Trademarking a title for legal purposes is one of the steps a game has to go through before it's brought over and released (or well, made at all). If it's trademarked in America, there's a good chance that the company intends to release it in this territory.

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the explanation. So for what other reason would NOA trademark TLS other than with the intention of wanting to bring it over?
-
Has anyone here already tried the Netflix on the 3DS? I just downloaded it on the eShop and I started the application from the home menu. And it's been on the loading screen for a long time. Is that normal?
-
Coolio thanks a lot :)
I really hope Pandora's Tower is confirmed for (if anything) EU release!http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=30703&p=2294823&viewfull=1#post2294823

To safeguard the name in case they decided to release it.
We're talking about decisions made two years ago though, back when the wii wasn't sliding sales wise.

Got my Ocarina of Time soundtrack. Just waiting on my Club Nintendo platinum gift now. Though it says it won't ship until December, so I suppose I will be waiting a while.
-
Yeah, the Platinum gifts take their sweet time to come.
I don't think I actually got the Mario Figurine until like, 8 months after I placed the order for it.
-
I thought they were actually planning on putting up some new stuff for prizes so I waited. I guess I should spend all of my stars on that Mario one instead.
-
It's all about the Snes controller. Apart from that i find the only good thing is eshop points

Really depends on where he lives yeah. Some stores in the UK were doing 3DS + Zelda for £179.99 a few weeks back. Considering I paid just under £200 for the 3DS on it's lonesome it's not bad of a deal.
Well i live in the Netherlands.
And all Nintendo games are still around that price here.. Even the gamecube (!) games are still expensive.
While both the 360 and ps3 games are alot cheaper. Most 1 year old ps3/360 games, go around for 20/30 euros here. -
Well, Last Story has apparently been trademarked by Nintendo of America (see Destructoid), so I'm sure some of you folks can breathe a little easier now.
They even have a trademark for Mother 3, it doesn't mean anything.
-

Must you crush their hopes? They really want the games.
-
Looks like they still have 'no plans' for them in US :/
-
I dont know, but when reading that reply, it says nothing about them having "no plans" on releasing the games. It just seems like they dont have "new information" about any announcements…
but I still have hope :) -
About Star Fox 64 3D:
I think Star Fox is pretty cool, but instead of remaking the Nintendo 64 game, they should have just made a completely new Star Fox for the 3DS. -
INFO IS GO!.
HYES! We get Pokemon scramble. I loved the original Wiiware title and now that this one has, I believe all the pokemons, I'll have so much fun! And It's out near my Birthday too.
Remember Miyamoto was talking about creating a new character awhile back? Well, he says that the Wiiu is perfect for it. So I'm guessing next year, we'll get some info on his project.
Even though capcom is getting a lot of flake now, they might show some games for the Wiiu during Tokyo game show in Sept. Though we have no idea what games it could be.
Miyamoto has decided to step down a bit with the development of the Wiiu, for newer and younger engineers. I could see this as a hit or miss move but that's me.
-
Super Pokemon Scramble US trailer, coming out on October, Europe date should be equal or close to that, yay.

I'm holding Miyamoto to that

Okay got my wii modded and everything but then something unexpected happened. When I loaded the foreign game via gecko and the Homebrew Channel it came on the screen in black and white!
Since I'm sure this isn't a glitch in the game itself I figure it must have something to do with the mod or the system. Can anyone help? -
is the new Nintendo Video channel worth downloading?
what kind of videos will it have -

It works for me, for almost every game. I'm using Wiiflow to load my games (from usb). -
ok checked out the new channel
its not really that intresting right now..
its mostly movies that somehow take a WHILE to download -

We have a Magic Trick thing (which doesn't even show you how to do the Magic Trick. Completely pointless) and Oscar's Oasis
Saying that. I noticed Mario Picross on the e-shop. So much awesome.

So apparently, Nintendo is releasing Mario 3DS in December. I think MK3ds was also confirmed for a holiday release.
There's the pic.
The Assassin's Creed for the WiiU is apparently going to be a new entry, so I guess it's WiiU exclusive.
http://wiiugo.com/assassins-creed-u-is-going-to-be-a-new-entry-in-the-series/
Also about the WiiU, it's being rumored that the WiiU will have downloadable Gamecube games to make up for the fact that the WiiU doesn't support Gamecube discs. Honestly, if it is true, I wouldn't be surprised. Due to the face the Wii supported the N64, so it makes sense for the Wiiu to support a ten year old console.

Edit: Herp derp derp, forgot a few things.
You guys remember when Nintendo of America talked about that Zelda concert? Well, you can get the tickets for $35 when they release,for the concert starting on October 21st and the concert tour will fully start in 2012. The October 21st concert is in Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles.
Star Fox 3ds moved up from a sunday to a friday in America. So I guess you can get your SF643DS two days early. Insomniac might develop for the WiiU as they're no longer Sony bound. The CEO seems to want to bring OverStrike if it isn't too late. And apparently MS moved the Xbox 720 to 2013 because of the WiiU.
-
How do I know when the concert is coming to Toronto?? I want to go to it for sure =D
-
Nintendo video is unimpressive so far. It would be awesome if you could just stream videos like from Youtube. You can watch Youtube videos on the Wii. I don't see why they didn't make it possible for the 3DS too.
-
Woke up this morning to find my 3DS had Nintendo Video, and it seems seems okay to me… nothing spectacular, though nothing really wrong with it either. One small annoyance though is the volume, though. I'm trying to watch the Captain America trailer and I can barely hear it despite having the system's volume turned all the way up.
Yeah, I'm really hoping to get YouTube on this thing soon, too.

Can't run plugins which it should.

Nintendo is thinking about remaking Majora's Mask for the 3DS if fan demand is high enough. I would love for this to happen because I never played the original version for some reason.

Hell freaking yes I hope it happens
-
Nintendo needs to pay gaming companies to do games instead of only getting Nintendo made games out(yup whinning again).
-
As long as it gets some sort of extra like a Master Quest I'd be happy. As much as I love Majora's Mask I dunno if I'd pay for a simple 3D + improved Graphics version. Unless it's cheaper.
-
I'm all for a Majora's Mask game. Gosh it was one of the first games I was ever hyped for when I was young! I remember anticipating just going to Wal-Mart to play the demo in the electronics section.
Then I worked really hard to get my broken N64 adaptor to work on the old TV, and then I went to great lengths to borrow the game from a friend.
When I finally got it (borrowed), I was soooo happy. All that effort was worth it.So ya, Miyamoto, this fan definitely wants a remake!
Plus a few extra goodies wouldn't hurt.
-
Majora's Mask for the 3DS?!
That's it Nintendo, just take my bank account. Take it all.
-
Majora's Mask is one of the few Zelda games I've never played, so I'm all for a remake!
-
Since I've never had a N64 I'd really appreciate a remake!

Did you have an expansion pak?
-
Oh yeah, Majoras Mask on the 3DS.
Now I really won't be able to sleep at night, seeing that creepy ass moon in 3D.

I thought Anju's grandmother was the scariest thing in it. Especially the noise she makes when talking to her.
The thing I love about Majora's mask is how much I love the world. Since it's smaller (kinda) than Ocarina it felt like there was so much more to do in each section and how they actually made you care about the minor chars. (I recall the Mummy Dad in the basement being really good.)
-
God, I love MM. Wouldn't buy a 3DS just to play a remake of it, but it's definitely one of my all-time favorites.
-
In some ways i think majoras mask was much better the ocarina of time so definatley

what on earth are you talking about.
First, that's not how 3rd parties work, and if you want Nintendo to publish rather than develop, they do that too much as it is.
But I think there are a healthy amount of 3rd party games for the 3DS. SSFIV, BlazBlue, Dead or Alive, Ghost Recon, Ridge Racer, RE: Mercenaries… and then Cave Story, RE: Revelations, Beyond the Labyrinth, Rayman Origins, and others in the future. Nintendo is handling 3rd parties very well on the 3DS.

people are just whiny. they will look at ds' lineup or ps3 or 360 or any other and list a LONG list of 3rd party games and say where is 3ds?
before you guys bitch about 3ds games, look at other systems' games in the same time frame. You can't compare a system that is 7 years old to one that is less than a year old.
-
I really expected the 3DS to be more of a success. So far, well, it hasn't. Not whining though

Dat music man. If anyone wants me to spoiler them, I will.
Edit: Spoilered.

Well, the device is still in its infancy, it's to be expected that things will be slow until more big name titles come out for it. 'cause right now there's only what, Street Fighter, Zelda…and anything else? Heck, most of the 3DS games on my radar either don't come out until Fall, or haven't been formerly announced yet.
-

Yes, please.
So anyway, Club Nintendo added some new prizes, and one of them is a giant AR card. Been debating all evening whether or not to go for it. It's only 200 points, and I have almost 800 now so I'd have plenty left over…

I'm definitely getting that giant AR card. None of the other prizes are even remotely interesting to me.

I heard that the 3DS is going down to 199… it was leaked on a flyer on redflagsdeals for walmart...
