Jay Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Oh. Dear. God. Why Nintendo? Wii? Thats if it is what we're all assuming it is, which I'm willing to bet it isn't. They're not that stupid. Are they? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 It could be fake..? It sounds very new age Nintendo though.. I will be referring to it as "Nintendo" if this is truth. - Wanna play some Nintendo? - Wanna play some we? One sounds very unhygienic and the others ounds like fun.

Pestneb Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 um... wii I don't like. the logo I don't like. the video, I do like. but yeah. I think the name sucks. to be fair though, I struggle to think of an appropriate name. in french I guess it will sound a bit like "yes" in english english (not sure about american/australian/canadian etc)it sounds a bit unfortunate :/ what about other languages? I think I might want to hear it pronounced before I finally judge the name though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GigaPlay Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Maybe if enough people hate it, they'll change it. Go is 10* better then Wii. Not to mention the slagging I'd get from my brother for having one. He's always doing this "we" bollox. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarka Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I like it. I dunno why, but I just like it. Wii is a cool kinda futury name, sounds space age and weird new technology. I dunno, to me it sounds beautiful. Pah, maybe I'm too much of a fanboy and I just like everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, to me it sounds beautiful. Pah, maybe I'm too much of a fanboy and I just like everything! Im a Ninty fanboy but that is just too much to take. Just when E3 was looking good they go and shoot themselves in the foot. The name just doesnt sound catchy at all. 360 PS3 Wii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatnickc Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Revolution was a far better name, in my opinion. However, perhaps I'll grow to like it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domo Kun Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I thought it was a crap name, until… 'Wii can be remembered by everyone around the world no matter what language they speak. No confusion, no need to abbreviate.' Now consider that Re-vo-lu-tion is a four-syllable word. It's meaningless to non-English speakers, and it'd be hard to say. The English speaking market wouldn't appreciate a four-syllable Japanese word, meaning the same/a similar thing, especially if it was hard to pronounce. Then again, I'm not that bothered what it's called, as long as it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Man the name suck's it barely mean's anything.This has got to be a wind up or a conspiracy or something.On NoE site aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 C'mon that's the best they can do! I can understand why HD is not included but how much money does it cost to come up with a good name? What a fugly word! They had a great name, alot of people knew it and they leave it so late to change it to this. Revolution says something this says .... ? I don't care what the website says. Stop pissing me off Nintendo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
