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.

Wouldn't a game mechanic/animation like that be equivalent to a stunt in a movie?

Like, imagine if a film director wanted to blow up a car in his movie, but was getting sued by Paramount because Michael Bay already blew up a car in Transformers.

Glide with a glider in your inventory like Zelda? Is that patented?

I wonder how much of this game they can force them to change. I know Steam has a 2 hour limit for returns but at what point does this game become “not the game I bought”?

Make it so that you can give the glider pal skins.

The last Nintendo console I bought was the Nintendo DS lite. The last Nintendo product I bought was Age of Empires DS The Age of Kings.

As you can probably tell, that was a rather long time ago. Since getting my first TTDS flash card I've more or less exclusively pirated Nintendo things. I'll just continue doing that.

News like this isn't giving me any remorse.
