  • Nintendo Next Gen Console: Wii

    http://revolution.nintendo.com

    the official name of the anticipated nintendo revolution has been revealed.

    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.

    ------------------

    i personally dont really like this name.. just sound really weird. and the name is also really easy to make jokes of. NeoGAF has a thread about it, about 15 pages of jokes of it.

    I have no problem with the name. I just want to see someone play the console so I could see how it is. Hopefully they do that at the E3 in may.

      Yeah it's definitely interesting. Nintendo is generally more about gameplay, and the controller makes it unique. I mean, have you ever played nintendogs? I don't care how great games look on a PSP, that shit is addicting.

        I already read the feature on "Red Steel", Ubisoft Montreal's (People who brought you Splinter Cell) new FPS Launch Title for the Wii (that name is definately gonna have to grow on me ... and fast). And looking at what they're doing with the controller and how it involves, you, the player as the starring role in this game. It'll be badass and I"m soooooo excited to try this out.

            Am I the only one that thinks that GC was the crappiest console ever game-wise? The only good game on it is Super Mario Smash Brothers.

            Anyways, the name Wii sounds like crap, they should have sticked to Revolution. Hope theres gonna be some good RPGs on this console.

            EDIT: LOOKING FORWARD TO E3!
            Sony is maybe gonna show their new redesigned Ps3 controller. Cause the old one who looked like a banana sucked design-wise.

                anyway, I think the name Wii is ok. Nintendo Wii just doesn't have that ring to it though. maybe cause it also almost spells "wifi" that they chose it
                I see no changes all I see is racist faces

                          Ps3 comes with a fucking Blue-Ray player. A single Blue-Ray player is gonna cost as much as a Ps3, or maybe more. Comparing prices is the stupiest thing you can do. Ps3 is gonna have the biggest game libary anyways.
