According to LetsGoDigital, earlier this week on 9th January (and just three months after the AlphaDream bankruptcy), Nintendo of America filed a trademark in Argentina for Mario &amp; Luigi.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Nintendo Mario &amp; Luigi trademark description:<\/strong> Computer game cartridges; game memory cards; computer game software; video game memory cards; interactive entertainment software to play video games; covers for mobile phones.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><\/figure>\n<p>As detailed in the above description, the trademark covers video game software and mobile phones. LetsGoDigital goes onto speculate how this could be in preparation for a future entry in the series and it might end up on the Nintendo Switch or mobile devices, but is unsure whether or not it would be a completely new title or another remake.<\/p>\n<p>For now, though, we shouldn&#8217;t get too carried away, as this may not be anything more than Nintendo protecting its older IP.<\/p>\n<p><em>Would you like to see the Mario &amp; Luigi series make a comeback<\/em><em>?
