With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

That would be a nice "fuck you," but it's probably not worth the extra effort to them.

The spectacle of it would certainly boost sales for a little bit. How much and whether it covers the development time, who knows.

I'd do it on principle alone, but I'm a petty bitch.

It would be neat if modders put all the "patent-infringing" stuff back in.

That's another thing if they could allow specific api and opensource those parts they remove so someone can create mod that brings all of this back. Like we removed it but we make those things opensource, do what you want, we don't care. It's not in paid version of our app.

I'm sure they will.

And as long as none of them try profiting off it, Nintendo has no leg to stand on with their usual C&D bullshit.
