We’ve come across a new European trademark just filed by Namco Bandai yesterday. The company now owns “Mach Storm” – a name that is associated with Zoids, but that’s about it.

It should be noted that Mach Storm’s filing suggests some sort of relation to video games. There hasn’t been a new Zoids title in quite some time (plus it’d be bizarre to name something based on a Zoids battle team), so if this is something that is actually in development, it’s likely a brand new project and unrelated to the brand. Unless I’m missing something here…

Details from the latest NIntendo annual report have come in, and it gives some interesting figures that really put things in perspective:

– Over the past 30 years, Nintendo has sold 653 million units of hardware.

– 268 million consoles, 385 million handhelds
– 2.195 billion units of software sold on home consoles
– 1.907 billion units of software for handhelds
– Software numbers include download software and bundled software

To put things in perspective: That works out to nearly 60,000 units of hardware sold every day on average, and nearly 375,000 units of software sold per day on average. The average software tie ratio? 6 games per unit of hardware.

That’s a lot of merchandise. Wowza.

People continue to ask Bethesda about potential support for Wii U, but the answer doesn’t change. It’s the same as it always has been: the console just isn’t in the publisher’s plans.

Once again, Bethesda’s current slate – The Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and The Evil Within aren’t coming to Wii U.

Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines explained to Joystiq that the lack of support is “largely a hardware thing.” As far as whether the company will bring titles to Wii U in the future, Hines said: “I can’t say for sure, in our near-term focus it’s not on our radar.”

“None of the game’s we’ve announced are being developed for the Wii U, so it’s guaranteed that none of those games are coming to Wii U. Will any future ones come out? I can’t say for sure, in our near-term focus it’s not on our radar.”

“It’s largely a hardware thing. (Bethesda’s mantra is to) make the games that we want to make, on whatever platforms will support them as developed.”

Hines added that “it remains to be seen what the future holds.”
