The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office application (spotted by Gematsu ) was filed April 2 by Nintendo of America and seems to point toward a new game title. There is no logo or additional information that details the planned platform for Code Name S.T.E.A.M. Keep in mind that a trademark filing doesn't mean there will be a consumer product, as over the past few years Nintendo has applied for registrations of Eternal Darkness and Zii In the meantime, though, Nintendo is hosting a Super Smash Bros. Direct tomorrow, April 8, at 3pm PT / 6pm ET/ 11pm GMT. It's unknown what Nintendo will show of the upcoming Wii U and 3DS game, though the title is still without a release date.
