Gaijin von Snikbah Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I dont mind it being called the RS. It makes sense. I think people might understand that it doesnt mean Rat Shite. Maybe it looks funny now, but after a while it might grow on us like the DS.
DCK Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 I guess I'll get used to whatever they name it. I got used to Xbox 360, so hey, Nintendo can barely go wrong.
21st century cowboy Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I think they should keep the Revolution name. Don't even bother with Revolution System. We'd all probably shorten it to Revo anyway. Most people who play games know the Revolution as the Revolution. Plus whats wrong with Nintendo being ballsy for a change and naming it that.
IMJ Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Even though I like the name Nintendo RS and makes a link to the Nintendo DS, it just sounds too much like Nintendo Arse, like someone stated previously. I don't see them keeping the name Revolution either. Do you realize how many products, services or trademarks has something called "Revolution" in it? It's too cliché and overused for such an innovative product. My bet is it'll be something universal, mainstream, that doesn't have a direct link to gaming and yet it does. Something along the lines like Nintendo Go, but then something else. Um, yeah, I'm being vague huh?
triforcemario Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 the best way of thinking of a name for the Rev.... is by asking the chavs: Ty say: The Nintendo PS360.
myster0n Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Well, if they really are going to pick another name, maybe they'll go with something along the lines of "Phoenix". Rising from its ashes. I'd like that.
The fish Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Regardless of what it's final name is (I think they will stick with Revolution) I'll still call it the rev, unless the new name is really good and really catchy.
Charlie Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Regardless of what it's final name is (I think they will stick with Revolution) I'll still call it the rev, unless the new name is really good and really catchy. If they do change the name and you still call it the Revolution 5 years down the line everyone (everyone being chavs etc) will be like "What the fuck is that?" Trust me, you wont call it that, they said that about the Xbox360 too
ZeldaFreak Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 It'll be called the "Nintendo Blue Wave" Evidence 1 : http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=audio&file=Ubisoft.wav Ubisoft proposed leak It translates roughly to “Ubisoft France Red Steel coming to System Nintendo Blue Wave”
mario_jr Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Nah. Heres what I think it should be called ready... Nintendo ES(Entertainment System). Thats what it should be, because its entertaining, and just like the original it will change how games are played, plus its going to have all those Retro games on it...Right. Am I right or am I super right. Oh yeah plus E comes after D. DS then the ES.
Guest Stefkov Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 it could be called the "nintendo games system which has poor specs compared to the ps3 and the xbox 360, however it can churn out some great graphics so fuck you all you whores who think that the revolution will fail....machine" yeah i think that will be good, the : Nintendo GSWHPSCTTPATXHICCOSGGSFYAYWWTTTRWFM catchy
mario_jr Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Nintendo ES Are you ready for a new Way to Play?
The fish Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Nintendo GSWHPSCTTPATXHICCOSGGSFYAYWWTTTRWFM pure class

Daroh Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I’m pretty sure I heard the Revolution being referred to as the Nintendo RS a few months before Red Steel was even announced publicly, but then again that could always be coincidence. Blue Wave would fit quite nicely with the wave like effects Nintendo WiFi seems to be putting forward (along with its colour scheme).
djamb3 Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 blue wave has NO charm. it's not catchy and it's ugly. They said we will love the name and it won't be rev so I believe RS is not the name for it.
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 They'll be hardpressed to come up with a name that sounds better than Revolution. That's my opinion on the matter. A lot of people don't even call it the Revolution. They refer to it as the Revo, or the Rev. The true makings of a good, catchy name.
xernobyl Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Blue Wave is really ugly for the console! It's more or less nice for the controler but for the console it's too bad. I guess the "Best" thing to do would be going back to "Power Rangers time" and start adding prefixes to the names like: Meganes, SuperCube... you know...
myster0n Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I've heard rumours it's going to be called the Nintendo OMGWTFBBQ!!!1!!one! I could be mistaken though :p

A few weeks ago, i was telling people that the console would be called the NFA. The Nintendo F*cking Awesome.
Calibur Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 All catchy system names have good nicknames. N64, The Cube, The Revo.
Raven Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 And where exactly are you from? Don't generalise, I haven't heard someone use that term for years, furthermore, I've hardly ever heard someone abbreviate it to RS. when i saw that in your msn name, the first thing i said to you was 'rat shit'. and i just asked everyone in my office.... and yeah. they said the same.
phez_boy Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 man i have no idea why all you aussies think that RS is an abriviation for rat shit. I have lived in melbourne my whole life (untill a year ago when i moved to geelong but i am still down in melb every w/end) and never ever heard this. i mean sure u can say rat shit, but i have never heard any1 telling some 1 what they said was 'RS', or 'thats a load of RS', or 'would u like some RS with ur tea?'
Owen Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Nope i think it's going to be called 'The Nintendo Motion'. The adverts headline is: Have you got the Motion? You move the controller in a 'motion', motion is all about 'movement'.
