Nintendo applied for Metroid: Other M And Super Mario Galaxy trademarks | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![Nintendo applied for Metroid: Other M And Super Mario Galaxy trademarks](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-applied-for-metroid-other-m-and-super-mario-galaxy-trademarks.jpg "Nintendo applied for Metroid: Other M And Super Mario Galaxy trademarks")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-applied-for-metroid-other-m-and-super-mario-galaxy-trademarks.jpg)Japanese Nintendo is reporting that Nintendo has applied for some trademarks regarding its intellectual properties. The two trademarks are for Wii games, the controversial Metroid: Other M and the acclaimed Super Mario Galaxy.

These are for purposes including ‘video game program’, ‘downloadable video game program’, and ‘program for smartphone’.

## [](#why-nvidia-and-not-switch)Why Nvidia and not Switch?

Seeing as the program for smartphone claim it is likely that Nintendo will be expanding the library on the Nvidia shield once again like they did with The Legend of Zelda – Twilights Princess and Super Mario Galaxy.

Why can’t they rather make these available on Nintendo Switch? Sure some of us bought these games before but … well I would not mind having a portable Super Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess.

Make it happen Nintendo!
