Palworld Pocketpair Nintendo lawsuit

September 18: Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair – the studio known for Palworld – together with The Pokemon Company.

Those that have been keeping up with Palworld since it burst onto the scene this year may not be overly surprised by the news. The lawsuit is seeking “injunction against infringement and compensation for damages”. Nintendo and The Pokemon Company believe that Palworld “infringes multiple patent rights.”

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy review

System: Switch
Release date: April 24, 2025
Developer: Too Kyo Games / Media Vision
Publisher: XSEED

Visual novel fans have been abuzz about The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy.- An impressive list of genre veterans head up the game, with it being written and directed by the creator of Danganronpa, Kazutaka Kodaka, and the creator of Zero Escape, Kotaro Uchikoshi. Originally teased in 2018 as Limit X Despair, it’s been a long seven year wait, but for once, I will not make you wait until the end of this review to tell you what you’ve already been waiting long enough to know: this game is good. Here’s the ‘too long’ part:

A couple months back, we wrote a big list of games that would benefit from performance patches on Nintendo Switch 2. That was before we knew exactly how Switch 2 Editions worked, though – and it was also before we knew Switch 2 Editions existed at all. Right now, six first and second-party Nintendo games have Switch 2 Editions: Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon Legends Z-A, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These upgrades are all paid, and then several more games are getting free performance patches on Switch 2. Today, we’re going over existing Switch games that aren’t on either of these lists that could really use the performance or resolution boost.
