I'm sure that by now most of you have heard this news, but I just wanted to clear this stuff up for anyone who hasn't.
The August 2000 edition of EGM, Nintendo was reported to have registered trademarks for a system called 'Star Cube'. The article didn't say which countries these were registered in, and at this point we can't even be sure that this will be the name of a system. It is an interesting twist, though...
hmm...
