Nintendo of America has recently filed a brand new trademark for Donkey Kong Jr. The find was found on the United States Trademark website and was filed just over a month ago. It was actually filed by Nintendo of America under the following criteria, “Downloadable electronic game programs; downloadable electronic video game software; electronic game programs; electronic game software; video game programs; video game software”. Any guesses as to what it could be mean?
Nintendo America Files New Trademark For “Donkey Kong Jr”
Seems to me that they want to bring a game he is in over to the virtual console.
Hmm… The only games I can guess are Super Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong Jr. Math. Those are the only games that I can think of that have DK Jr. in it, but I think those are all on the eShop already besides maybe DK Jr. Math.
All of those are indeed on the eshop, and that just makes me more curious about what this could be.
It could be a brand new title, or they could just be claiming it so nobody else uses it.
I’m kind of surprised that Nintendo is only just now filing a trademark for Jr. I would like to see him in a future game though. He kind of got pushed aside when Diddy Kong came on the scene.
looks like this is mostly for covering their asses in terms of copyrighting the name and likeness of DK Jr. Possibly creating some sort of eshop game though.
I can’t wait for the NX launch title Donkey Kong Jr. Math 2: Algebra Strikes Back
New Smash character confirmed?
Don’t jinx it! XD
If it’s not just a refresh file, it could either be one of the DeNA mobile games coming out, a new eShop title, or POSSIBLY Super Smash Bros DLC. I know that last one is a stretch, but take into account what RogersBase and Stealth had to say. I’m also aware that almost no one voted for him, but that validates what RB ans S had to say even more about the character having nothing to do with the ballot. And hey, you never know with Sakurai.

Something could come out of this or something won’t since nothing has come from Nintendo renewing their trademark on Eternal Darkness as of yet. Maybe we’ll get surprised at some point as they reveal they’ve footed the bill for Shadow of the Eternals as a sequel/prequel to ED & that’s why we haven’t heard anything new lately on that game’s development.
They’ve been trademarking Donkey Kong characters for a while. Diddy Kong, King K. Rool, now DK Jr. I’m just here waiting for Lanky, our lord and savior.
