Miitomo data mining may show images from Fire Emblem mobile game
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 15 Comments
Ehm2k from The Cutting Room Floor has been data mining Miitomo, and has come across some curious images in the process. These files seem to be for the upcoming Fire Emblem game for mobile. We’re able to see a map, a stone monument which seems related to the series, and more.
The Cutting Room Floor definitely knows its stuff when it comes to data mining and other things of that nature. It’s also fairly likely that the images are indeed for the Fire Emblem title, as one of them contains the same emblem from Nintendo’s previously-released logo. There were some Zelda files spotted as well, but nothing currently points to them being related to upcoming projects – only old games instead.

Nintendo files Excite Truck trademark in the U.S.
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 3 Comments
Last Thursday, a trademark for Excite Truck was filed on the behalf of Nintendo of America. It then entered the Trademark Reporting and Monitoring System yesterday.
The filing will naturally set off speculation as to what Nintendo could be planning for Excite Truck – be it a re-release, a new game, or something else. On the other hand, the trademark could be for nothing at all. We unfortunately won’t have any way of knowing until something official pops up, if it ever does.
