The Nintendo 3DS will make its first public appearance at E3 in a few weeks time. But while we wait, Nintendo has been getting busy making some interesting Nintendo 3DS-related trademark submissions. Yesterday we saw a Nintendo 3DS widescreen, now it seems there could be some Nintendo 3D game services on the horizon too…
When the Nintendo 3DS was first announced, Nintendo was careful to let us know that it might not be the final name for its 3D-glasses-shunning portable gamer. But it seems likely that it will stick with the Nintendo 3DS name as it’s just grabbed the Japanese trademark.
More intriguingly, it’s also snapped up 3DSWare and 3DSPlay. While it may just be protectively picking up the names, they both sound rather like Nintendo 3DS specific versions of familiar Nintendo properties.
3DSWare suggests Nintendo could be planning a follow-up to DSiWare to deliver a 3D-only game store for its new console. Meanwhile 3DSPlay, although pretty broad, recalls the massively popular Wii Play. Could Nintendo be planning a batch of killer mini-games for the Nintendo 3DS? It doesn’t sound like such a bad idea.
We’re excited to see whether Nintendo can deliver on the Nintendo 3DS’ 3D gaming promise. It’d be great to see a big DSiWare-style batch of casual games arriving with it.
