    Because I guess Nintendo has now trademarked the act of “throwing” in a videogame

      Literally read some of their patents. Its all shit like “System For Switching From Character To Vehicle In Top-Down 2D Environment”. Like how tf can you actually patent a model and (software) controller swap? Shits basic AF I have done that before.

        At one point didn’t accompany have a patent over an interactive loading screen?

        Which is why loading screens in games have been boring for years, because actually having any kind of thing to do while the game loads is apparently banned.

    Just change it to a Pal Cube or some other shape that’s more fun than a fucking sphere. Problem solved.

      I’ve said it before. Well they need to replace it with a “pal decahedron”. You have to get real close to realize it isn’t a sphere.

        What about a pal boomerang? The retrieval would make more sense too.

        What’s the 3D version of an oval?
