Palworld fans were left concerned after Nintendo issued a surprise takedown of fan-made merchandise featuring Palworld designs. The move has sparked worries that Nintendo might target the game itself…

By protecting their IPs and characters? I’m glad you don’t run any corporations, because you would give away IPs for FREE and drive the company to bankruptcy, rather than licensing them.

There's no pokemon in palworld.

PRIMORDUS105d ago

There is nothing to protect. People will still buy Pokemon games regardless of Palworld. Nintendo will never get it.

shaenoide105d ago

Pokemonster were based on Dragon Quest design. So what do we do ?

Angyobangyo105d ago

Oh right you clearly know how to run corporations. Must be a slow day at your corporation to be posting here based purely on your feelings. Last I checked the game was unveiled in 2021 and Nintendo never issued a cease and desist, let alone sue.

OtterX104d ago

@BeHunted shaenoide is right. Pokemon ripped off Dragon Quest first. Palworld monsters are as much a variant of Pokemon as Pokemon was of Dragon Quest.

It's expected. The designs of monsters look like pokemon with angry faces.

Michiel1989105d ago

so now nintendo got a monopoly on making designs based on rl animals?

repsahj105d ago

@Michiel1989

You will know if it is based on real life animals. It is obvious where the designs were taken from.

"You will know if it is based on real life animals. It is obvious where the designs were taken from."

its obviously were pokemon took their design from as well, so your point?

Also its similar but not their own, they CANT take down what they do not own, they did have to take palworld to court first, and they know they will fail miserably if they do...

PRIMORDUS105d ago

You can buy the shirt here: https://www.redbubble.com/i...
And so many other's besides Sparkit on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/search...
Nintendo will not touch anything on Etsy, if they let anyone buy modded Nintendo Switches with the games installed, they are not going to take down a shirt on Etsy🤣 Example: https://www.etsy.com/search...

Inverno105d ago

Ninty can't take down what doesn't belong to em, neither are they the owner of cutesy monster designs or the concept itself.

BrainSyphoned105d ago

I want a fan made Palworld TCG deck that is compatible with PokeTCG.

CobraKai105d ago

That’s not theirs this time. Sure they look close to Pokemon but it’s not Pokemon

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan2h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin54m ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla2h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5231h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin52m ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

excaliburps3h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla2h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin50m ago(Edited 49m ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb3h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing692h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!
