Nintendo Trademarks Prompt Speculation

An article being run by GamesIndustry.biz discusses a pair of recent Nintendo Trademarks. These trademarks would seem to indicate new product lines for the Big N, but exactly what the products would be remains up in the air. From the article: "On 7th December 2004, Nintendo registered 'Nintendo V-Pocket' by itself, while Nintendo and Pokémon series developer Game Freak jointly registered "PCGP" on the same day, according to reports."

yeah, me too. I think I missed FP because of my extended pondering...

It would be an interesting thing if this V-Pocket was a pocket video-player. Something to compete against the iPod/PSP/etc stuffs.

Maybe it's a VoIP appliance for the DS?

V = 5

Further speculation for the fan-boys: V- Roman numeral 5 1- Gameboy/Gameboy Pocket 2- Gameboy Color 3- Gameboy Advance 4- Nintendo DS 5- 5th gen Nintendo handheld w/ video capabilities. or... the alternate theory where Gameboy pocket is slot #2 and the DS falls into another catagory since Nintendo says its not a successor to the Gameboy line. Anyhow, Dance my fanboy monkeys! DANCE!

Intense speculation

Of course, the big N must have something up thier sleeve, they are acting fact on the threat of the PSP, which is using exactly the same 'later to market' tactics as the playstation.. everyone waited for the newer device, which caught the inside hub of innovation.

The PSP will be very nice. I am not a gamer per se, but I will so be pwning one of these devices with some seriously sexy home brew apps.

Unrelated, I admit, but check out the funniest engadget comment [engadget.com] (The last one, long), I read it just now, and I think it is good to see 'weblogs inc' which really is pushing down signal/noise IMHO, getting some of thier own trolling.
