It appears Nintendo's legal hounds have been busy, recently registering six trademarks with the Japanese patent office. Among the trademarks are "Mii Audition," "Mii Contest Channel," "Nintendo Magic," "Wii Handle," "Wii Body Controller," and "Soma Bringer."

The "Mii Contest Channel" is likely the already announced "Check Mii Out" channel, and one can only guess that "Wii Body Controller," is related to (or is) the Wii Balance Board that ships with Wii Fit. Nintendo Magic (working title) is a Nintendo DS "magic simulation" title that was released last year in Japan (as Magic Taizen), and will likely see a US release this Fall.

As far as "Mii Audition," "Wii Handle," and "Soma Bringer" are concerned, your guess is as good as ours. But here's some good news for Pikmin fans: Nintendo also renewed the trademark protection on "Pikmin," possibly suggesting a new Pikmin title, or at least the inclusion of Miyamoto's work-a-holic little aliens in future games.

Mii audition sounds weird..

But im happy to hear about Pikmin.

cant wait for Pikmin Wii

If you ask me Pikmin is perfect for Wii because its generally point and click. I only ever had the first and wasnt a big fan of the time limits. But I heard Pikmin 2 did'nt have time limits so mayby I should pick it up sometime.

Wouldn't pikmin be similar to elebits?

OMFGPIKMINWII?!

I loved the first two Pikmin titles. Awesome news.

I like the cryptic patents companies file. it's so awesome to see the wild guesses people come up with on the internet.

Pikmin Wii FTMFW!

WTF is Soma Bringer?!? That's what I wanna know. And Wii Audition. Maybe it's like Mii Idol? Singing Miis, that'd be funny. I never played Pikmin, but maybe I should go pick it up sometime.

Pikmin FTW. I'd like to see what they do with the Wii version.

Soma Bringer? Soma? like the drug in Huxley's "Brave New World"?? umm... I hope Nintendo doesn't plan on creating a dystopia... sketch balls...

The Pikmin thing is cool, too. Pikmin Wii would be AWESOME, and it could also point to Captain Olimar as a Brawl character...

continuing with Pikmin... the Wii would work awesomely with RTSs! maybe nintendo can FINALLY redeem itself for the atrocity known only as "Starcraft64"

pikmin on the wii will be cool.

It sure would. Hopefully Miyamoto's garden creatures will come to the Wii soon.
