The Nintendo Switch 2 debuted in June to become the fastest-selling hardware ever in the U.S., shooting spending on games to new monthly records, according to the monthly report from Circana.
How about patenting things that weren’t patented before, in order to use those things as weapons in court because another company dared to also make a cutsey-critter game?
How about not issuing notice to Pocketpair for them to correct said issues before filing a patent in the first place?
How about over-broad patent descriptions and the targeting of indie game developers?
How about their alteration of their patent mid-litigation?
Nintendo rarely goes after other companies for patents. They have tons of patents which can probably be used to sue half the games available these days. They do go after others very aggressively where their IP or trademark is concerned.
Pocketpair is one of the exception, though that case has it’s own nuances, and they aren’t such a small “indie developer” (have backing of companies like Sony, which has it’s own history with Nintendo)

Your reply reeks of ignorance.

They didn’t get the backing of Sony until much later.
It was before the case started, IIRC.
Nintendo already announced their intent far before the case was filed.
