The first entry of the Ace Combat flight arcade (as opposed to flight sim) series was released under the title of Air Combat, so I hope Namco ain't gonna bop them for trademark infringement.
Air Combat was the best jet game ever. It taught me all about how to lock on to targets and how to escape lock. I cant forget that beep-beep-beep sound in my head. Now my car makes that sound when I'm parking in a tight spot.
I hope this version has combat.
IANAL but trademarks are complicated and the more descriptive a trademark is the less protection it has especially for a decades old video game no one is selling anymore.
