Nintendo mentions Wii 3D system?

Two days old, but oh well:

Apparently, they've applied for a patent on the idea of a massively single player online game, kind of like an online world/MMORPG without the usual issues. People seem to think this has something to do with Animal Crossing for whatever reason.

Interesting concepts here, such as the world being dynamic but not encountering other players, hence you can only see the results of their actions. I think this is probably a pretty stupid concept if you ask me.

It also mentions 'a home video game system such as the Nintendo Wii 3D video game system'.

What do you think? What's Nintendo planning this time?

I think it's a rather neat idea in general that would work pretty darn well with Animal Crossing. Though the title had me thinking they were announcing some kind of 3D effect with the Wii U, but instead it's some MMORPG, heh.
