zii-1

Nintendo filed for the trademark on October 30, 2009 and the listing was discovered in the Japanese trademark database recently. The question is, will anything come of it?

zii-2

Thanks to Jonah S for the news tip!

    Or maybe they’re just trademarking all those variations (Cii, Zii, Oii) to keep other companies from using them.

    So other people can’t ride in the coattails of the Wii’s sucess.

    Next console?
    With a name that resembles the previous console (Wii)?
    Sounds un-original for Nintendo standards.
    But then again, if Microsoft and Sony go for names like XBox (insert random number just because sounds cool here) or PS(insert number here), then why can’t Nintendo go for something Ziimilar. (Lame, I know. It just came to my mind as I was writing this. lol)

    I suggest everyone look at the letter Z closely…….. That doesnt remind you of something you seen before????………. OK let me help you out….. Grab any copy of any Zelda game you have and look at the letter Z in the Zelda title…. well isnt that interesting, its the same style of lettering, its the same Z.

    @Captain N: I wouldn’t call myself a hardcore Zelda fan if I hadn’t notice it.
    Plus, until now, the game has been nicknamed Zelda Wii.
    Though there are moronic web sites like IGN who call it Zelda Wii 2, but…
