HOLY DUMB FUCK! WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE GOOFY ASS NAMES FOR THE NEW SYSTEMS! At least they tried....but god damn, i could have boxes on my head and milk cartons for hands and my head could be filled with carmelly carmelly caremal corn and I could make a better name. nintendo parrelellogram 12 dual ballz intertanement system So then Nintendo Go must be there online plan.... "Wii Go"
So anyway... I'll still have my Nintendo 5th gen console no matter what it's name (Wii is more sensible than AssBlaster 5000, I've already predicted your clever response to the "whatever name" statement). Sucks to the oh-so-coveted 18-25 demographic who is (stereo)typically too dense to look past petty differences. C'mon, Wii doesn't sound all that bad. Penis jokes aside, insert obligatory "it's all about the games" quote here, give it a rest. I'm as shocked as you all, but this is hardly the huge forshadowing or death knell you all hype it out to be.
"Sony counters Nintendo's renaming of the 'Revolution' console by introducing a new name and color for their upcoming third Playstation console."
Cry me a river, people. One made from Wii. (Damn, those pee jokes never get old.) We'll live with the name, and it'll turn more heads as time goes by. Some positive, some negative. It will bring attention, and while it may be confusing to some people, I hardly think it's the silver bullet that will put Nintendo down or anything. That's just too much. Anyhow, Ninty has succeeded in building up an audience for the Wii, so it can best bring it on to all the bitches out there. (Meant in a jestful way not directed at you guys.)
I fail to see the problem with the name. its no worse then Xbox or Playstation. God forbid Nintendo doesnt just go "Gamecube 2"<----OHHHHH or Gamecube 2006
Nah, that kind of naming will only come around when EA starts making their own console. My problem isn't really with the name itself (though it is ripe for the puns), it is with the "we" concept that Nintendo is trying to force upon us. I do not like playing games with other people; plain and simple. The concept of a console where "we can all play together" just means that there is going to be even more of a shift from single player games to multiplayer games. I feel that it also reinforces how "stupid" corporations believe their consumer base to be. Sure, the "Revolution" was a cheesy name and I'm sure that over time the "Wii" might be accepted. However, for all the bashing Nintendo regularly takes for pandering to children or younger gamers, they consistently ignore the older segment of gamers in favor of childish marketing like this. I really do think that if they continue in this fashion, they will start to lose their market share.
They have got to change this name......PLEASE!!!!Wii??!!! NO!! Even though its a one sylable three letter word its still a pain in the ass to say. I swear to god nintendo pulls shit like this all the time, just name the dam thing a nintendo... Im sorry but this is the dumbest shit ever, are they intentionaly trying to kill sales? WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!wii niid a petition.
In the UK I would say they have destroyed their marketbase, no kid is going to want to go around asking if people want to come around their house and play with their wee... sorry wii. I can imagine social services having a busy time as well:
Nintendo announces GO for Wii that does not sound at all right neither does : Super mario Wii Metroid Wii Zelda Wii Mario Kart Wii F-zero Wii they have turned the titles into descriptions
So, would it be wrong to register internet-toilet.com? After all, Nintendo wants us to go online and take a Wii, there should be some place to do so...
Aint no way im walking into a store and asking some smug faced twat if hes got any Wii in stock? Everyones gonna be asking for "that new nintendo console". I think maybe even the Nintendo name might make a comeback just because people refuse to use the name.
Where did Nintendo find the focus group that came up with this name? And how the hell did it not get laughed out of the room as soon as they saw it? Makes yow wonder what the losing names were.
Some idiot who has no idea about English yet thought it would be cool never the less. Wii The worst name for a console yet and that includes crap such as Mega Duck and Game Mate. Still, I'll probably buy one and just hope that some HK pirates make a replacable case with the revolution logo on it. Yakumo
OMG Zelda has a Wii ??? btw i don't want to buy/collect expensive dev hardware that's called like my penis...
Goofy name aside, I'm still definetly looking forward to the system.... It'll be a blast to ask a WalMart employee if they have any fresh Wii in stock.
I remember the days where everyone laughed at the DS design, and the New controller. Who cares now? Look at the bright side, if she says no, you can say you where talking about your new console,but if she says yes... :bedsex:
I heard this on the Radio, so I knew it was for real! Still, I was like..... Trust Nintendo - make a product with a REALLY interesting and unique controller, give it an awesome codename, then announce the worst name EVER for a console! Only Nintendo could screw up something with this much potential! Oh wait, didn't they inherit that skill from Sega?
