Before the system’s launch, Nintendo was unable to register WiiU.com as it was already picked up by somebody else back in 2004. The company is now looking to acquire the domain.
One report has surfaced indicating that Nintendo has filed a cybersquatting complaint with World Intellectual Property Forum. It sounds like it’ll be a somewhat arduous task to track down the current owner, but there will likely be a resolution in the near future.
Shin Megami Tensei IV has a release date. This week’s Famitsu confirms that Atlus will begin publishing the title on May 23. All first-print copies will come with a sound & art collection.
Also announced in Famitsu, a special 3DS XL system is in the works. It features an original design and comes with Shin Megami Tensei IV pre-installed.
