Just when we'd got used to the idea of calling its new console 'Wii', Nintendo has gone on a domain name spending spree and bought some rather interesting dot coms monikers, much to our collective amusement.

First off let's get the childish humour out of the way; heading up Nintendo's domain name swag are office favourites Wiipower.com, Wiicreator.com, Wiilove.com, Wiicooking.com, Shallwii.com, Wiigirls.com and indeed Wiiboys.com. At the moment the domains all redirect to Nintendo's American website, but we'd love to see the final article Nintendo has planned for Wiiboys.com. A site for vertically challenged chaps possibly?

Advertisement:Anyway restraining our playground humour for a moment, some of the dot coms we've uncovered actually make sense, but some suggest new Wii revelations in the form of: Wiianimation.com, Wiifitness.com, Wiikaraoke.com, Wiimusic.com and Wiilanguages.com - all of which have us scratching our heads in Friday morning confusion. A Wii fitness game? A Singstar-style karaoke game? All will no-doubt be revealed in the fullness of Wii time.

Whilst we trawl through the list looking for more side-splitting toilet humour, why don't you spend your morning searching for hidden Wii domains or inventing some of your own?

Revolution is a better name than Wii.
Go Revolution!
