The Revolution's Name

[fhqwhgads]

What do you want it to be called? I wouldn't mind the Revolution, personally. And for those of you who don't know, Revolution is the code-name for it.

 

[hi 5]

I thought that Nintendo officially named it Revolution.That would be smart.

 

[ghost master]

Revolution is a code name, but I don't see them changing any time soon since the GameCube was called GameCube for the longest time instead of Dolphin.

True but I suspect at E3 its true name will be revealled. Its been iterated and hinted so many times it would change and this latest ign interview at GDC confirms it.

IGN: Is Revolution the final name of your new system?

Beth: No, it's not.

IGN: So it's definitely a codename?

Beth: It's a codename.

IGN: And it's going to change?

Beth: It is going to change.

IGN: Great. When are you going to reveal the final name?

Beth: Well, you're going to have to wait and see.

IGN: E3?

Beth: Not quite sure yet.

IGN: Somehow we think that's a lie.

not to mention many other executives at one point were stating we were finally gonna hear the name early 2006 but then Nintendo anounced everything would be revealled at E3 and the executives stopped saying it.

I have been wondering for ages now what the actual name of the console will be, but i suppose that there are a million and more names that nintendo could choose to name it.

I remember nintendo copywriting some names the other year... problem is, i do not remember what they were. LOL

I hope they give it a real name, and not use numbers or initials, like N64!

I think Nintendo Supernova would rock!

 

[ghost master]

I hope they give it a real name, and not use numbers or initials, like N64!

Its name was the nintendo 64. It was just more popular to say N64 instead. Same for PS, PS2, PSP, PS3. All stand for playstation *insert ending*

 

[ShiningClefairy]

I hope they give it a real name, and not use numbers or initials, like N64!

By that logic, they could only use numbers, or just call it Nintendo, because anything can be turned into initials. X360, PC, SNES, NES, VB, GBC, GB, GBA, NDS, PSP, PS2, PSX, PS3, SGG, SMS, N64, GCN, and SCD from the top of my head.

I know that "GC" stands for GameCube, but what does "GCN" Stand for? Gamecube Network or somthing?

I think revolution would be just fine, I thought the same about Dolphin. Some of the disignes Ive seen for it make it look like a slimed PS2, so maybe "GameCube 2"

 

[Silverwing]

so maybe "GameCube 2"

No, GameCube didn't sell very well compared to other systems, and having the name connect to the GameCube will be a bad marketing strategy.

Yeah, besides, we saw the pictures of it, right? It doesn't even LOOK like a Gamecube.
If anything, it would be named....ummmm....okay, I'm stumped.

 

[EmberStar the Blaziken]

tHE NINTENDO go? xd

Personnaly I hope it stays revoloution!

 

[MugenKeiji]

Nintendo X
OmNintendo
Nintendo Conquest
Nintendo Omega
Nintendo Slaveowner
Nintendo Messiah
Nintendo AYB
Nintendo Universe
Nintendo WandMaster

Geez, this is hard.

 

[Silverwing]

I liked the Revolution just fine actually. The name fits it just perfectly with all the "revolutionary" changes they made to gaming. I'm with Da Master of Unowns, I'm stumped.

 

[fhqwhgads]

It's not even a cube. >_>... And I think GCN is just GameCube, Nintendo. That fits, so I call it that.

 

[Silverwing]

I've heard that Nintendo GO was a probable possibility.

I thought thats what Nintendo was going to call the program that allowed you to by NES, SNES and N64 games off of. But maybe I'm wrong, I would hate GO as the name. I mean, it sounds horrible. Example, now we say, "Lets go play GameCube". If it is the name, then it would be, "Lets go play GO" It makes no sense.

 

[PUrEHearT]

I have to say, Nintendo Revolution sounds better than all of the ideas posted above. No offense.

 

[Fox]

The Gamecube is a cube with the Gameboy Player on it 8D.

As for the Revolution, I think Ninty best stick with Revolution. I'll be calling mine Bob though.

Edit: Too bad they don't have a handle on the Rev. like the GCN does

 

[fhqwhgads]

Nintendo 64 was called such because it as 64-bit.

And to market the fact it had 64-bit tech. Most PCs only had 32 at the time. They could name it the Penguin, and it should come with a black skin that doesn't cover the whole thing...But then there's the multi-color system problem. They could name it the HaInYourFaceSony/MicrosoftWeMadeABetterConsole! Or they call it the Multi-ColoredRectangleOfAwesomeness. Ya know, either or.

 

[Aikou Bupiggu]

I've not read the whole thread, but GO would make sense. The Came-Oid, The Came Cuboid, as I said, haven't read the thread, so this may have already been stated -_-;

 

[Puffs]

I'd like to call it the Micro-sony Demolition Unit... MDU
