Donkey Kong isn’t the only reason Nintendo has introduced a brand recently. As seen on ResetEra, the Japanese company recently applied for the trademark “NSW” in Europe. VGC points out how it is commonly used as an abbreviation for Switch.
While there is speculation on the part of some fans that it could be a new approach to Switch marketing, the Switch service recently launched in Japan or even signs of a new system, a more likely scenario could be that Nintendo only intends to protect its IP, by allowing it. to take legal action against products that possibly use the ‘NSW’ (instead of ‘Switch’) that are not authorized.
The category under which it falls is Goods and Services, which refers specifically to “electronic game programs” and “video games.”
