Nintendo GO ?

Could be the real actual real name for the Revolution.

Crappy name if it is true but who knows with Nintendo. DS isn't exactly inspiring.

Apparently go means 5 in Japanese so it could be Nintendo 5...

Could be the name of the online service?

Moogman · 23 Mar 2006 at 17:21

Could be Go means 5 in Japan and the revo is the 5th console so the revo will be called either the N5 or Nintendo go or it could just be the name of the internet service like xbox live.

It'll not be called Nintendo Go.
Its too much like Nintendog o

Plus the logo is too much like the gamecube one and its a tad too kiddish.

Or maybe I just hope to god its not called the Nintendo Go

There's nowt wrong with Revolution.

doesn't look very 'childish' to me

Moonpie2 · 23 Mar 2006 at 18:49

Well you're wrong and I'm right

Heheh

What I mean is that a purple 3Dimensional d-pad type logo doesn't seem to fit in with the sleek apple-esque design of the console and controler.

It does look more like a logo you would see on a kids toy.
To me anyway.

I thought revolution was a good name, bit of a mouthful tho.

Less syllables than Xbox360 though.

And all that means jack all, no?

Wouldn't mind if it was called the Nintendo GO

Just hoping we get to see some games soon

spinna · 23 Mar 2006 at 22:02

i think Nintendo GO is a great name

Its an opinion.
Forums are full of them you know !!

just reading, it seems that the Revolution/Go will apparently be able to play Sega MD games and TerboGrafix games the same way it will play classic Nintendo ones.

Iwata also announced partnerships with Sega and Hudson to offer downloadable access to their classic games via Revolution’s Virtual Console. Revolution owners will be able to relive their past gaming glories from the Sega Genesis console by playing a “best of” selection from more than 1,000 Genesis titles, as well as games sold for the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). These games join Revolution’s access to 20 years of fan-favorite Nintendo games from the NES, Super NES and Nintendo 64 eras.

Playability of all Nintendo games, oh HELLS YEAH!

jklc · 24 Mar 2006 at 05:35

Revolution's a cool name but its just a name. Everyone thought Dreamcast was all fruity when it was announced but we all still love it today

\o/ Great news.

Moonpie, way to dance around the point.

Weebull · 24 Mar 2006 at 09:15

Just read myself about the Rev playing Mega Drive games, absolutely fantastic.

Moonpie2 · 24 Mar 2006 at 09:24

Kreeeee, why not try contributing to the post ?
What point did I dance around exactly ?
Your highly witty response to my 2nd post perhaps ?

Let me break it down for you.

1) I had an opinion about the thread topic so I joined in
2) I had a bit of a joke about it with my tongue out smiley so Player wouldn;t take my jibe too seriously
3) I then went on to make my point and explain my reasons
4) I finished off by saying "To me anyway" showing that it was purely my opinion and not 100% absoloute fact

Then what happened is I think you took a wrong turning and ended up in this thread when you were actually looking for one called "Make a retarded statement that you think makes you sound cool"

If you want to talk about the possibility of the Revolution being called the Nintendo Go, then by all means talk about it and provide your opinion like we're all allowed to. If you disagree with me, then that's fine too. Maybe you could post why you disagree.
If you purely want to attack people's posts then try elsewhere.
