They didn't. Literally read the article, or anything about the interview posted in the past couple days.
Mono had minimal involvement in Skyward Sword, joined into BOTW halfway during production, and only TOTK is where they were actually there from the start.
As a DMC fan since the first, I find its impact fascinating.
Despite never being a powerhouse in terms of sales, you can argue it's the single most influential series at this very moment. Everything is copying it, even Final Fantasy of everything lmao.
Move the benchmark all you want, this is an insane feat.
It's a freaking Digimon game, launching with double the numbers of some of the biggest names in JRPG's.
Also, trying to slam the series for being "more of" it's current most popular entry in Cyber Sleuth, is pretty silly. Oh no, they're giving fans more of what they asked for!
"You just admitted in your own post that the intention of the patent is to prevent competing games in the creature capture genre"
There is no "creature capture" genre. Capturing new allies in battle is literally what Pokemon brought to the table, and Is the content of the patent. All the other forms of monster obtaining that came before and after, like negotiating with monsters(SMT) or renting monsters(DragonWarrior Monsters), it doesn't affect.
1.TPC filed for the mechanic you're referencing, not Nintendo.
2.The patent is super specific to Pokemon's gameplay loop. The only games that will overlap with it are straight up clones like TemTem.
Man I miss Kosuke Fujishima's art so much.
That cover art has more personality than all of Tales of Arise put together.
Well it says "Metroidvania". I think you can derive which kind of 2.5D from that.
Oh no, Pokemon US actually wanted you to market their product correctly so players weren't confused on naming conventions.
The audacity!
I read the article, and I'm still not sure, what exactly does "HD" game entail?
It can't just be HD-2D games, or HD remasters. Because Star Ocean 2 R and Romancing SaGa 2 are really the only ones this year.
So I'm guessing it's literally every console HD game? Rebirth, Visions of Mana, etc.?
Better how? How is power limiting the gameplay of either of those franchises?
Is the only thing holding back your Xenoblade experience, the amount of tufts of grass you can see in the overworld at one time?
They'd probably be more fun games.
Because like Nintendo's first party games, they'd be focusing on fun rather than visuals that become outdated in a matter of years.
FFX and FF13 are really good examples of this. Very limited, hollow gameplay whose only real calling card was looking great for the times they were released in.
And it's funny, because there is a sizeable amount of fans who thought the games peaked with 6, ...
Oh! Well if renowned movie Advent Children does something, it must be a good idea!
I like how your list was so barren you just added "DS" to it, to fill it out.
There's like 4 original DS games ported to Switch, and pretty much all of those were remakes or significant HD rehauls, like TWEWY or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
Uh, because it's a dead series to begin with?
And besides, what logic have YOU provided to explain why it would work? What single player arcade games are flying off the shelves right now?
To me, 6 seems absolutely tailor made for HD2D treatment.
I would not be surprised to see the team making DQ3's remake, tackle it soon after they're done.
Very fitting. Unmemorable music for an unmemorable, blandification of what was a unique, competent game.
Here's the history of FF7:
They made one great game.
Then they spent 25 years milking it.
Every subsequent F-Zero sold worse than the prior.
If it's a flagship title, I think the flag will sink with the ship.
"Relying? Where is Metroid? Seriously, how could Nfans be so delisional? Where are the good games Nintendo gets so praised about?"
You mean Metroid Dread? Y'know, the recent Metroid game that was critically and commercially successful?
It's literally built on the GoldenEye engine.
You're going to have to explain how you think GoldenEye feels good to play, but Perfect Dark doesn't.
