Nintendo has filed new trademarks in Japan that suggest another miniature version of one of its popular consoles may be on the way.
According to Japanese Nintendo, the company has applied for a trademark on N64. Japanese Nintendo translated the applications, which states the trademark is for the purpose of video game program, controller for game machine, joystick for game machine, TV game machine and more. The site also posted screenshots of the trademark application, suggesting a Mini N64 could be in the works.
Nintendo has filed trademarks linked to past consoles before. Back in December 2016, a trademark filing by Nintendo showed a miniature Super Nintendo controller. The trademark was found almost a year before the Mini Super Nintendo hit stores.

Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation will be held Tuesday, June 12 at 12 p.m. EDT. It's possible the event may see an official announcement of the Mini N64. However, based on how Nintendo announced its other retro consoles they may wait until after E3 to do so. The Mini NES wasn't revealed until July 2016 and the company announced the Mini SNES a couple of weeks after E3 2017.
Both miniature consoles came with at least 21 games pre-loaded. The Mini NES came with just one controller while the Mini SNES included two. The N64 was the first Nintendo system to allow up to four players, so expect the miniature version to allow the same.
So what do you think of a possible Mini N64? What games do you want to see on it? Let us know in the comments section below
