Nintendo trademarks "Zii" in Japan

Nintendo was spotted filing another trademark recently, and the new name does invite a little more curiosity than the usual filing. That name is "Zii" and its reminiscence of the current Nintendo console makes things interesting. Care to play a little guessing game again?

 

Filed October 30, 2009, the trademark was released yesterday in Japan. Zii is supposed to be used for electronic devices and video games. That said, are we looking at the name of the Wii HD? Or are we looking at yet another Wii peripheral?

 

Floor is yours.

Hmmmm, Zii. On a scale from A to Z, I give the Wii a Zii in the "Supporting Hardcore Gamers" category.

i bet it's just going to be another sucky peripheral....nintendo seems to like those.
i used to love nintendo but i haven't played the wii in months and all i play now is the 360.
if this is something good, i'm sure it'll just be released in japan, and maybe in the uk a couple years later. haha

"best selling games"

"useless"



Only Mr. Common Douchebag can sound so ignorant!



Hilarious!!!



If there's a high WANT for it then it CAN NOT be useless. Jesus man! You seriously need to educate yourself!!!!

Yeah, actually, something can be useless and in-demand.



Just look for anything with an "As Seen On TV" label :P

Dude, why is it you feel the need to speak to someone in that Arrogant tone of yours. Yes your right about most things but your attitude is disgusting.



Maybe you need to grow up a little bit before telling people to get an education.

Starting every subject title with "WTF" makes you look real smart. I might even use that in one of my essays.

@jimmytime88 - Because he's a f@cking prick and he deserves it.



@Douchebag - "so the average person will never use it again after trying it"



Let me guess, that is NOT fact . Instead it's your idiot opinion? An idiot opinion backed by absolutely no evidence or common sense?



That wheel is not useless. It proves the means to better grip the controller for MOTION control.



Only someone who can't use their brain for more then one second would create a comment as stupid as, telling us a MOTION accessory is useless for using ANALOG control.



Holy crap! That comment of yours has to be the STUPIDEST thing I've read from you yet!!!

looking at the other "ii" trademarks ninty filed, it just looks like they're making sure no one names anything similar to "Wii"
