Wii secret revealed – the Wii Cats have names!

In an interview with the developers of Wii’s Photo Channel, the names of both Wii Cats are revealed.

ITO:
By the way, the cats in the Photo Channel and News Channel are brothers and sisters.

SAKAINO:
The cat in the Photo Channel is Rassie, the younger sister. Because in Japanese, she always ends her sentences with “~rashiiyo” (meaning “they say” or “I heard”).

ITO:
The News Channel one is Runda, taken from the way he ends his sentences with “~runda” (a boyish remark placed at the end of a sentence to emphasize its context).

MATSUSHITA:
Is that official?

ITO:
I guess it’s official now since we said it here! (laughs)

You never noticed the Wii Cats? They’re the helpful kitties that provide tips in both the Photo Channel and the News Channel. Do you think we’ll be seeing more of these friendly felines in upcoming Wii Channels?
