Adam007 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 http://revolution.nintendo.com/ It's called "Wii." For me, it'll always be "Revolution." I think the name "wii" just seems funny and is going to be made fun of all over the net (ytmnd anyone?). Like all things quirky about nintendo, we'll just get used to the weird name. (By the way, does anyone else just love the E3 buildup when suddenly everything starts getting announced?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPurpleCrayon Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I love me some Wii. Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I think it's meant to be pronounced differently... like "why". You know as in "WHYYYY?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I think it's meant to be pronounced differently... like "why". You know as in "WHYYYY?!" Nope heard it on the radio pronounced "wee" Parents are going to get worried when their children want to go round to their friends house to play with the 'wii' :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have to say that I will be calling it the Revolution, but that advertisement Adam linked to is almost as good as that NIKE ad.

tintmangbpack Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Ughh I don't like the name they should have been creative and called it the Ninetendo 720..... jk, I don't really care I will still call it the revolution. I also think the buildup before E3 is hilarious each company is trying to out do the other one. Good time to see next-gen games. Your true character is what you are like when you believe there are no repercussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Mummy... ive been grounded for a month now.. can i go play with my Wii Wii with my friends.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrune Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 i still think the new nintendo is going to go down the toilet in terms of sales. Yeh same. Emulation of the old school classics wont tempt anyone much. Playing Zelda : OOT, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye (with improved graphics maybe?) isnt so great. :roll: :roll: And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 As it's been said in many news articles: It's not like any of the other consoles are well named. All the major 3 on the market now are rediculously corny, and stuff like Game Boy sounds wierd when you think about it. Wii is funny, but I bet they will change it cuz aparently everyone hates it, but me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 only way im buying one is if a new zelda comes out for it, and goldeneye 64 comes back to it... i lost my cartrage.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 only way im buying one is if a new zelda comes out for it, and goldeneye 64 comes back to it... i lost my cartrage.. :(How could you do something like that :| I'm highly thinking that Twilight Princess is going to end up being a launch title for Revolution (bugger Wii, just doesn't sound or look right). Too many delays in the launch :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Rick, Miyamoto has already set Twilight Princess as the final game for the GameCube. I don't mind the name...I'll just call it the Revolution. It still will earn my purchase.

weezcake Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'll still get it, even if it has a weird name. Wiiiiiii! lol.

Godslayer Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I love you Nintendo, but if you think I'm calling my game station the 'wee', then you're sadly mistaken. I'm going to wright "Revolution" with a sharpie on some ducktape and slap it on the system, just so I never forget it's true name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayoszee Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 http://blog.wired.com/games/index.blog?entry_id=1467976 Worth a read for understanding a bit more behind the name. I saw it first on IGN, and knowing them, I didn't believe it. They pull stupid pranks all the time. It wasn't until I went to http://revolution.nintendo.com I think it had done its job. It most certainly got people talking. What an awesome way to get free press. I intend on running into the store yelling "Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" on release day. 98% of teenagers have been drunk or around alcohol.

LP Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Wii people play Wii games.. quote off of an engadget topic 15. This is possibly a stupid observation, but flipping the logo over presents a decent looking "M!!" Wanna bet that's gonna be in the startup screen for the next Mario game? stop wiineing about the name you wiiners... this is going to be a puntastic generation in gaming indeed...

indy500fan Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 when i first saw it i was like "what the hell?" now that i look at it again a few hours later, i dont think its that bad. kind of interesting, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 when i first saw it i was like "what the hell?" now that i look at it again a few hours later, i dont think its that bad. kind of interesting, actually. same, but in a timespan of a few minutes. I read their description, and basicly said they are making a console for everyone, not just the typical gamer. I deffinitly see nintendos focus, and I do like the name "Wii". hey, its better than calling your system the playstation THREE (gasp, thats something different.) :wink: . Anyways, I shall simply be waiting untill release date, i'm watching the system very closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
