Nintendo and TPC seek 10m Yen in damages.

News on Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair had gone quiet over the past few weeks, but a new statement from the latter studio has shed some more light on the complaint — specifically, the patents Nintendo claims have been infringed upon and the prescribed fine.

In a new post on the Pocketpair website titled ‘Report on Patent Infringement Lawsuit’, the studio reveals that Nintendo’s claim pertains to three specific patents (7545191, 7493117 and 7528390), all of which were applied for between February and July 2024.

Cheeky cheeky.

With the launch of Nintendo Music, fans now have a legitimate opportunity to check out some of the very best soundtrack’s from Nintendo’s storied history. Yes, it’s a bit barebones at the moment, but we’ve no doubt it will be expanded upon significantly in the coming months and years.

It seems that The Big N is pretty keen on newcomers diving into its new app, too. According to a couple of accounts from Matthew Reynolds on Bluesky and user Jolemei96 on Reddit, Nintendo is actually hosting advertisements for Nintendo Music over on the streaming service Spotify.

Tactically at odds with itself.

Metal Slug Tactics has felt like it has taken way too long to finally release. More than three years after its initial reveal, the game is finally here and it’s a bold but confused take on the tactics genre that has some big strengths. But, those are counterbalanced with a number of roadblocks and obstacles that often get in the way of the enjoyment you can have with it.

To start things off, this reviewer is coming at this as a turn-based tactics fan with no personal history with the Metal Slug series. When it comes to offering something for genre fans, Metal Slug Tactics succeeds, mostly. The game is actually structured as a roguelike, so you and up to two other characters you select from the Peregrine Falcons will head out and take on various, small missions in isometric grids one by one until you gain full control of an area of the map.

Plus, Mass Effect’s Normandy returns.

You’ve got to hand it to No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games, that team sure knows how to roll out the updates. Just weeks after the spooky ‘Cursed’ update landed, another patch is set to blast off today with cross-save features as its headline addition.

Starting today, Hello Games is rolling out cross-save compatibility to a select number of No Man’s Sky players, so you can bring your Switch progress wherever you want to play. Now, this is an in-progress rollout, so not everyone will have access straight away. All players can now link their different accounts on the No Man’s Sky cross-save website, with a small group able to select their saves from multiple devices. Hello Games says that all players will be able to do the same in “the coming weeks”, so keep watching the stars.

No cap.

Stardew Valley‘s long-awaited 1.6 update finally bloomed onto Switch earlier this week, bringing a bumper crop of new additions to the beloved farm sim. This included things like new festivals, floating items and fresh farm layouts, but it also seems to have bundled in its fair share of performance issues, something that creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has been suggesting temporary fixes for while he works on permanent solutions.

The latest suggestion might be the funniest (if most heartbreaking) yet, and honestly, we’ve got to take our hats off — or, more accurately, take our pets’ hats off — to ConcernedApe for coming up with it. Yep, if you want a temporary fix to 1.6 performance issues in Stardew, it seems you’ll have to remove all your pets’ wonderful headwear.
