Nintendo has filed a trademark for the word and logo “Nintendo Game Boy” in Brazil, according to a new report.
Universo Nintendo’s Necro Felipe took to Twitter/X to share that Nintendo has filed a trademark for the word and logo “Nintendo Game Boy” in Brazil. The listing was published on February 10, 2026.
The current application status is “Awaiting opposition filing deadline”, which means that the trademark application for Nintendo Game Boy is currently in the public opposition phase in Brazil. After a trademark application is published, Brazilian law allows a period (usually 60 days) during which other companies or individuals can formally oppose the registration and they can opt to argue that the trademark conflicts with their existing rights.
As for the device itself, it appears that Nintendo may be set to release a Game Boy Classic Edition handheld, with new features and a built-in software library. Only time will tell whether this is actually the case, however.
