Square Enix trademarks Collection of Mana in Japan
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In Japan, Square Enix has filed a trademark for “Collection of Mana”. The thought here is that this could be a possible name for the localization of Seiken Densetsu Collection. However, what makes things a bit out of the ordinary is the country of origin for the trademark – Japan, rather than a territory such as the United States or Europe.
Seiken Densetsu Collection launched in Japan back in June 2017. The package includes the first three games in the Mana series – Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden), Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2), and Seiken Densetsu 3. The third entry has never released outside of Japan.

Rumor: Microsoft planning Xbox Game Pass and more for Switch
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
A couple of years ago, Microsoft started a gaming subscription service known as Xbox Game Pass. By paying a certain amount, players can gain access to a library of Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles. Rumor has it that Xbox Game Pass will be making its way to Switch in the future – and possibly more from Microsoft.
The speculation originated from Direct-Feed Games, who claims that an Xbox app is in the works for Switch. This would support Xbox Game Pass and the Project xCloud streaming service. The latter could allow for titles that wouldn’t be technically possible on Switch by streaming them online. Game Informer backs up some of these claims and has heard that “the announcement of Game Pass on Switch could come as soon as this year.”
