I like it.

I hope its just a Japanese name...

Wow, now Im used to it. It took 2 minutes for me to sort of like the name...

Exactly. If they're going to choos anything out of the ordinary, it's going to sound strange at first.

I don't like this name, doesn't really seem to fit a game console. "I'm going to play my Wii" is just going to sound strange.

"...Ew..."

Good thing it's not Wii Wii...

"I'm going to play my Genesis."

"I'm going to play my Atari."

"I'm going to play my DS."

These only sound normal because you've heard them so long.

I'll buy it I'll just pretend or something that it's still called revolution, I don't know

I dont really like the name. I think that a lot of people would have liked it better if nintendo had announced it sooner. We've been calling the Wii Revolution for over a year now, and most people are still gonna call it that.

Also, if I say "Im gonna play my Wii" some of my friends are gonna make gross remarks. :laugh:

My wii tastes good.

My wii has wi-fi.

I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH.

Post by: UltraSpongeyDude on May 02, 2006, 07:14:57 am

I've tried to get used to this name, but I cant. Its just not that good of a name.

Plus, i've been trying to my friends to want one. How am I supposed to do that with a name like Wii?

I just hope that they reveal that it was all a big joke at E3. Or, at least say that they changed  the name back to Revolution due to the bad reaction.

good god, screw gameplay the way the name sounds is totally the reason you should buy a game system.

The trademark surfaces:

This probably means that Wii isn't just a hype setter. But, it still might. I hope Revolution comes back.
