Notably, all this is not yet disclosed by Nintendo themselves and is still in a speculative stage. But as leaked by industry insider Jeff Grubb, it is possible that the rumored Nintendo Direct event might shed some light on this. Notably, this can be the reason why the game has been delayed by the developers till next year, making it clear that is because of this sudden change of plans by Nintendo.

What is so special about the patent?

As asked by a Twitter user named Jake (@ThinMint117) the question arises: what is so special about the patent? This is because it is common for games to have airborne shooting sections in video games.

Thus the answer given by insider Paul Gale (@PaulGaleNetwork) is that the game might be going for a much better dynamic of aerial combat. The fact that Nintendo also pioneered Z-Targeting for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a very good example of this.
