Pocketpair Would Love to Release Palworld on Nintendo Switch 2, Despite Pokémon Legal Battle

The legal battle between Nintendo and Pocketpair is ongoing, but the Palworld developer hasn’t ruled out a Switch 2 version of its creature collecting survival game. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are currently embroiled in ongoing litigation with Pocketpair in Japan, with patents that revolve around how Pokémon games work at the heart of the lawsuit. IP experts have indicated that Nintendo may only receive a $30,000 payout if it wins, but it's looking increasingly likely that Nintendo will lose.
