Patents are the reason we don't have mini games during loading screens. The patent is now expired afaik but I guess we just collectively decided we don't care because nobody does it anymore.

If Nintendo can get a court to side with them, then it is totally worth it for them to own an entire genre. As a consumer/gamer, this sucks. There is a reason this game blew up and it has nothing to do with Nintendo.
