Nintendo trademarks Cii, Bii, Oii and Yii

o

Even awesomer. Not content with trademarking “Zii,” Nintendo’s gone the whole hog and grabbed Cii, Bii, Oii and Yii.

What’s left to say? Nothing. So we won’t.

Maybe they just want to make it easier for them to sue anyone who copies the Wii.

Thanks for going through the whole alphabet there, Syrok, I sometimes forget the odd letter. ;)

Think you’re right that it’ll be to do with imitators though. Didn’t they also trademark !!M at some point as well (upside down Wii)?

Also, great tag for the article. :)

Sounds about right.

It’s good to laugh at your own jokes, particularly when that response in others might be doubtful. ;)

I think I’d buy a Nintendo Oi, it’s perfect for the UK and closely related markets.
