I think they'll try to patent anything with Wii at the front right now, get that rumor mill working OT.

WiiCulture is a interesting one though. Could it be in refference to the different continents gamers use the Wii and maybe it'll be tied in to something to do with the online service? Jumping ahead i know, but still quite interesting.

How long before WiiPod? or maybe Nintendo will change it's name to "Strawberry" Smilie

EDIT: I think people should call their Wii Podcasts "WiiPods" Smilie

Well !!M ties in nicely with This

This all sounds very intresting indead. Looks like Nintendo have yet more to offer with the Wii console.

Either that's a horribly violent typo, or they want Nintendo to DIE Smilie

!!M is upside down for Wii..... Smilie Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

XD I didn't notice that... It's like Mario and Wario all over again... Except neither Wii or !!M are fat...

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society

Wii!!M - see what they've done there? Smilie

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

When I first saw !!M, I knew that it was Wii upside down as soon as I saw it... & I thought that everyone else would have realised it too, soooo.... I didn't bother posting it!

Right, Nintendo, i'll accept cash, check, or yen and we'll forget this entire 'who thought of it first' thing.

I doubt you did.

They would have thought of that when they were developing the font.

!!M - this letter-playing is hilarious - and superb too. Wonderful!
And with patenting: Let's be realistic. If Ninty isn't patenting all these things, then someone will and they have to secure their ideas somewhat. I hate patents and software-patents moreso, but it is a common thing to do and every console-manufacturer does it and did it in the past - think about the messaging-service intended for N64 mentioned here somewhere earlier. It has to be done.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

of all people, surely dearest mseny can take a joke?
