The Last Story trademark has been registered in the US

Nintendo of America has registered a trademark for The Last Story in the United States. Technically it was registered back in 2010, but the company finally received it earlier this week. To be honest, I doubt this means anything, but at least it renews hope somewhat. At this point I’d be amazed if The Last Story, Xenoblade, or Pandora’s Tower were released in North America.
