The best thing about Nintendo's new console being called Wii U is it's easy for the company to think up domain names. The latest batch below show the Big N has gone all-out to register several high-profile domains, and although they're not all likely to be used there are some interesting registrations.
WiiUWare.com is one of the more interesting names, particularly as Nintendo registered a trademark for 3DSWare but not the domain name 3DSware.com. While the company seems keen to move away from "Ware" as a suffix for its downloadable games — 3DSWare doesn't exist as a brand in Nintendo's eyes — it's not out of the realms of possibility the company could continue its WiiWare groundwork with a follow-up.
The list also contains many high-profile Wii games with a U suffix, which will surprise nobody. Will we see Wii U Sports and Wii U Fit in future?

wiiuniverse!
...but not wiiu.com Looks like someone beat them to it!
wiiplayu.com
Now i'm really scared.
wiiuniverse?
EDIT: Hey, there's a wiiuspeak.com and a wiispeaku.com. Weird, lol.
The U suffix at the end of those doesn't really work...
"Wiibalanceboardu"?
And WiiUWare is an awful name to boot.
Wii Universe... I wonder if that'll be their online service?
I think Nintendo buys up most of these domains (wiiuware, etc.) basically so that no one else does. I kinda think it's to protect against fraud and crap.
Can't wait for Wii-U-Ware. I suspect, that most of my money will go to the download services. I liked so many Wiiware games, but the ideas here are much more vast. Bigger games, and downloadable to the screen.... this could be so fun.
All this speak of Ware and no sign of a new WarioWareU ;P
I just pooped myself 20 times soo Epic
I always like Wii Universe, I figured they could call the new smash brothers, "Smash Brothers Universe". Since its Wii U, they could incorperate it into the name. But idk how that would work for the 3DS.
Wii universe=Zelda universe, perhaps? Or maybe not! I read the Zelda universe rumor on this sites forum, but I think I read the same rumor a year ago or even longer ago.
All these accessories... and websites, too. Quite peculiar.
I called Wii University as the included Wii U Sports game last week. [But since it isn't on the list I suppose they've already got an actual Wii University in Japan or N. Korea somewhere.] College isn't all about beer and sex, you can also play hackey sack - tap your finger around the little screen while all the Miis kick it on the tv. Could also work well for beer pong if the screen turns out to be pressure sensitive. May want to avoid using the WiiPad as a frisbee though
wiiwheelu.com? lol they are going to make a giant wii wheel to fit the new controller...
O.O WiiwillrockU.com make it happen nintendo.
i sooo can't wait 'till Miibuyu lol
**sigh**
And I was hoping for a name change.
This makes me think back to when 3DS was one of many patents Nintendo took out last year, & sometime later we were aware of a new device coming out named the 3DS.
Very interesting!
Why dose this kid in the picture draw way better then us?..
