Nintendo's Revolution site has unveiled the new console name for the codename Revolution. It's the Nintendo Wii. revolution.nintendo.com/I'll be honest in saying that I really do not like the name. I much rather like the Revolution, but it's probably also due to the fact that we've been calling it that for a while now. Thoughts? |

It's a weird name, but we'll get used to it. I hated the "Revolution" name when it was revealed, I also laughed when I heard "Dreamcast" for the first time and Xbox 360? That was a punchline.

They've gone a long way from NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.

Yeah, but NES has a certain ring to it. But then, I'm an old fart gaming-wise.

Hoo boy. Nintendo really set themselves up for a ton of jokes.

I really don't see why they had to unleash that certain Wii upon us.

Well Wii...who knew...I didn't see that one coming. But considering the different direction that Nintendo usually takes in terms of consoles, I'd say that this is probably symbolic of something.
Still...funny name.

All the exclusive games better say "Only Wii can play it." on the cover.

I thought this quote was hilarious:
"Nintendo sums up the name change with the following comments. "So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."
