Zii, as in 'zzz' as in use the wii vitality sensor to monitor your sleep patterns. Wii Zii: Sleep.

"One day I woke up and thought about what happens when I sleep. With Wii Fit we wanted people to think about their body. The concept behind Wii Zii: Sleep is that we want people to think about their bodies...while they sleep. Everyone should be aware of it."
-Miyamoto's brain

This is exactly what I was thinking it might be.

Engadget did some further digging:

It looks as if this here filing may simply be a renewal of a 2006 trademark request. Moreover, we've found Nintendo trademarks in Japan for Cii, Bii, Oii and Yii, so it seems the company may just be on some sort of rampage in order to cover its tracks in one form or another.

So, maybe not so much real news here, then.

It's the upside down inverse of Wii. The big N is superstitious.

That's why the Gamecube was abbreviated GCN rather than NGC (Not Good Console).

Good Console.... NNNnnoooot!!! /Borat voice

Wii Zii?

[Xelinis]

Putting my money on Zii meaning Zelda Wii.

This is already the name of one of those Wii ripoffs I see at the flea market on Sundays.

 

[Wutdaheckman]

. . . Does this make more sense then "Cii"?

wouldn't "sii" be the most obvious if they were going for "see"

it's a pretty far stretch but

Zii could be 2ii.

It was for a logging company.

I knew it was for something of the sort, thank you kindly.

I wonder how much Ninty paid to buy the domain from them...

I kinda like the idea of going from a console that sounds like French for "yes" to a console that sounds like Spanish for "yes".

Its like it's 2006 all over again with the zii and wii puns.
