Nintendo of America has secured the rights to the name Pikalele. A ukulele is a mini guitar from Hawaii, which originated in Portugal and enjoys worldwide popularity.

It is speculated that a Pokemon music title for the GameCube is in the works, which could be played with a ukulele controller. These speculations are reinforced by the fact that video game genius Miyamoto is a declared Samba de Amigo fan and a tech demo of a mouse with an electric guitar was shown at the Tokyo Game Show 2000.

Here is the complete text of the Pikalele patent:
