Nintendo Revo= Nintendo GO?

Recommended Posts

it could be the code name for the next gameboy, I guess its feasible to have that announced this year, now that DS is safely established as a separate platform.

 

Actually it would be the fifth GameBoy.

 

Gameboy

Gameboy Color

Gameboy Advance

Gameboy Advance SP

 

But if its a real name, its probably for the Revolution.

If your going that deep, what about Gameboy Pocket?

Typed GO in Wikipedia. This came up.

 

Go", a Japanese pseudonym; see art-name

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art-name

 

An art-name (in Japanese, gō) is a pseudonym, or penname, used by a Japanese artist, which they sometimes change.

 

In some cases, artists adopted different gō at different stages of their career, usually to mark significant changes in their life.

OK OK!!

Does GO mean 8 in any language? :D

 

So it seems like GO is a very good name for the japanese market. But how about everyone else? I dont think they will use different name for the other regions.

I'm happy with go as the name for Nintendo's Online service (Nintendo Go, Xbox Live - Fair Do's) but as the system name they could make a total mess of things, they have the potential to create a new image for themselves with this system but calling it "Go" isn't going to do that, they may as well just call it the "Nintendo Happy Happy Fun Box" and get it over with. We should find out in the next couple of hours, I hope.

 

To be perfectly honest I'd rather bring the name Nintendo On back :heh:

It probably is the future name for Nintendo WiFi, I think. That would be not too bad.

Ya know what's funny (well ok it's not actually funny), in IGN's pre-GDC podcast Matt says he likes the Idea of the name being the "Nintendo Funbox"...

I don't like it!

He was kidding. He also said They would be a DSlite 2 with the power of two sunns.

 

 

I Hope this is the name for the online service. I would love it for the new WFC name.

I thought Funbox was a nickname for a certain partof the female anatomy. People would buy one just for the double entendres!

4 is Shi or Yon, not chi. Sorry for being anal :). IF this is real then N5 it is, I'm fine with that, sounds more 'tech' anyway! Is anywhere doing a live update of the speech?

Personally I think the Go name and logo are pretty cool. But of course, it is just about as fake as it gets.

 

Feel free to ridicule me in a few hours time when it turns out to be real...

Nintendo Go?

 

Please please dont be true, it sounds childish yet again, and we need Ninty to move away from this image. Maybe its fine in Japan (Go = 5 n all that), but not in the western world.

 

I say Nintendo Revolutionary System all the way, goes so well with the DS :D
