Nintendo Everything

Super Mario Maker will soon be adding yet another new costume. Nintendo uploaded a new video for the Tanooki Suit Statue, which you can find below.

This costume should be going live tomorrow evening in North America. If you’re in Europe, expect it in the very early morning on Friday.

Update: Added in the official high-quality upload.

A new trailer for Pokemon: The Movie – Volcanion and The Ingenious Magearna debuted on Oha Suta a short while ago. The recording of the video can be seen below.

Dutch website N1ntendo, an outlet with a fairly decent reputation, claims to have information about tomorrow’s European Nintendo Direct. There is some reason to be skeptical, and there is no guarantee that all of the items posted will be presented during tomorrow’s broadcast. That being said, now that we’re aware of Capcom’s Monster Hunter Generations trademark which was included in N1ntendo’s leak, there is a reason to share the rumored lineup (which may or may not be incomplete).

Here’s a look at what N1ntendo posted:

Earlier today, Capcom filed a trademark for Monster Hunter Generations in Europe. It is thought that this could be the final English name for Monster Hunter X with an official announcement during tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct.

Capcom itself is not mentioned specifically in the filing when accessed by the public. However, NerdLeaks notes that it can “guarantee” the company is behind the listing “thanks to the representative name and a deeper research.”

Here’s a look at the trademark from the European database:

Yesterday, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals found that the Wii console does not infringe patents asserted by UltimatePointer, LLC. In the process, Nintendo’s win in a Seattle Federal court is confirmed. UltimatePointer had claimed that the Wii infringed patent numbers 8,049,729 and 7,746,321.

Also as determined by the Seattle Court and confirmed by the Appeals Court, UltimatePointer will be required to pay some of Nintendo’s attorney fees. UltimatePointer engaged in “bad faith, vexatious, [and] wanton” conduct when deciding to accuse products it had not investigated and that, in some cases, did not exist.

Ajay Singh, Director of Litigation and Compliance at Nintendo of America, said of today’s news:

“We are very happy with this result. This case again demonstrates that Nintendo will vigorously defend itself and its innovations against patent lawsuits. It also demonstrates that, when justified, Nintendo will pursue all available options to recover attorney fees for improper litigation conduct. Nintendo continues to support reform efforts to reduce the unnecessary and inefficient burden patent cases like this one place on technology companies in the United States.”
