    If I recall, a bandai namco patent stopped us from getting mini games during loading screens. Hell, if Nintendo had their way, we wouldn’t have any sort of capture mechanic in anything other than pokemon.

      It’s not their fault. I mean fuck them, but it’s really the fault of the patent offices that allow such horseshit.

      also the best thing about the minigame patent is that it lasted just long enough for loading screens to become too short to justify coding minigames for the sole purpose of filling that time.
