You may have expected Puzzles & Dragons Z to be a Japanese-only release. However, GungHo Online Entertainment has confirmed plans to bring the game to North America. CEO Kazuki Morishita confirmed to Siliconera that its American branch will launch the 3DS title stateside.
Nintendo Did Not Infringe Motiva’s Patents
REDMOND, Wash., May 13, 2013 – The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld Nintendo’s victory in a patent infringement case brought by Motiva, LLC against Nintendo at the International Trade Commission. The Court of Appeals agreed with the ITC that Motiva had failed to satisfy the agency’s domestic industry requirement. The ITC had also ruled that Nintendo did not infringe Motiva’s patents.
“We are very pleased with this result. The court confirmed that Motiva’s sole activity, litigation against Nintendo, did not satisfy the ITC’s domestic industry requirement,” said Richard Medway, Nintendo of America’s deputy general counsel. “Nintendo has a passionate tradition of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent.”

Two ratings on the OFLC back up previous findings from European classification boards.
First up, Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning has been added to the OFLC database, with Zen United listed as publisher. This backs up a similar discovery from the USK. The OFLC also rated Kokuga much like the original listing over at the USK.
One other random note: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. The 3DS title has a slightly different name in Europe and Australia.
As many of you know, Take-Two Interactive secured the WWE licence from THQ a couple of months back. The company has been far from a big Wii U supporter having put out just one title for the console – NBA 2K13 – through its 2K Sports subsidiary. Although we’ve seen WWE titles on Nintendo platforms since the launch of SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, it would appear that there are no plans to bring the latest entry, WWE 2K14, to the Wii U and Wii. If anything, a release on Nintendo platforms is certainly looking unlikely at the moment.
Take-Two’s latest financial results make no mention of WWE 2K14 for any Nintendo system – only the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are listed. Retailers such as Amazon
also make no mention of a Wii U/Wii version.
Take-Two/2K Sports haven’t made any announcements, so we won’t know for sure until something official is shared. Still, this is worrisome at the moment.
