Nintendo’s Palworld Lawsuit Suffers a Big Blow

Nintendo’s lawsuit against the developers of the game Palworld, Pocketpair, recently hit a snag.

The two companies have been in court since 2024, with Nintendo seeking around $33,000 in damages based on three patents. However, the JPO determined that one of those patents wasn’t innovative enough to be granted – meaning Nintendo couldn’t prove it was a unique invention at the time it was filed. The JPO pointed to similar games like ARK, Monster Hunter 4, and Pokémon GO as evidence.

DC’s Thor Replacement Has Always Been More Interesting Than Marvel’s Original

Both Thor and Orion, powerful superhero figures, were shaped by the work of comic book legend Jack Kirby. At Marvel, Kirby teamed up with Stan Lee to create Thor, who first appeared in 1962. Later, seeking more creative control, Kirby moved to DC Comics in 1971. There, he developed his most ambitious project: the Fourth World and the New Gods. This introduced a new group of deities split between the forces of good, led by Highfather on the planet New Genesis, and the evil forces of Darkseid on the planet Apokolips. Orion, a key character from this series and intended to be DC’s answer to Thor, is the New God of War and Darkseid’s son.
