Oh, man.

This is a big mistake.

No one's going to buy a console that doesn't have "x" or a number in it.

GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

WII!!!

That's freaking amusing. This'll go through exactly the same stages of disgust as every other name dealie, then everyone accepts it. But still.

GYAHAHAHAHAH!

Re: Nintendo Revolution named

I just think Nintendo forgot that there are countries outside of Japan where that name would sound ridiculous.

Re: Nintendo Revolution named

Having watched their little explanation of it, I think it's awesome.

Re: Nintendo Revolution named

I like it.
"I'm going to play Wii."

edit
doesn't really matter to me anyway, I call my video game systems whatever the name of the company that made them is called.

Sounds fun!

Re: Nintendo Revolution named

And I thought "360" was a stupid name!

So, in Japan, it's Wii.
In English-speaking places, it's WHEEE!
In France, it's Yes. The Nintendo Yes. No?

I will never accept the name. It's too silly. Revolution is a lot better, and that's what I'm gonna call it.

You know, I can see a whole bunch of developers signing off after finding out the Revolution's "final" name.

Wiki already has implemented the name change, including a fun tidbit at the end of the article (which I'm sure Riotsword is responsible for).

I bet they change it for the US.

Re: Nintendo Revolution named

No name could be that bad. At least it has a philsophy behind it, what with the "we will put more people in touch with their games, and each other, and will change everything" mantra.

I hope so, Valk, or America will be playing Nintendo Whheeeeeeeeee! I don't think I would be able to brag about having it, with a name like Wii.

Re: Nintendo Revolution named

Scratch my previous Revolution statement. I'm gonna call it the Nintendo Why.

Re: Nintendo Revolution named

I'm not feeling Wii. There are going to be people who won't know whether to pronounce it We or Why or who knows what. But the main reason is that it's too late to change the name now. It's already been to closely identified with Revolution. Now GO doesn't sound half as bad as I thought it did.
