News: Third Batch Of Wii Trademarks
Posted 02 Jul 2006 at 17:37 by Tom Phillips
Nintendo have just patented another slew of trademarks to do with their upcoming console. WWWii, anyone?
Back in May, we reported on Nintendo registering around fifty mysterious domain names, including WiiKaraoke.com and the slightly dubious WiiBreeding.com. The full list can be found in the article here. Then, last month, we reported that the Big N had registered a few more, including the flipped version of 'Wii' - !!M.
And now we have another short list for you, making almost seventy domains in total. Are Nintendo planning some massive sort of viral marketing, or are they just giving their fans something to puzzle over while they continue to keep secrets about their mysterious machine. Whatever you might think, here's the latest load:
WiiCan
WiiClub
WiiCommunication
WiiDiary
WiiHappy
WiiHealth
WiiHome
WiiKids
WiiMap
WiiOnline
WiiSenior
WiiWords
WWWii
Interestingly, trying out these with .com addresses, some don't load, some load up the Nintendo homepage, and some go to completely different websites entirely. We'll update when we have more info.
