hybrid_snyper Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Nintendo has finally gave use a revolution with the name change to there new console, but it seems the fans are less than happy with new name 'Nintendo Wii' (we). Heard of one nintendo slogan Eat, Sleep and Wii Not bad? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hold on, let me get this straight... Nintendo have changed the name of the Revolution to Nintendo Wii? Is this a joke or are you being serious? :P EDIT: Oh... oh no. You are. http://revolution.nintendo.com/ Are Nintendo purposely shooting themselves in the face with this console, or is it just me? :D Oh dear. Did they even bother checking what it sounds like to English speakers? Yes, the entire world will remember the name, America and the U.K. especially, which make up a large part of the market. ^^; It is just a name, I know, but still, it's pretty... lame. This combined with the positively unappetising controller system and no show of any really decent titles (mostly kiddish ones again to my knowledge) just makes me all the more think that this console could kill Nintendo. But maybe there are still enough fans to make them reasonable competition for Sony and Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex128 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 yeah, first a funny controller [which could be a good thing].. now this funky name? er... yeah... revolution was cool...

Serenade Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 SteamPowered Forums thought of the wii Well with a funny name comes a funny line, here are what the Steam Powered forums believe in the nintendo wii. funny stuff :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I guess with that name, everybody is hoping that Nintendo is just taking the, erm, you know ... wii? I have no idea how anyone might think that a console with that name could be marketed decently, and with the other not-so-really publicity they've received so far, I daresay their new console is doomed to failure.

LOL. ;D I have always been a Big N fan, since NES, but they really are trying my patience. They killed the N64 with too many namby-pamby kids games, and then the GC hardly ever got off the ground for the same reason. NOW they're just going to throw away several billion Yen and not even bother making games for it! Regarding the new name, well I think they want it to sound like it's as much fun as sliding down a slide in a kids' play park: "Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.............." or it's initials for "Wierd, isn't it?" or the marketing manager had a brainwave, "What if I....?" or "Whatever is it?" Lordy knows I hope I'm wrong, and they may yet surprise us all, but my money's not on it! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercbird Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Ever heard what the snail said on the turtle's back..."Wiiiiiiiii" Yep, the demon gods of sales and marketing. Barf. :ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveme4whoiam Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 .chaos, this is pretty old, and that post wasn't exactly adding much new to the conversation. Thread necromancy is a bit annoying, especially with a post such as that. Just a heads up to keep you off the radar of our friendly neighbourhood mods :D I did hear the other day that Nintendo are going to change the name again after everyone cried with laughter at the Wii and the even better Wii wand. Any ideas if this is true anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
