i had just done a 12 hour shift, that was a bit too smart for me, you need to connect the dot's for me next time.

Lets just hope they don’t use the name of the console for sub titles on games (example mario 64), Mario wii doesn’t sound to appealing to me.

If I'm lucky, I might have a Wii before Christmas.

Person: AWhats that wee thing called there?

Lets not get the thread closed :/

Personaly, revolution sounded, suited...everything about the new console so well. Wii implies things completly differently? Togetherness, yes with the multiplayer bg of nintendo and the adverts of japense people going crazy with the controllers

Wii must also have a strong upcoming network possibilities aswell? Taking the new name, bringing people together...

Yet I can see how wii suits the console aswell.

Pish, it'll grow on me, make me giggle/smile everytime i see it

Plus its gonna be stuck in my head like a 9 inch nail. No forgetting this beauty of a name for a while is there?

My thoughts.

They probably only just figured out that 360 is a revolution

I'm gonna have to get some more mops for my shop floor then

and plenty of wet floor signs

I think it is possible they could not use the spelling "We" is because of the Swedish Clothing brand We, but then again they are different markets.

I am unsure about the name, but I am sure we will all accept it once the console is out.

You have GOT to be kidding me !!!!

Looks great written down, and will probably look equally great on the side of the Wii, but actually saying it !?!?!?! :confused:

Please SOMEBODY, tell Ninty that it means urine over here....

melchy · 28 Apr 2006 at 08:43

Got to say, im quite liking some of the images that are surfacing already. I really think that the big N may not have thought this through all that well as far as the Europeeing market goes.

I want to believe in you Nintendo, but your making it so difficult these days

PinkPig · 28 Apr 2006 at 09:38

I'm yet to be convinced either way, I don't think it's an inherently bad name.

Moonpie2 · 28 Apr 2006 at 09:57

Can someone start a petition to get its name changed back ?
www.petitiononline.com

I'd do it myself but I'm feeling a little unmotivated this morning after having my Nintendo world shattered

I went through years of defending the Gamecube against people calling it the Gaycube, I'm damned if I'm going through all that again !!!!

LOLS, AT LEAST ITS NOT CALLED GAYSTATION!!!!!!!!
