http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/12/500x_wiizii.jpgIf Nintendo's follow-up to the Wii is actually called the Zii, I think that's the first mistake right there. But could this mysterious trademark, filed in Japan in October, actually be for the Wii 2 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/wii2/), or something else?
It was spotted on a trademarks database yesterday by the eagle-eyed Siliconera, who rightly points out that it "seems kind of late to protect Wii typos since the console is three years old." Perhaps it's that HD Wii (http://gizmodo.com/5364077/next-generation-wii-coming-with-hd-graphics-and-new-controller-in-2011) which has been oft-rumored? Whatever it is, Creative won't be too happy (http://gizmodo.com/5419976/a-quick-look-at-the-creative-zii-trinity-pumping-out-wall+e-in-smooth-hd).
