Nintendo trademarks 'Active Health'

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jan 12th 2009 at 6:27PM }

Siliconera discovered a Nintendo trademark for Nintendo: Active Health while searching a European trademark database (everyone's gotta have a hobby). The site dug a little deeper on the trademark, which was entered January 8, 2009, and doesn't believe it to be the European name for the DS fitness title Personal Trainer: Walking.

So, what is Nintendo: Active Health? Not a clue. We've contacted Nintendo for clarification and will update if it responds.

Looks like the new Zelda game really is going to show where Nintendo has its priorities at.

With Nintendo's new health kick chubby little Mario must be feeling pretty self conscious working for them, especially with those skinny N+ Ninjas constantly teasing him about his weight.

Maybe they will make some tpye of heart monitoring device that is like a watch......takes your pulse rate, breath rate and BP and sends it to your Wii and an online database....

Almost a year back in an intreview in Greece a worker in Nortec Greece had revealed plans for Wii-music and Wii Health Pack.
Interview here http://news.contra.gr/Technology/Hellas/149198.html
Wii Health Pack was supposed to be something like Wii Fit but could take more measurements and via a Wii Channel could sent the information to a Hospital wich would give a Health evaluation. I don't know if it's that, but it could be a new feature of Wii-Fit that worked exactly as i described before(and why not include a new accessory to measure blood pressure etc).

Health Pack= Wii Fit

"Miyamoto-san originally wanted Wii to launch with different sets of software packages, and these included Sports Pack, Party Pack and Health Pack. Sports Pack became Wii Sports, Party Pack became Wii Play and Health Pack became Wii Fit."

We have to remember that most of the research and concepts behind new games or products are most of the time patented and brands are registered, it doesnt mean that its going to come out to the market nor that we will see it in the near future.

dimos222 @ Jan 12th 2009 8:03PM

Yeah but that doesn't mean it can't be a new feature for the Wii Fit that will be basically a health monitoring service.
Maybe it was an early plan for Fit that they decided to implement later.

Anyway that's still a guess, and actually the first thing that popped into my head.
It could be a million things.
