Nintendo's recent trademark filing in Japan raises eyebrows photo

Depending on your TV viewing habits as a child, you may forever associate the letters N.O.M with the sound a certain "googly-eyed" Sesame Street character made while smashing cookies against his forehead in a fit of confectionery bliss.

However, if a recent trademark filing has anything to do with it, those letters will soon be the acronym for Nintendo Online Magazine. At this point, no details are known about this potential companion (or replacement) to Nintendo Power -- or if it even exists at the moment. Could this be Nintendo's answer to Sony's Qore service?

Better yet... should we even care?

If it's free, I might check it out. If I have pay, no thanks, I'll wait for the pirated version. That is, if the "magazine" is of acceptable quality. I have my doubts.

I remember annoying my siblings by making that noise with every bite of my dinner.

Om nom-nom-nom-nom!

What does Nintendo have with choosing weird-assed names for their stuff. Wii and now NOM. Uh-oh, I can see badness combining those two....

Nintendo can then create a Wiinomena, thanks to their Wiinom.

@DanGale:
My bad what I meant was does anyone remember that NOM stood for something before this online magazine appeared. That being said Nintendo Official Magazine is horribly written and feels like they are talking to 7 year olds
