A trademark for Pokken Tournament was registered in Europe 2 days ago. It’s not clear from the trademark itself whether this for the arcade version or a possible Wii U port, but the former seems more likely. The trademark holder is the Pokemon Company, not Nintendo, who usually register the trademarks for the Pokemon games.

Also, the trademark mentions the following:

Near field communication (NFC) technology-enabled devices, namely, key chain tags, key chains, key fobs, key tags, key rings and key holders, and figurines, to facilitate the transmission and recording and exchange of video game content.

You might be inclined to think that this refers to amiibo, but in Japan, Pokken arcade machines also have NFC functionality with something called BANA Passport, a card where users can store saved game data and transfer them from one arcade machine to another.

Either way, we’ll have to wait until an official announcement from Nintendo until we know for sure. We will keep you posted.

Liam Robertson of Unseen64 fame has once again uncovered something interesting. In a video published on Nintendo Life, he reveals that Spanish developer Mercury Steam, who worked on the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, started working on a first-person Metroid game for both Wii U and 3DS. Samus was the main character, but you were also able to play as seven other bounty hunters. Supposedly they pitched this prototype to Nintendo but were turned down. The current state of the project is unknown, though Liam believes that they stripped the Metroid IP from the project and instead turned it into a new IP.

Obviously none of this is 100% confirmed, but Liam Robertson has a pretty good track record when it comes to uncovered info about cancelled games.

The Great Ace Attorney has been out in Japan for a couple of weeks now. Recently, an official character poll was conducted where fans could vote on their favorites. Capcom has now published the results – the most popular character is Kazuma Asougi, a close friend of main character Naruhodou Ryuunosuke, who himself only came in fourth. Second place is claimed by Sherlock Holmes and Barok Van Zieks, the rival prosecutor of this game, placed third. Check out the full results in the gallery below.

There is still no word on a Western release date for this game. Hopefully we’ll hear about it soon.

In addition to showing off a mysterious new Pokemon, the latest issue of CoroCoro also has some new info regarding Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. In this game, you can break through dungeon walls with Mega Evolution, allowing you to create new paths.

Another new feature are items called Lapis. They are items that give you temporary boosts while you’re in a dungeon, but disappear when you leave the dungeon.

Higher quality scans will likely pop up sometime this week. We will keep you posted.
