    How tf do you patent "the movement of movable dynamic objects placed in the virtual space is controlled by physics calculations, and the movement of the player’s character is controlled by user input. When the player’s character and a dynamic object come in contact in the downward direction relative to the character (in other words, when the character is on top of an object), the movement of the dynamic object is added to the movement of the player’s character.”

    Lol I'm pretty sure that's how a lot of games calculate standing on a vehicle. Nintendo being patent trolls for no reason no way this gets granted

      Next Nintendo patent: "The player is able to see a render of the game as pixels on a screen. Input from the player affects the render, giving the illusion of movement the player controls."

      Adversarial legal system. Most people can't afford to fight you, so you can bully whoever in to submission.
