Nintendo snags more Wii-related trademarks

By David Hinkle

Nintendo sure loves registering trademarks. The latest bunch of trademarks snagged by House N has us all a bit perplexed as we can't quite figure out how they would serve the company and its upcoming console. The list reads:

  • WiiCan
  • WiiClub
  • WiiCommunication
  • WiiDiary
  • WiiHappy
  • WiiHealth
  • WiiHome
  • WiiKids
  • WiiMap
  • WiiOnline
  • WiiSenior
  • WiiWords
  • WWWii

Now, the only thing we can logically predict at this moment in time is that the term Wiican is Nintendo's entry in the Coca-Cola/Pepsi wars. We personally would've went with Ninten-Cola, but I guess it's a fine enough name. Or maybe Nintendo is trying to market the Wii to the Pagan game-playing crowd?
