Nintendo trademarks WiiRelax

Posted 19th of December, 2009 at 09:49 pm by Infernal Monkey Infernal Monkey is offline


An entry for WiiRelax has appeared on the European trademark database. Purely based on the name alone, this could very well be the Vitality Sensor's pack-in title Iwata hinted at a while ago.

"What we are trying to propose first is a video game with a theme of relaxation, which is completely opposite from traditional ones, to enrich the users' lives."

While Nintendo themselves filed this trademark, it turns out that Pub Company - a small Italian developer - once had plans to bring out a game called Wii Relax (with a space). All traces of that project have since vanished, so it's believed Nintendo may be working with Pub Company on WiiRelax. Or Reggie paid them a visit in the dead of night.

Wiilax, don't do it...

Will be interesting to see how Wii Relax makes use of the Vitality Sensor.

I could be incredibly presumptuous when I say this, but don't we normally play video games to relax? Or, at the very least, unwind?

I want a Buddha fountain with my WiiRelax.

Isn't everybody going to be too busy getting (Wii)fit to find the luxury-time to relax? ;-)
