Nintendo trademarks "NSW" in Europe (new branding?)

[yoonshik]

There was already a trademark for "Nintendo Switch", so this is odd (maybe not?)

What do you think?

EUIPO

 

[Areal]

Nintendo Switch Wii.

 

[LossAversion]

Nintendo Switch World confirmed. PlayStation Home, eat your heart out.

 

[Lord Fanny]

Well there's the next system. The Switch, Switch Lite, Switch OLED and the NSW

 

[LinkStrikesBack]

Bit weird that they didn't have NSW already trademarked because it's already used often as shorthand for Nintendo Switch.

 

[brannagan]

New SWitch?

 

[Soap]

Not suitable for work? I guess they are going after the last of the vita audience

 

[Neutron]

First they came for Kylie Minogue, now they're coming for the New South Welshmen!

 

[Kyuuji]

New Super Waluigi

 

[Angie]

New Switch?

 

[_zoipi]

I bet a meal that it's just usual "we're just trademarking to not let anyother use something similar to ours".

Hm this seems quite possible

 

[MondoMega]

I've seen it used a ton as an abbreviation for Nintendo Switch fairly often.

Can't believe Nintendo trademarked my state though.

Looking forward to playing New Super Wario at some point very VERY soon.

The Nintendo North South West.

Does not work when facing East.

 

[lucancel]

Nintendo switch Wide(screen) yeah, lol

No Switch Wupgrade

 

[Spring-Loaded]

New South Wales, move over.

 

[Jeb]

[Bazry]

Nintendo Switch Watch, now play JRPGs with even smaller text

I laughed.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Nintendo Switch Wumbo

NSW makes me think of the Switch. NS, not so much. It's a bit surprising they didn't do this before.

 

[plake]

New Switch Where?

 

[Strings]

I don't want to be reminded of New South Wales :(

Yeah, I'd agree with this. Now, if they trademarked 'NSW2'...

 

[Zephy]

The Nintendo Super-Wich

 

[Ewaan]

Aren't they just trade marking the commonly used abbreviation for the Nintendo Switch?

 

[Mivey]

New Switch?

Having the new system abbreviate to NSW, which is already used in retail to indicate Nintendo Switch would be the most Nintendo thing.
This is the same company that thought WiiU was a good name, after all.

 

[Giga Man]

Nintendo Switch Wombo.

The Nintendo Super-Wich

Nintendo Super Witch.

 

[klauskpm]

Nintendo Sand Wich
Nintendo Switch Witch
Nintendo Switch Wild
Nintendo Simple Wish
Nintendo Switch What?
New Switch Wow

Exactly.
The WiiU was immediately what came to mind.
So there is hope a new Switch is getting announced soon

I wonder if this is just them acting on this idea really late into the consoles life.

 

[Saladin]

Reading all the posts and seeing nobody mention it. I'm ashamed to admit that I read it "NSFW"

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Nintendo Switch Ware

 

[chusetto]

Nintendo Switch Wololo

 

[bytesized]

No Safe Work

True tbh

 

[Ohnooni]

Nintendo Switch Waggle? expect it to be fully Wii backwards compatible!

Gotta love a bit of New Switch FirmWare

 

[giapel]

Nintendo Space World!
I knew there was a reason they've skipped "E3"

 

[Kneefoil]

I've definitely seen places abbreviate Nintendo Switch to NSW before. Maybe not Nintendo themselves, but still...

I wouldn't expect this to be anything.

 

[dodmaster]

I'll always see 'not safe for work' and just skip it

They can have every single one of them. Shire wankers, Westies, the hills residents that gave us Hillsong, the greedy cotton farmers destroying the Murray-Darling and Perrottet with his 42 children can all just get on a boat and go wherever Nintendo takes them.

The Tweed area is cool though... Those people can stay :D

Introducing the Nintendo SandWich. It's shaped like a DS and you can open it up to put your cheese and ham inside.

 

[Tom Nook]

Nintendo Switch Whole

 

[Helix]

there it is, Nintendo will finally acquire New South Wales

NS also has Nazi connotations in German (National Socialist party), so they would never use that abbreviation in Europe in the first place.
