Pocketpair Releases Overdungeon on Nintendo Switch During Legal Dispute with Nintendo

The developer's 2019 roguelike card game makes a surprise console debut as its legal battle over Palworld continues.

Pocketpair's Overdungeon, a roguelike card game with tower defense elements, has launched on the Nintendo Switch, marking its first console release since its 2019 debut on PC.
The release comes as Pocketpair faces an ongoing lawsuit from Nintendo and Pokemon Company over alleged patent infringements related to its game Palworld.
The lawsuit focuses on mechanics in Palworld, including throwing spheres to summon creatures, which Pocketpair has recently modified in response to the legal claims.
The unexpected availability of Overdungeon on the Switch raises questions about the current relationship between Pocketpair and Nintendo despite the pending legal dispute.
Overdungeon is priced at $14.99 on the Nintendo eShop and has been well-received on Steam, drawing comparisons to popular deck-building games like Slay the Spire.
