It's a self aggrandizing way of presenting it, but depending on what patent nintendo is attacking them over, they're 100% correct. Patenting game mechanics is always a bad thinh for gaming as a whole, and the less courts allow this shit to fly the better

Nintendo sucks and copyright sucks, but wtf were they expecting? Some of their designs are just blatant rip offs of Pokémon. Why waste money fighting this?

At least it will maybe distract Nintendo's lawyers from non-commercial fan projects.
