toes of multiple games. Kingdom Hearts even uses this fancy taking it up with Disney and Square, they aren’t the only big company every Elder Scrolls game has it so Bethesda will be taking notes, World of Warcraft litterally has an entire class based on this mechanic I’m sure Activision and Blizzard aren’t shy about lawsuits, Shinmagmi Tensei and Persona uses it and I’m sure ATLUS wants their share. Whoever keeps approving these needs to step down as a lawyer or judge as Nintendo is just going to keep trying to abuse the legal system so they can be on top when in reality they can’t make good games anymore.

If you think about it Mario Wonder was a game based on fan feedback based off the Mario Maker games, Pokemon hasn’t had a good game since Sun and Moon in 2016, Zelda has been carrying Nintendo but the last adventure Echoes of Wisdom was okay at best and started as a level editor, Metriod is pretty abandoned paving the way for Hollow Knights takeover, Kirby is pretty much the only consistently good game, but even that game hasn’t had a substantial update aside from what amounts to a DLC. The fact is if Nintendo made good games rather than the slop they put out they never would have to worry about competition.
