Some of you may remember Nintendo of Japan offering custom business cards with your Mii from their Digi Cam Print Channel. The service went live last year, but only in Japan. In the future, however, you might be able to get a stack of Mii name cards without traveling halfway around the world.

Searching through the European Trademark Database I discovered Nintendo registered Wii Photo Print Channel which sounds like the already available Digi Cam Print Channel. Since this is just a trademark we don’t know when Nintendo will launch such a program and if it’s only for Europe. I am inclined to believe Nintendo has plans for a Wii Photo Print Channel though. Registering trademarks still cost money even if Nintendo “prints” it. Let’s just hope the Wii Photo Print Channel includes the unique options like photo books and name cards in addition to boring old prints.
