Nintendo lets the hounds loose.

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 soon.

As far as “Mii Audition,” “Wii Handle,” and “Soma Bringer” well, your guess is as good as ours.

    Soma Bringer has something to do with Soma from Castlevania… I think. It’s the only time I’ve ever heard the word soma.

    It seems weird that they would have announced that stuff at e3 if they didnt already have a trademark for it?
    This makes me think maybe the contest channel and body controller could be something entirely different?
    maybe not though.
