It isn’t clear when the filing was made, but Capcom possesses a trademark for “Ninja Arms” in Japan. As you would expect, the filing is video game-related.

Famitsu will have an “amazing” scoop in its next issue. Maybe the magazine will be unveiling Ninja Arms?

Lucasfilm registers domains, files trademarks for “Star Wars: First Assault”

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Lucasfilm recently registered a number of domain names for “Star Wars: First Assault”. That was followed up by a couple of US trademarks.

It seems that First Assault could be video game-related. Both filings mainly pertain to “interactive entertainment software”. Other goods, such as pencil cases and pencil sharpeners, are mentioned in the trademarks.

LucasArts, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, hasn’t announced anything for Star Wars: First Assault yet. With these new discoveries though, we could be hearing something soon.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 DLC still on the way

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast lacked information on downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. 2. It’s still on the way, but president Satoru Iwata asked players for a little extra time. He noted how the game only came out overseas less than two weeks ago.

When the DLC is ready to be unveiled, Nintendo will make a global announcement. In other words, details will be sent through the North American, European, and Japanese divisions at the same time.

Iwata also reconfirmed Nintendo’s new stance to release all 3DS retail games on the eShop. Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone! and Animal Crossing: Jump Out will both be available on the store when they’re ready to go in Japan. Iwata personally likes the idea of having these titles on the home menu.

Famitsu will reveal “amazing” scoop next week

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Famitsu has gone slightly overboard with its next magazine teaser. The publication will supposedly be unveiling an “amazing” scoop for its September 6 issue. Famitsu will have the latest on other Capcom titles as well including DmC Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 6.

Along with the Capcom scoop, Famitsu will publish an article on Level-5. Whereas the Capcom teaser seems to hint at a big announcement of some sort, it isn’t clear if the feature will contain any big reveals.

The World Ends with You director says there are “a variety of other things” in the works

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Square Enix officially announced The World Ends with You: Solo Remix a couple of days ago. For fans of the series, the news came as a bit of a disappointment since there were high hopes for a brand new entry rather than a port/remake.

Director Tatsuya Kando was interviewed by Famitsu this week and apologized to those who have been waiting for “new developments” regarding The World Ends with You. He also teased that there are “a variety of other things” in the works.

He said:

“For those who were waiting for new developments for TWEWY, sorry to have kept you waiting. Solo Remix is a game with such a high level of completion that you won’t feel that it’s a port. If you play it and post Tweets to Twitter, the world will expand even further. We’re working on a variety of other things, but first please enjoy Solo Remix.”

So… does that mean we can expect a brand new The World Ends with You title in the future? Nah… let’s not go there – best not to create any hype!
