I sent and e-mail to IEEE about the discrepancy and here's their reply (It's possible for two companies to use the same prefix):
Dear Sir,
Per question received below, as shown, Medicis Technologies Corporation is what we currently have registered. The IEEE Registration Authority only provides unique identifier, but there could be a possibility that Nintendo could be doing business with Medicis. Unfortunately, we do not keep records on what the companies are using the assignments for.
Regards,
Carmen

Hello, I was looking through your database and found a slight discrepancy between a device and your registered MAC address entry. For the prefix 00:1A:E4, my Nintendo Wii is using the MAC address. You have it listed as Medicis Technologies Corporation.
I was wondering if it's possible for two companies to use the same prefix or if your site or Nintendo might have made a mistake.
