Wanna see Palworld as a Nintendo DS game?
Weâre still not sure whatâs happening with Palworld regarding Nintendoâs investigation of the game. I mean, we all know itâs been heavily inspired by PokĂ©mon, but if you want to see it veer even closer, a recent demake project really makes the world look like PokĂ©mon.
As spotted by WCCFTech, YouTube channel 64 Bits recently uploaded a proof-of-concept video that shows what Palworld would look like as a DS game. This includes giving it the retro look and top-down view youâd imagine it would have if it was released on the Nintendo console.
In fact, the description under the video says the team was heavily inspired by âPokĂ©mon Ranger, Black, White, Diamond, Pearl, basically all the DS PokĂ©mon titles.â However, theyâve also taken some cues from the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
A plethora of your preferred pixelated pals The video itself really does show what Palworld could potentially look like if it was truly styled after older entries in Nintendoâs dominant IP. Itâs actually quite cute. However, it should be noted that it is just a video. As far as I can tell, thereâs no attempt to actually demake the game in this manner.
Nor would anyone likely dare. If Nintendo is keen on pursuing Pocketpair over copyright issues, thereâs no way the community would risk litigation by making their own similarly-inspired project.
As for the game itself, it feels like weâre passing through the tail end of Palworldâs initial popularity. The studio is still sending out updates, but weâre probably not going to see another uptick until the game fully releases, whenever thatâs going to be.
