Nintendo trademarks S.T.E.A.M. – Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace in Japan as well
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Last month, Nintendo picked up a trademark for something called “Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace”. This was a US filing. Now the same name has been registered in Japan. I wonder if we’ll hear something about this trademark at E3 in a couple of weeks
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Oxygen Media astroturfing Fit Music for Wii U on Miiverse?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U eShop | 10 Comments
Fit Music for Wii U arrived on the North American Wii U eShop this Thursday. Unfortunately, it’s not very good.
Oxygen Media might be making things worse for themselves by astroturfing on Miiverse. At this point, many believe that the company is promoting Fit Music for Wii U in a secretive way and trying to marketing the game virally.
Check out the above comment for example. That comes from Mario Spiniello… who just so happens to be “a multimedia specialist” for Oxygen Media. There are sadly plenty of similar comments like this, most of which come from Italy – where the company is based.
I can’t see this ending well!
