Nintendo Revolution named. Prepare to cry.
 
The final name for the Revolution is:

Argh. Why would they do that? It's pronounced "Wee" by the way.

http://revolution.nintendo.com if you think I'm joking.

WTF? I can't even understand the point of renaming it at all now that everyone calls it the Revolution :crazy:.

NcroManiac 04-27-2006 08:35 AM

It's even worse than I dreamed!!!! 0_o
How can they screw it up that badly!!!
Like the name of a Fisher Price Toy, suggests it's harmless and suitable for preschoolers....

RLacey 04-27-2006 08:36 AM

Mind you, Wii™ can now start a really annoying internet fad where Wii™ all write the word "Wii™" as Wii™ instead!111one!eleven!!!

So, who's with Wii™ me?

NcroManiac 04-27-2006 08:37 AM

"Don't worry Sony and Microsoft. It's just our Wii little console....
Wiire compleetly harmless"

RLacey 04-27-2006 08:39 AM

That's the spirit! Wii™ can easily Wii™n everyone off using the "e" in Wii™!

Kingzjester 04-27-2006 09:09 AM

This is freakin' rethahded.

Starflux 04-27-2006 09:14 AM

And I was so looking forward to the Revolution, with images of Ernesto Guevara popping up. What graphic image will they use for Wii? Wait, skip that.

It's horrible.

Jackal 04-27-2006 09:15 AM

Screw that, I'm pronouncing it "why", because that's certainly what I'll be thinking every time it comes up.

artwking4 04-27-2006 09:16 AM

Is there any chance that the site was hacked and that's what some joker put up there? :crazy:

Huz 04-27-2006 09:21 AM

I can't wait until next year! I need a wee right now!

It's like they thought of the best way to make us cry.

RLacey 04-27-2006 09:29 AM

What a Wii™ly good idea!

Hammerite 04-27-2006 09:32 AM

I know with the controller they were trying to inch away from the sane crowd but now they've gone too far away and have entered the realms of retarded stupidity calling their console Wii.
WII!
FOR GODS SAKE, ITS BLOODY CRAP!!

mrdriller 04-27-2006 09:51 AM

That's fantastic. Even if the name was Steaming Pile.. Wii would still buy it anyway. :P
Because it's really not about you or me, its about Wii.

I actually like it, but I guess I'm the only one.

Introducing … Wii.
As in “we.”

While the code-name “Revolution” expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.

Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.

Wii will put people more in touch with their games … and each other. But you’re probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like “we,” which emphasizes this console is for everyone.

Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.

Wii has a distinctive “ii” spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.

And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.

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.
It sure beats Xbox 360.

NcroManiac 04-27-2006 09:51 AM

Why not just REV? I know it sounds stupid, but if they have to have it only three letters long, they might as well just downsize their project title....

bigjko 04-27-2006 09:51 AM

*sigh*

Well, they never could've called it anything satisfactory, so they might as well do something no-one expected.

EDIT: Strangely, after seeing the little video of the little i's hopping around playign videogames, I suddenly liked the name.. :o

kuze 04-27-2006 09:56 AM

Wii™. Now with WiiFi™, GameWhiil™ and Wii™lly good games.
...
They better make it a really good console to make up for the name.
