News The Revolution has a name - Nintendo Wii

I'm just feeling sorry for the Scots.

"Och im just wanting one of those wee Wiis"

 

I can't believe that people are so bothered by the name

gamecube, playstation, xbox, megadrive: imo sound far sillier than a proper name but we're just used to them

 

Good point! It's certainly a talking point.

 

why change the name now

everyone knows it as the revolution

pfft stupid nintendo

not that i will ever buy the console, i hate nintendo's gaming selection (and marketing stratagey)

Ok guys, in gonna go take a leak on my new wii .....

 

"Right, the gamecube was a massive success but it really pissed me off when idiots called it the 'gaycube'. We need a name that people can't make stupid jokes about...."

"How about wii?"

"Perfect!"

 

[little britain] I need a Wii [/little britain]

 

roffles

I bet he was like "But I NEED ONE NOOOW DAAAAAD" whilst holding his crotch with both hands and tippy toeing on the spot.


Personally Im going for the Nintendo YaRly!, just because it's awesome and to the point.

 

No, but most people would pronounce biif as beef because a double ii is a bugger to pronounce.

First time ever that having wii on your console has been a good thing

X is usually a good letter to associate with something, the Nintendo XXX

 

nintendo say it is pronunced 'We'
and it it's also known as offically the 'N-Wii'

err ennui? oh **** they really dropped the ball on that one:
n.
Listlessness and dissatisfaction resulting from lack of interest; boredom

this remembers me of a graphics card that has XXX on the name. pornographic graphics card

make a french guy say wii. "yes?"

 

just think of the EBay adds for the Wii :S

my take on it

LMAO, This is one of the funiest names I've seen for a system in a while..... But you have to ask yourselves one question........

How BIG is Nintendo's Wii.....

 

Funny, but it would more likely be Redoryushon (re-do-ryu-sho-n).

Seriously though, I think there have been jokes about the official name of every console. In time we will get use to it.

 

I dislike the name Wii, I dislike the controller, I really dislike how Nintendo actually believes they have a chance of "revolutionizing" gameing. Gameing has evolved over time into a system that works great. Don't mess with something that is not broken, unless your just trying to over-hype your next product. . .

Who's going to queue up at midnight so they can be first in line for their wii?

I must admit, the wait is going to be frustrating; in fact, I'll be fit to burst at times. But, at the end of the day, I can console myself with the fact that, now the pressure's off, I can sit down and enjoy a nice long wii'ing session.

 

wii, viiv... what is with all this double "i" crud, and why can't we get a decent product name.

 

oh, check this out, its hillarious. http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic

The OTHER name.

 

Well, its much better, I have to admit.

At least it would probably appeal more to adult male audiences. After all, it does have a vertical slot loading disk drive...

I was gunna git one but dear god! that name is h o r r i b l e!!!!!
What idiot came up with that??
I mean can I really have my little sister and her ten year old friends asking if they can play with my wii?!?!?!
NO I CANNOT

The console looked sweet expecially with the downloadable old games, but I am afraid that a rose by the name of wii does not smell as sweet (ewww...=( sorry; blame nintendo)
