New Nintendo Wii Patents

Nintendo has registered a group of names in Japan that all pertain to the company's upcoming console, Wii.

They are (drum roll please): WiiPointer, WiiCulture, and !!M.

While there are no details on what the names mean as of right now, it's safe to say WiiPointer probably has something to do with the remote control (or one of its functions) for the system.

WiiCulture suggests a possible name or service for Nintendo's online system, "Connect 24".

Perhaps the most intruiging of all is !!M, which is the word Wii turned upside down. Pronouncing it may be tricky (bringing back memories of the artist Prince's symbol-name), but it has been speculated that the name pertains to a rumored instant messaging service Nintendo might include with the Wii's online service. As always I will keep you updated. Speculate now and welcome to the site. Leave one in the comment section.
