Summary:

• **Nintendo is protecting their famous game characters** - Nintendo renewed their trademarks for Mario, Wario, and other popular game series. A trademark is like a special label that proves Nintendo owns these characters, so other companies can't use them without permission.

• **These characters might get new games soon** - When companies renew trademarks, it sometimes means they're planning to make new games with those characters. Mario and Wario are super popular, so Nintendo wants to make sure they can keep making games with them for many years to come.
