I work in trademarks and just happened to stumble upon this filing for Ikari Warriors unrelated to what I was working on.

http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=79137118&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch

SNKP also filed for Ikari Warriors marks in other countries. The mark in the U.S. hasn't progressed - but it looks like the deadline is April 30, 2014 for their response to hash out some problems with their application.

Did anyone hear anything about Ikari Warriors lately? I'd guess it's just a download/compilation.

I work in trademarks

me too!

I'm a trademark researcher ... and it sucks! But, it's quite common for companies to renew/refile their trademarks in order to keep it active under their company so no one else can use it or name something similar to it. It could mean something or it could mean nothing.

Nah you got it all wrong. It's going to be Ikari Warriors VS Doki Doki Majo Shinpan!...basically the premise is the Ikari warriors would go around shooting like normal, but then when you rescue someone, you have to force her to strip and thus enter into a mini game! In this mini game you see if they are wearing enemy panties and if they are...you win! (honestly I wouldn't be surprised)

The cynic in me immediately thought it was to ready themselves for a lawsuit in response to the yet-to-be-announced NG-Dev Team Ikari Warriors like title...

I should have thought of that. A pachislot sounds even more likely, considering they already brought back the Art of Fighting series for one.

SAME they should start refering to it as a "Shock Troopers" or "Ninja Commando Like Title" Lol

Shock Troopers or Ninja Commando means you actually get a health bar, but not so for Ikari Warriors.
