Nintendo renews trademarks for Golden Sun, Rhythm Heaven, and Mario Super Sluggers
Nintendo kicks off some wild pre-Direct speculation, by having recently re-established a trademark on four of its properties. This lineup includes Golden Sun, Rhythm Heaven, Wrecking Crew, and Mario Super Sluggers. Though, this is no reason to assume anything major is going on involving these series, as Nintendo renews its trademarks from time to time, the last two times we saw Nintendo trademark something (Mario Party and Luigi's Mansion) we eventually got a new game or entry into that series. In this instance, we see the new trademarks were filed on August 24. Other past trademark renewals from Nintendo include Paper Mario, Wario Land, and Punch Out.
