Nintendo renews trademark for Wave Race

24 Comments

Nintendo has renewed the trademark for Wave Race. That’s not a confirmation that Nintendo is working on a new title in the series — it might just be for the sake of protecting their intellectual property in case they want to work with in the future — but if something does come of it, I’d imagine it’d end up on the Wii U. That would be awesome, too. Wave Race 64 was the first game I owned on the Nintendo 64, and it’s still a fantastic title.

    One of three things:
    1) New Wave Race game. (best option)
    2) Blue Storm Wii U eShop release.
    3) Wave Race mini-game in Nintendo Land.

    I’d much rather have all three than any specific one.

    Woohoo :l… Actually it would be pretty cool to see a new wave race at one point.

    Wave Race was used to show case the n64′s power, they should use it again to show off the Wii u

    Wave Race is an old series that would really need a new episode, same for F-zero. Both series have always been impressive in a technical way. Not that much games that old have environments where water actually looked like… water ^^”

    Yeah it might be time for a new wave race. It wasn’t one of my favorites but I did play it and it might just work out really well in HD. (Visually the Trine 2 water levels come to mind)

    Wave Race Resort

    I called it.

    • Nintyfan10

      I was thinking the same thing, w/ Mii’s

      If you’re correct and they do come out with a Wave Race Resort, then someone should answer that phone, because you so called it.

    Is this game anything like JetMoto for the PSone?

  • Sam

    You guys do realise that re-registering a trademark doesn’t necessarily mean a new game right? It’s very standard practice to renew a trademark even if you have no intention of using it, it simply means that it was going to expire and rather than let someone else make a game called Waverace, Nintendo wanted to keep the name for the future. It may be they want to make a new game, it may not

      Why repeat what the article already said?

  • boyonthemoon

    :O i just got into this game a while ago and its one of the best…it would be awesome if they made another one like it

    YES

  • Envy

    WAVE RACE 64 WAS THE BOMB!
    If they do make a new one, I want to play this game with online capabilities!

    I’m just hoping they use the composer from “64″ and NOT the GC version. The difference in BGM between the two are like night and day. I love the tunes from Waverace64.

  • fredricofernando III

    I don’t get the stars thing…

  • StarTropics

    YES! I AM A WAVE RACE ADDICT!!! I still play Wave Race 64 and Blue Storm often. I hope the person from Crytek that is working with Nintendo to develop a graphics engine helped them with their water effecs/physics or Crytek is developing it because they have REDONKULOUS WATER. But I don’t doubt that the next Wave Race will have AMAZING WATER

    Funny how wave race was one of my first games for the N64, too. (Others being Mario Kart 64 and Donkey Kong 64
