Namco Bandai trademarks “Empire of Dreams”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
In Japan, Namco Bandai has registered a new trademark for “Empire of Dreams”. The name was registered on October 29th and published in the database today.
Does Empire of Dreams sound familiar? It should if you’re a Klonoa fan. Namco released Klonoa: Empire of Dreams for the Game Boy Advance well over a decade ago. Could this filing be at all related?

Monster Hunter 4 sales surpass three million in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Monster Hunter 4 has now sold over three million copies in Japan. The game is selling at a rate of roughly 40,000 copies each week.
Famitsu wrote in its latest issue:
“With the tenth anniversary of the franchise approaching, 2014 should be an even more exciting year for MH than ever before. MH4 continues to generate a lot of attention in the market, and we can expect sales to continue going forward. Going into the holiday season, the newly-improved MH4 will likely have even more of a performance to show us.”
I’m assuming the latest news coming from Famitsu is different from Capcom’s announcement last month. The publisher had announced that Monster Hunter 4 shipments had exceeded three million. Famitsu’s article seems to apply to actual sales rather than shipments.
