Revolution? Yeah right. Official name is:

Lurch1982 · 04-27-2006, 12:41 PM

Watch movie at:

http://revolution.nintendo.com/

Official name: Nintendo Wii (Pronounced "we").

The hype train is derailed. Worst. Name. Ever.

**Sean P Kelly** · 04-27-2006, 02:29 PM

I'm undecided.

Personally, I'd probably end up pronouncing it "Nintendo Double-You Eye Eye" instead of "Nintendo We," since it rolls off the tounge better.

Sir Dark, The Hunter · 04-27-2006, 02:45 PM

I said yes because a name doesn't make a system, it's playability does

Lurch1982 · 04-27-2006, 02:47 PM

Well, its like that stupid saying "A rose is a rose by any other name," but I sure as hell am not going to give my girlfriend a rose if its called a Stinkflower.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go play with my Wii.

Lurch1982 · 04-27-2006, 02:53 PM

^I hate when I have to agree with you.

Sir Dark, The Hunter · 04-27-2006, 02:54 PM

Noooooooooooo! Not Old Yeller!

Why can't they just call the system the one that doesn't suck for a change, that'll get ppl to buy it lol

seriously, the system does need a better name, any suggestions anyone? Mines the lumberjack in hopes that it cuts down the other systems w/out killing itself in the process

ZUBAT!?!? · 04-27-2006, 03:07 PM

i trust nintendo to make a good playable system, not nesecarily with good graphics but fun with a good story and good charactors

Inferno Dragon · 04-27-2006, 03:07 PM

Wii are not amused.

**NintendoNut** · 04-27-2006, 03:07 PM

Christ.

Sir Dark, The Hunter · 04-27-2006, 03:08 PM

agreed nintendonut, Inferno, get some better material

Inferno Dragon · 04-27-2006, 03:11 PM

you're right, that was a bit wiieak, wii need to come up with better material don't wii

Sir Dark, The Hunter · 04-27-2006, 03:14 PM

*slaps inferno*

calm dow & get ashold of yourself man!

wii are not going to stand for this stupidity, especially me

Inferno Dragon · 04-27-2006, 03:33 PM

wiiii this is fun, wii need to do more of this. I will rate someone the highest that they can be rated if they come up with the best "wii" one liner. I give it til next thursday!

Sir Dark, The Hunter · 04-27-2006, 03:46 PM

no one cares!

Wii don't care, wii don't give a crabapple, & wii would rather slam our head against the wall than do this, wouldn't wii?

***Ace Mercury*** · 04-27-2006, 03:49 PM

I remember hating the name Gamecube when they revealed that. But this... maybe I'll get used to it. But, having heard the term Revolution over and over again, I agree that the new name sounds kind of stupid.

Maybe, it's just the Japanese name. Like, the Famicom for the NES. It's not... impossible.

**Sean P Kelly** · 04-27-2006, 04:02 PM

You do have to agree with one thing.

It is more original than Playstation 3 or X-Box 360

Koga · 04-27-2006, 04:08 PM

I think it's incredibly lame, and I really doubt whether I'll get it (not because of the name though). I lost interest in gaming altogether, and the only thing that I find appealing about this console so far is the ability to download older games.

Sir Dark, The Hunter · 04-27-2006, 04:10 PM

I refuse to buy a sys unless I test it so I have to be neutral w/ the sys but as for the controller... NINTENDO YOU DINGBATS!

Lurch1982 · 04-27-2006, 04:13 PM

Nope, announced on the English site too. They want a universal name, and by universal they mean Engrish.

That may be, but I don't hear kids saying "I need to Xbox360-Xbox360" when they go into the bathroom.

Joker · 04-27-2006, 04:34 PM

I assume its the same idiot in Nintendo head quarters that went "GAME CUBE SHOULD BE KIDDY PURPLE !!! AND SHOULD APPEAR ON BARNEY COMMERCIALS !! " that suggested this offical name.
