mizuki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 years agobut Splatoon has a fairly unique game mechanic, being able to swim through ink that you shoot being the primary one. That seems like something Nintendo could easily sue over.

Game mechanics can’t be patented, only game assets (character models, etc)

Game assets can’t be patented. Patents are for concepts, copyright and trademarks are for specific things like assets.
