Earlier this month, a trademark for “Fighters of Capcom” was registered. Capcom filed the name on November 8.

One possibility is that the trademark could be the localized name for Capcom All Stars With Everyone, a Japanese mobile card game RPG. Or maybe it’s something brand new.

Dark Horse, the publisher of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia in North America, is changing the art book’s cover.

Take a look below.

Dark Horse editor Patrick Thorpe explained the decision to change the cover:

“This is the official cover for the North American version of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia. The logo and gold colored design elements will be gold foil stamped. The large symbol on the cover is the Gate of Time from Skyward Sword. We felt that it was appropriate for a number of reasons. Hyrule Historia is a history book, not only about the development of the games, but the history of Hyrule as well. We wanted the reader to feel like they were stepping through the gate, back in time, and experiencing all aspects of the Legend of Zelda. As keen-eyed Zelda fans will tell you, the three symbols surrounding the triforce are the symbols of the three goddesses who… well, I’ll let you read the book to find out their signifance. But we loved the gate’s symbol because it is fraught with meaning, much of which is explained in different sections of the book, and appear again and again throughout the series. One of the other reasons is that there are Skyward Sword sections that bookend Hyrule Historia. It felt appropriate to put a symbol from the 25th anniversary game on the cover. I hope that you all like it as much as we do.”

What do you think about the updated image? Like it? Hate it?

David Yarnton has finally been replaced (nooooo!) and Nintendo of Europe has a new general manager: Simon Kemp. Kemp does not come from a background of gaming companies, but instead worked in television and business marketing departments. Even still, he has the “Nintendo is the best” chit chat style down already:

“I’m extremely excited to be joining Nintendo UK at such a pivotal moment. With the launch of Wii U Nintendo is once again changing the way everyone will play games at home, it’s a fantastic time to be here. Nintendo UK also has an extremely talented team in place already and I am very much looking forward to leading & working with each and every one of them.” – Nintendo of Europe general manager Simon Kemp

I wonder how soon after they’re hired Nintendo teaches their employees the “changing the way everyone will play games” line…

Guild01’s original retail release in Japan consisted of four games. Three of these titles in total will be released on the North American and European 3DS eShops – Liberation Maiden, Aero Porter, and Crimson Shroud.

The question is, what happened to that last game? “Omasse Rental Weapon Shop” hasn’t been confirmed for overseas territories yet.

Level-5 says there are two hurdles in the way of a western release: the amount of text and Japanese culture. While the company is considering localization, Omasse Rental Weapon Shop is “extremely text-heavy, and it functions on the expressive power of its text and language.” Level-5 is also considering “whether or not a large enough audience outside of Japan would appreciate a game that relies so heavily on knowledge of Japanese culture.”
