Recently, Nintendo has made some intriguing moves in Australia by registering new trademarks for some of their well-known titles. Among these trademarks are Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush, also known as Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, which was originally released on the Wii U in 2015. Additionally, the 2015 3DS game Fullblox, also known as Stretchmo, has had its trademark renewed. The fact that the original trademarks for these games still exist suggests that this may be more than just a simple renewal.
While the registration of trademarks may hint at potential revivals for these games, it’s important to remember that there are no guarantees in the world of video game development. Nintendo may simply be renewing these trademarks as part of their regular business practices. These trademarks have been around for approximately 10 years, so it’s possible that this is just a routine procedure. However, fans of these games can still hold out hope for a comeback.
For those who need a refresher on what these games are about, here are brief descriptions:
– Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush: This colorful platforming adventure for the Wii U allows players to use the GamePad touch screen to draw rainbow ropes for Kirby to roll along, block obstacles, and uncover collectibles like clay figurines and music tracks.
– Fullblox: The 3DS game adds a new twist to the puzzle formula by introducing additional directions of movement for pushing and pulling blocks. Players can now interact with blocks from the front, rear, and both sides, adding more complexity to the gameplay.
In addition to the trademark registrations, Nintendo fans were pleasantly surprised by the discovery of a Switch rating for Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition on the ESRB. This suggests that classic Nintendo competitions may be making a return on the latest console, much to the delight of nostalgic gamers.
As the world of Nintendo continues to evolve and surprise fans with unexpected announcements, it’s clear that the company remains dedicated to honoring its past while also embracing new innovations. Keep an eye out for further developments on these trademarks and potential game revivals in the future.
