Nintendo renews trademarks for 3DS and Wii U classics

Nintendo recently renewed trademarks for two 2015 titles: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes on 3DS and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash on Wii U. These renewals, spotted by industry watchers like Mike Odyssey, spark speculation amid ongoing celebrations for Mario and Zelda’s 40th anniversaries in 2026. The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes emphasizes multiplayer co-op gameplay with three-player puzzles and costumes, earning mixed reviews for its niche appeal compared to solo Zelda adventures. Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash introduced power shots and amiibo support but fell short on content depth despite solid mechanics. Renewals are routine for Nintendo to safeguard intellectual property, occurring every decade without guaranteeing new releases or ports. Past examples like Bandai Namco’s Klonoa and Katamari show renewals can precede revivals, though Nintendo prioritizes protection over promises.
