More on this gameHaving previously registered a number of game titles as trademarks, we have today learnt that Nintendo have once again been down the Trademark Office registering a number of three-letter acronyms.
The following titles were registered by Nintendo on March 19th 2004, whilst weâve seen several reports suggesting that one of these will likely form the final name of the Nintendo DS, we have our doubts as Nintendo have been adamant that the format isnât to do with the GameBoy family in the past â“ as youâll notice all the titles feature GB.
- DGB
- EGB
- GBD
- GBE
- GBN
- GBY
- TGB
- WGB
- XGB
Does this hint that Nintendo have had a rethink and want to brand the DS under the GameBoy tagline, or perhaps theyâre just covering their backs for the future; let us know your thoughts and opinions.

Eh? Game & Watch? So I can only play one game ont he DS? Beyond a similar style and look with the original DS, I'm not really sure where the comparison comes from.

I once owned a DS lite and spent many hours playing it. I think it is ideal for the younger gaming generation although for me personally the psp is far better. I think in comparrison to the psp the nintendo ds is slightly overpriced.
