but Splatoon has a fairly unique game mechanic, being able to swim through ink that you shoot being the primary one. That seems like something Nintendo could easily sue over.

~~Game mechanics can't be patented, only game assets (character models, etc)~~ I'm wrong!

Game assets can't be patented. Patents are for concepts, copyright and trademarks are for specific things like assets.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
