Nintendo

The company that gave the world Mario, Link, and Samus is the undisputed champ of the modern console war, with nearly 150 million Switches sold since 2017. But now, speculation is rampant about the company's next console, rumored to launch in 2025.

Nintendo registered a trademark for “Wave Race” in Europe on November 17. That’s according to a document filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. The request is class 9, meaning it’s related to computer software. The series has been dormant since Wave Race: Blue Storm was released in 2001.
