Wii is alright I guess, I mean, people will probably just grow out of it and call is Rev anyway since it's been revolution for such a long time.

I honestly thought it was the hugest typographical error and Nintendo was naming their console after Wifi....

I doubt anyone would call it the Rev after the system is out. I never see anyone call the GameCube the Dolphin or the N64 the Ultra 64. Those codenames were around for a while too.

altho im still kinda partial to NINTENDOGO!!! but NINTENDOWII! will do just fine.

I can forgive the name now that I've seen the animation, though I do like this one more:

I'd say it's about as stupid sounding as Windows ME.

I mean, it's called Win ME for crying out loud. But most people didn't seem to care anyway.

Maybe, just maybe, you guys should consider the fact that you don't represent the mainstream population? And maybe you don't even represent the people Nintendo is trying to market this to?

I know it's hard, but it's just a thought.

sooo... you're comparing it to the most unpopular version of windows they ever made? interesting. (not saying it sold the worst, but it was obviously the one people in general hated the most) and i remember its name took a lot of raggin on too.

i like the name, its fun. and stands out. i dont think it'll be much of a problem. no need to defend everything nintendo does with ones life. its just a name. and i think xantars right, nintendos not marketing this towards its fans and customers like all the nintendo fans on this forum or others.... its marketing it towards all the wee little people in the world.

Which is pretty fantastic if you ask me.
