That's sh** beyond belief. Are Nintendo's marketing departement run by retarded monkeys or something? -_-

My sentiments from another forum:

*battery leaks in controller*

"My Wii smells funny..."

---

"Just going to Gamestation for a Wii"

---

"I've got [a] Wii on my table"

Nintendo have been contacted directly, and they're not having a laugh. This is genuine.

Are they trying to make this console fail? Already it's far less powerful than 360 and PS3, and it has a very different control method to the others. The least they could do is give it a name that doesn't sound as if it came out of a meeting during 'Bring your toddler to work'-Day.

F***. Off. Nintendo. You. Absolute. RETARDS. ¬_¬

I, and many other Nintendo fans will just not accept this. If this is to be the 100% official name, I will forever call it the Revolution. Doesn't mean i'm not gonna buy it though.

Heck, the old Nintendo Dolphin idea is looking pretty sweet right now...


Then again, they changed Famicom to Nes in the West, perhaps Wii will just be used in Japan, with us getting a Westernised name because of all the references they're gonna get to urine.

Surely they're taking the pi*s?

See it's so open to crappy jokes D:

It's a bit of a let down compared to the awesome title of the "Revolution," maybe we should just keep calling it that?

Everybody shut up. Liek nowz. Kthnx.

Erm....yeah.....it's the fecking name of the console. Do you think that will matter when you're kicking arse on SSB? Or when you're killing stuff as Link? No, it won't, so stop *****ing about the bloody name. >>; If it bothers you that much, then just don't by the console, and feel sorry for yourself when you realise you've made a mistake.

Anyway, I personally think Revolution was better, but still, Wii will do.

Kay bai.

You gotta' admit it's a sucky name :(

But I don't think anyone was taking it that seriously, we were just pointing out that as a name it sucks. >>;

Man, this is the shittyest name that have ever been given to a console EVER.
Never the less, I shall still be queueing up outside a games store in London in the early hours of the day to get my new Nintendo "Wii" (or whatever they decide to call it if they change its name bringing it to the US and Europe) and will love it.

My faith in Nintendo won't die, it has just taken a hit with this frankly appauling name.

Wii huh?

Well, I can't even imagine all the crappy puns this system is going to have put against it by the rabid Sony fanboys of America. XD Anyways, the name of the console fits what they are after. No, if you read you would see they say it's a name everyone around the world would understand with no need to abr. >_>; Still, fanboys of Nintendo will buy this even if the console was called the Nintendo "crap" system. Nintendo wants to shake up the gaming industry, and they will. However, it's do or die for Nintendo now ladies and gentlemen. ^_^

Well, of course I'll still buy it and many others will since we're all still Nintendo fans.

But it doesn't stop the name sucking the biggest piece of *** ever. Wii is the lamest name for a console in the history of gaming - even Gizmondo is better.

Since this news was announced by Nintendo of America and confirmed to people by Nintendo of Europe, I think we can safely say it's not the Japan-only name.

Could change, I guess, but considering t

Idiot. >>; If you want to think that's what the message is, feel free to. The rest of us will just laugh at people like you.

Seriously, it's not that bad of a name. It's just that retards are blowing the hole piss thing out of proportion, making jokes every other line. If they'd just shut up, then there'd be nothing wrong.

But it is slang for p*ss, thus it isn't a great name.

I love it. I love the message, the style and everything about it.

And I really wish everyone mother ****ing "HARDCORE!!!!!11" gamer would shut the **** up.

I don't think we claimed we were "hardcore" gamers, but go figure. ;)

Btw you're right, it's a great message and a great set of ideals but they could have sent out that message in some other way D:

Well, at least you understand that.

I am on IGN as well and that is why I am all pissy about those ****ers who think they are so high and ****ing mighty.

But I love the logo, love the style and love what the name is supposed to mean. I just wish others could see it that way.

Maybe it is cause the japanese aren't ****ing retards and that Nintendo of America was optimistic.

Oh don't get me wrong, I get the message that they're trying to convey (Wii = We, gaming for everyone etc.) but it's a poor choice of name.

They could have come up with something far better, and still put across the same message.

Like? I mean the logo shows so much. I can't see anything that really represents so many things so simply.

Did you see how much they could do in such a short video just using the logo?
