Nintendo’s Palworld lawsuit shrinks to $30K as Palworld 1.0 gears up
TL;DR Summary
Public records show Nintendo’s patent case against Palworld creator Pocketpair is effectively winding down: damages are capped at 5 million yen (about $30,000) and Nintendo’s ability to halt Palworld’s current versions is minimal as Palworld 1.0 launches on July 10 after patches that narrow the claims. The Tokyo District Court hearing is set for Oct 1, 2026 with a formal opinion due Nov 9, 2026; Nintendo’s broader patent-litigation costs have been substantial, but Pocketpair continues toward a major 1.0 release.
