Rumour: 3DS release for March 2011 in UK

Nintendo has recently filed several trademarks which appear to be related to the Nintendo 3DS. This comes courtesy of a report on Siliconera.

The trademarks filed are CrossPass, CrossPass Mode, CrossPass Network, and CrossPass Connection, which sound like they’re related to the 3DS networking mode. This feature will allow players to exchange data when near other players.

There were also trademarks registered for 3D Paddleball, probably a 3D version of Pong, 3D Challenge, which could be anything, and 3D Hopper. Dunno what the hell that is.

It’s unknown if these trademarks are for 3DS software or 3DS tech demos. My money is on downloadable software. The 3DS is set to release in March 2011.
