Webuser Forums: Advice for Newbie

Hi,

I am thinking of creating a shopping directory in a specific area which I think would be helpful to many people but am unsure if it would be legal.
Don't want to say what the directory is but for example -

Say I created a directory of online shops that sold Nintendo games. Would this be allowed and could I register a domain name with "nintendo" in. eg. nintendoshops.co.uk
Are there trademark / copyright issues when using the name Nintendo?

As I said Nintendo was just an example but think the same rules would apply for my idea. I read a few sites which tell you not to include a brandname in the domain name but have also seen many sites who do. To be honest if I was to set up my directory I would want the company name in the domain name for surfers to know what the directory is for.

Sorry if this is a silly question but want to make sure I am not stepping on anyones toes before I start.
