Trademarks aren’t typically as newsworthy as most make them out to be, but a couple of interesting filings recently popped up that we thought were worth sharing.
First up is Sonic Frontiers from SEGA, which was filed in Japan. We know that the company has a new Sonic title coming up in 2022, and this may very well be the name of the project. SEGA announced the new game back in May, but other than a very short teaser trailer that didn’t show much at all, the company has been keeping quiet. It goes without saying that we’ll be hearing more once 2021 is finished.
We’ll also mention that Y School Heroes has received a trademark in the United States. Level-5 made the first filing in July, though it was properly made public in October. There’s been no announcements currently, but we can’t help wonder if Yo-kai Watch Jam: Yo-kai Academy Y – Waiwai Gakuen Seikatsu is being considered for localization in the west. It originally released in Japan back in August 2020, but there’s been no word on any sort of English release.
Thanks to Greatsong1 for the tip.

Following a previous appearance on mobile, developer Odencat has announced that the angling RPG Fishing Paradiso will be appearing on Switch. The game will be available in early 2022.
Fishing Paradiso has a simple premise, as you’ll just “kick back, catch some fish, and level up your gear as you fulfill requests and advance the story at your own pace.” You follow the protagonist who awakens one day in Heaven where he finds strange and wondrous varieties of fish to collect as well as recently deceased souls to befriend. Odencat also made Bear’s Restaurant, and it sounds like faces from that title will be popping up here.
