It's been a good while since I played, but I thought you rode the pals to fly? How can they have a patent on riding flying things?
Riding is unaffected, it's only hang gliding that got removed. But it makes just as little sense in that context. None of this patent trolling is justifiable, Nintendo is just using the broken Japanese patent law system to crush competition from smaller companies making better games.
Especially since that's a thing that almost every MMORPG does too.
