Forums - Nintendo - New Trademarks Suggest Potential Names for 3DS Tag Mode

Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo on 28 July 2010

Possible software titles pop up too

"CrossPass" could work, let's hear your alternatives

It's not uncommon for companies to register trademarks for potential names of products and services, and whilst most will disappear into the mist of time, never to be used, a select few actually will. We'll leave it to you to decide if the latest Nintendo trademarks hit the spot. That is, until their potential use.

We know the company plans to offer 3DS gamers updates of games, even if doing something as nonchalant as passing by each other in a busy street, through an expanded and integrated version of the 2DS's Tag Mode. Recently uncovered trademarks (via Siliconera) that have been registered in Japan have shown us some potential names for said service, as well as what sounds like potential software for the 3D wonder machine.

CrossPass, CrossPass Mode, CrossPass Network, and CrossPass Connection all sound like possible names of the always-connected Tag feature, whilst 3D Paddleball, 3D Challenge, and 3D Hopper are more likely to be games or tech demos. Target Shooting has also been registered, which was a demo that was shown off at E3.

Sound catchy?

'CrossPass' sounds like a good name to me.

Much better than the unoriginal '3DSTag' I was expecting

RELEASE DATE U BAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTARDS

 

please



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

hmm interesting choice for name, as in French Canada - see Quebec 'cross' is slang for masterbate or to get screwed and many english products with the word 'cross' change their names before their released there.
