"Nintendo has not had any contact with the Japanese government about generative AI": The Switch maker shoots down rumors, but insists it'll keep fighting "infringement of our intellectual property"

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Despite rumors to the contrary, Nintendo has denied lobbying the Japanese government to regulate generative AI but - surprise, surprise - the company that filed a lawsuit against Palworld over its Pokemon similarities says it'll keep taking action against IP infringement.

The rumors first ran wild after Japanese politician Satoshi Asano claimed the console maker was lobbying the government to protect its IP against AI - a claim he's since retracted and apologized for on social media. Satoshi has since deleted his original post due to misinformation. (Thanks, Eurogamer.)
