No, Nintendo tends to like using generic holding companies for their new console names. That's now IGN found out the console was named GameCube even when sites like DailyRadar and other people in the industry (some who post to this forum) were 100% sure Nintendo was calling it StarCube.

Kind of off topic, but i was thinking - when E3 rolls around.. well i'm assuming they have a stack of revolution stuff stored away, ready to be set up right? Maybe 1 month - 2 weeks prior to E3 at the latest.
I mean it's not like they'll just bring them over on the plane in their suitcases at the last minute - so isn't it feasible that someone could figure out which storage company has a contract with Nintendo for this kind of stuff? And therefore find a hidden stash of Revs waiting to be hooked up!?!
Either that or they'll be locked away at NOA. Either way, someone should arrange a hijack while they're being transported to E3

That's just bad in general, why not wait a week or two and allow Nintendo to show their projects and ideas the way they want them to be shown? (granted, if it's the Nintendo of a few years ago, or the past few years even, the people who would steal that stuff could show it off better than Nintendo)
Bioumu, huh? OK, so what if the Revcon's (aka waggle-wand) final secret is that it senses your heartrate or something similar? I remember that there were some interesting ideas about when it was thought that Resident Evil 4 could include an accessory that did the same. Maybe the controller knows how tightly you're holding it and adjusts the action accordingly? Just a thought.

Haha well i'm semi joking of course, and i'd never do it myself (especially not while i'm tied up here in Australia!).
But honestly, just wondering why it never happened before, considering the lengths some nutters go to - do i remember reading in David Sheff's Game Over, that the first shipment of Super Fami's was done at midnight secretly, to avoid Yakuza's who were suspected of wanting to hijack it? Maybe my memory's foggy
I also wondered who might be doing the initial graphics work for Revolution promo stuff? And the logo etc.. cause they weren't done in-house before (N64 and GCN) were they?

No that's right actually, haha. Not many people knew when the shipments were being sent out except for a few Nintendo execs and store people. The shipments were done really late at night too, I think. There were a few other details that I don't remember, but it's funny how that sort of thing needs to be done.
I'm suprised it didn't happen with the DS Lite shipments.
Not a japanese speaker, cant cope with slang etc. Just some dictionary translations
Some translations:
Nekosogi - (adv) root and branch; thoroughly; by the roots
umu = to form, to fester, to produce, to give birth to (+ bio sounds almost like a farming game)
oumi - secret
bi - (n,n-suf) beauty
beautiful secret? naaaah
Keshi = poppy. *shrugs*
kuru = wind/reel or (vk) to come; to come to hand; to arrive; to approach; to call on; to come on (rain); to set in; to be due; to become; to grow; to get; to come from; to be caused by; to derive from; (P)
Keshi might be shortened, keshiki means scenery for example.
kururin means round and round so it'd be weird to leave it out for a sequel right?

I'm imagining something more along the lines of the player kind of drawing the sides of the tornado to keep it from getting too fat at the bottom or going sideways, and to guide it. Meh, I dunno, I doubt it's a tornado simulator.kaizoku said:

They should go back to the good old days: sticking "super" or a number before or after their own company name.

- Tornado
- Nekosogi Tornado
- Bioumu
- Kuru Keshi!
K, here's a few stretches...
Tornado == Tornado
---K, so it ain't a stretch.
Nekosogi Tornado == Total Tornado
---"Nekosogi ni" is an adverbial phrase that means completely/totaly so the adverb by itslef comes out as Total. It's weird no matter how you look at it. Maybe you swirl the wand to cause tornados to arrange/destroy things in a puzzle manner?
Bioumu == Beautiful Universe / Pretty Parrot
--- LOL, this is a stretch. "bi" can mean beautiful and Oumu = aum = Universe (in Hindi). "Oumu" also means "parrot", so pretty parrot, which seems like much less of a stretch. A seaman sorta game?
Kuru keshi == The coming Scenery??
--- kuru can mean a lot of things, but here I'm using it as to come and Keshi is slang or keshiki or scenery. Pilot Wings?
- Nekosogi Tornado
- Bioumu

yes, i agree this is non-news, but nintendo fans are not the only ones guilty of reporting trademark registrations as actual news.
i wonder when the day will come when we start to report on the first thought that pops into a game designer's head regarding the next project he/she (she, yeah right. lol) wishes to create

Trademark registrations are more reliable news than patents - actual products tend to come out of them often - see iPod Hi-Fi.

The implications of this are staggering.
Nintendo wasn't just blowing smoke up everyone's ass like usual when they were talking about the download service being used for small indie projects.
