It’s already been quite an interesting week on the Nintendo front, and now to add to this, it’s been revealed that the video game giant has recently registered some new trademarks in Australia.
As pointed out by Vooks, the trademarks are registered for the 2015 Wii U title Kirby and the rainbow brush (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse) and the 2015 3DS edition Fullblox (also known as Let’s stretch).
The source notes that the original trademarks for these games “still exist,” so this may not just be a “simple restoration.”
Of course, when it comes to video game trademarks, there’s no guarantee that the games listed in the filings will necessarily be revived. This could be business as usual for Nintendo as these trademarks have been around for about 10 years, but if we hear any developments we’ll let you know.
Here are the descriptions of both games in case you need a reminder of what they’re about:
Kirby and the Rainbow Brush: In this colorful platform adventure, use the Wii U GamePad touch screen to draw rainbow ropes for Kirby to roll on or to block obstacles and enemies, and carefully explore each level to discover tons of Kirby collectibles, like clay figurines and music records!
Full box: The latest entry in the series offers a whole new twist to the formula by adding additional directions of movement to push and pull: you can now grab blocks not only from the front, but also from the back and left and right, adding even more layers of complexity to the much-loved fun.
Another surprising revelation this week was the Switch’s rating for Nintendo World Cup: NES Edition appearing on the ESRB. You can find out more about it in our previous story here on Nintendo Life:
