Posted April 27, 2006 Here's a link to the interview, in which he discusses the name Wii and generally talks about E3 and the system itself... http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200604/N06.0427.1154.38678.htm and a snippet from the interview that is good to see: GI: It’s been rumored that the new big Revolution secret is the fact that the nun chuck controller is also motion detecting… Atwood: Really. That’s interesting. I would say 9:30 in the morning on Tuesday of E3 will be filled with surprises and I would just show up. Because there’s been a ton of speculation. Some of it’s right. Some of it’s not. We’d say that if that’s the only secret you’re expecting you’re going to be very surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2006 So its a secret much bigger than the nun chuck being motion detective too, surely it can't be anything other than a visual disruptor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2006 Surely it has to be a toaster... or a cold fusion unit at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 27, 2006 The virgin example is very good, I mean when people say they are "going to Virgin Megastore" or "Subscribing his Virgin phone contract" they don't really think about it sexually, they just say it. I just think its a weird relation, I mean: River -> Online Retailer [Amazon] Happy slang word -> Search Engine [Yahoo!] An anagram of the word 'fuck' -> Clothes designer [FCUK] ... Toilet referrence -> Video games console [Wii] ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2006 Well said Stocka. As for the next secret, I think it will be a name change of the console to 'Nintendo FetangFetangBiscuitBarrel' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was an all girls halls at my uni. We used to call it Virgin Megastores. And by me I don't mean me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 27, 2006 surely it can't be anything other than a visual disruptor? 1. What in the holy buggery is a 'visual disruptor' and 2. It can easily be anything but that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 27, 2006 An anagram of the word 'fuck' -> Clothes designer [FCUK] FCUK stands for 'French Connection UK' (United Kingdom). It's the name of the fashion label plus the division, much like L'Oréal Paris or similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 29, 2006 anyone read the Wii interview with the UK PR guy at cubed3: http://www.cubed3.com/news/4997 quote: C3: Can we expect the Wii to hit Europe at the end of November, as is being speculated by some websites? RS: Everything on the internet and in print to date is pure speculation as we have not announced any specific launch details. I can confirm however that we are committed to a 2006 launch. Always good to hear it again:) lets just hope he's telling the truth:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
