Nintendogs mobile patent

Headlines and forum posts may have you thinking that Nintendogs is set to appear on mobile following a patent filing. While it’s possible Nintendo has something in development, things aren’t quite what they seem.

We’ve been taking an especially cautious approach to filings and trademarks over the past few years since they’re given way more weight than they should. Essentially, it’s pretty rare that anything substantial actually comes from them.
