    It’s not like that would stop Nintendo. Japanese patent law is much less strict on the concept of prior art. IIRC, you can essentially tack new claims onto old patents and the Japanese patent office will treat the result as if the new claims had been patented by you all along. They did that against Pocketpair already.
