Sega Renews Virtua Fighter Logo Trademark And Files For ‘Battle Genesis’ Trademark

[vbt]

Last month, Sega Games Japan filed two trademarks in the US, one to renew the existing trademark for the Virtua Fighter series logo, and a new trademark titled ‘Battle Genesis’.






Virtua Fighter was re-trademarked for use with coin-operated video games and arcade video game machine use. Similarly, ‘Battle Genesis’ has also been trademarked for coin-op and arcade game use.



Keep in mind that Virtua Fighter might be just a standard trademark renewal by Sega, as it has been 12 years since Virtua Fighter 5 came out in 2006. However, ‘Battle Genesis’ is quite interesting, especially as it is marked for arcades. Both trademarks were filed on October 2, 2018.

Virtua Fighter 2 and 5 were included as playable games in Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 6, both recent releases. Sega may have been trying to drum up interest in the series in preparation for something new.

"Battle Genesis" has that annoying ticket-pachinko-or-mobile sound to it for me. Lets hope I'm not right. 🙁
