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.

Dennis just recently managed to get his hands on Super Mario Maker. A review will be coming a bit later, but we wanted to take the opportunity to show the game to you guys later this week.

We’re currently planning on live streaming Super Mario Maker for about an hour on Thursday via our YouTube channel. It may change to Twitch, but we’ll keep you updated before the event begins.

Our stream should kick off at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT. An archived version will also be made available soon after.

In terms of the stream, definitely let us know if there’s anything particular that you’d like to see and whatnot. There are some limitations in terms of elements that we’re allowed to show (mainly amiibo), but we’ll take everything into consideration!
