Nintendo of Japan seems to have registered a few new trademarks, which makes for some interesting speculation for fans everywhere. Some are just plain strange (like Soma Bringer), while others seem pretty easy to figure out. Could the "Wii Body Controller" be the official name for the Wii Fit balance board? Mii Contest Channel is about as clear as Pikmin ... except we really want the latter and think the former is interesting, but not froth-worthy.Here's the full list:
- Mii Contest Channel
- Nintendo Magic
- Wii Body Controller
- Mii Audition
- Wii Handle
- Pikmin (trademark protection renewed)
- Soma Bringer

"Soma Bringer" sounds interesting. A new franchise? A delivery device for futuristic drugs?

Mii Audition better not be some sort of American Idol type of game/contest. I'm getting tired of that fad.

As for "Soma," it could either be linked to the Japanese verb "Somaru" (to dye or be stained, to be influenced) or may have something to do with the Latin word for sleep

@2: Sounds like it. It's hip with kids now-a-day. You don't have to use it, so don't moan and complain about it.

As far as name goes we would have to pick the most original and weirdest, look what happened to codename REVOLUTION. No one seen that coming.
