Nintendo has renewed the trademarks for Metroid Prime: Federation Force, Metroid Prime: Blast Ball, Ever Oasis, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, four games associated with the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U generations. The renewals are the event: they do not announce new games, ports, remasters, or other projects tied to those names.
The four titles cover different corners of Nintendo’s older catalog. Federation Force and Blast Ball are connected to Metroid Prime, while Ever Oasis is a separate action role-playing game and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is an Atlus role-playing game. Their common point in this update is the renewed trademark status, not a shared release plan. Because the names belong to older releases spanning different genres and hardware, their appearance together is best understood as a portfolio update rather than evidence of a coordinated slate.
Four names from the 3DS and Wii U era
Metroid Prime: Federation Force arrived on Nintendo 3DS in 2016 as a multiplayer spin-off developed by Next Level Games. Rather than centering on Samus, it puts players in the role of Galactic Federation soldiers and builds its missions around cooperative play. That background helps explain why the title is distinct within the Metroid Prime family: it uses the series’ setting for a team-based experience rather than presenting another mainline Samus adventure.
Metroid Prime: Blast Ball is the other Metroid-related name in the renewed group. It began as a mode associated with Federation Force and was also made available as a standalone game. Its sports-like format uses the Metroid Prime setting in a different way from the cooperative missions. The separate mention matters because the update covers both the larger spin-off and a more compact offshoot, not just one trademark for the wider franchise.
Ever Oasis, released for Nintendo 3DS in 2017, is an action RPG developed by Grezzo. Its play blends exploration and combat with building and managing an oasis. That combination gives the game a different identity from the two Metroid-related experiences: it is a standalone fantasy adventure built around growing a community as well as traveling through the world. The trademark renewal brings this less frequently revisited title into the same news cycle as the other three.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE began on Wii U in 2015 as an Atlus role-playing game, and it later received an enhanced Nintendo Switch version called Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore in 2020. That history sets it apart from titles whose only appearance remains on 3DS: Switch players have already had a later edition of this game. The renewal therefore should not be read as news that the original RPG is newly coming to Nintendo’s current hardware.
What a renewal does—and does not—tell players
For players, the practical takeaway is limited but clear. A trademark renewal keeps the title names within Nintendo’s intellectual-property portfolio; it does not provide a release date, platform, development status, product description, or promise of availability. Nothing in the renewal itself says that a sequel is in production or that any of the games is being prepared for a new system. For someone deciding what to expect next, there is no new release timing to plan around and no new edition to compare with the existing versions.
That distinction matters because a trademark record is not the same thing as a game announcement. Companies maintain intellectual-property records as part of ordinary business, and renewing a name can serve that protective purpose without signaling a creative decision. The update may draw attention because several games with long gaps in public-facing news appear together, but the confirmed information stops at the renewed trademarks and the titles involved.
The list is notable for its range: a multiplayer Metroid spin-off, a standalone sports-style game, Grezzo’s oasis-management RPG, and an Atlus crossover RPG. That range makes the update relevant to readers interested in older Nintendo software and the status of its names. It does not, however, establish a revival strategy or indicate that Nintendo plans to bring the four games back as a group.
For now, the accurate reading is straightforward: Nintendo has renewed trademarks for Metroid Prime: Federation Force, Metroid Prime: Blast Ball, Ever Oasis, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Their original platforms and histories explain why the update is catching attention, while the absence of any accompanying product announcement sets a firm limit on what can be concluded. Players can note the catalog activity without treating it as confirmation of a return.
