| I'm surprised there haven't any jokes in this topic. I mean, come on. It set up the chance to have the perfect name for the controller!

Wii is not WII, as is apparent by the logo. 
If it is a swerve by Nintendo... why? They've never done stuff like this before. If it isn't... then why isn't the copyright up yet? Slow filing? |

| Strange name or no, I just haven't seen enough to make me want to actually buy the Wii. I've seen lots of cool titles for the 360 like Gears of War, PD Zero, Kameo EOP and a host more, but the Wii? All I've heard is speculation, rumors and some not very helpful E3 shows. | |||

| .....I heard about this at work from a customer and I thought he was kidding.
WTF? Now I heard that Nintendo isn't worried about being one of the main consoles in this next gen war, and I think changing their name to this proves it. But I could be wrong. 
I talked to my Nintendo rep and he told me that the new system will be under $400. Hmm..I thought it was going to run in the $100's. |

| Make sure that when you go to http://revolution.nintendo.com/
you watch the ENTIRE movie thing and WAIT! THEN the text explaining why the heck they named it Wii will show up... The text does not start with "While the code-name"Revolution" kicked ass,... Here I will sumerize my opinion(I'll do it line by line with the text) 1-nothing to say here 2-nada 3-They're saying that Wii represents the answer, in the way it's spelled 4-To seperate video gamers, be unique. Wii 5-"More in touch with their games" bigger audience, RESPECT 6-nada 7-Wii=we (E for everyone>Wii for everyone) 8-"Easily remembered across the world" three letters; one syllable; Wii 9-"No need to abbreviate" (now try typing revolution 5 times fast)Wii Wii Wii Wii Wii 10-ii, controller shape... 11-... "gather for play" We, Wii 12-Wii is a wierd, new, Revolution name; revolution has been used before... 13-...We are new type of gamers (Wii are the champions!) 14-They... 15-...say... 16-...that... 17-..."Wii will change everything" Now my opinion: -People who think of Wii as a sexual term have sick minds -Nintendo invented the rumble controller, tilt-sensor controller(N64), memory cards, three way controllers(Left+middle for two stick games, left+right for Kirby and the crystal shards, middle+right for everything else), virtual gaming (VB)and touch screen gaming -Wi=Wi-Fi -ii=union, togetherness -Wii=we -Wii is what world peace should look like! -Wii are united, together, as one and can have good times, forget the bad, and play anywhere, anytime, with anyone -NES=Nintendo Entertainment System -SNES=Super Nintendo Entertainment System -VB=Virtual Boy -N64=Nintendo 64 -GCN=Nintendo Gamecube -GB=Gameboy -GBC=Gameboy Color -GBA=Gameboy Advance -GBASP=Gameboy Advance SP -DS=Nintendo DS -Wii=Wii The system itself(supposidly): -wireless controllers -play while eating a donut -turn the system off from across the room -interacts with the T.V(Yes we...Wii all remember Duck Hunt) -can download old games from the internet(hopefully not in the ROM format) -Can allow old controllers and a control stick to be plugged in and used And Wii="we" is a lot better than PSP="pissp", Wii has meaning Finally: If anyone on this site goes to the same school as me(will not say name) and keeps calling me a Nintendo fanboy, go back to your PS3's and Xbox360's, you PS fanboys and Xbox fanboys, F-U! F-U all Nintendo haters! and Wii will make a revolution to gaming as Wii know it and Pissp will not stop us! THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wii!  |

| The official site says it's pronounced "We" so I don't see how they're roman numerals. | |||

| Those aren't. What's roman numerals is the only thing currently trademarked to Wii. | |||

| It certainly is, a, er, "interesting" move by Nintendo. I couldn't care less, to be honest, as I doubt I'll be able to afford any next-gen consoles any time soon. Plus, I don't buy a game's console on the name alone. |

| Anya: Every Nintendo console's sold for $199 when released, so that's a possible price point. Speculation but still.
but the Wii? All I've heard is speculation, rumors and some not very helpful E3 shows. You must *really* hate Apple, then. |

Originally posted by ValcionOriginally posted by Clockwork JB Seconded. There are actual facts about the Wii such as game downloading and the controller (plus a few games, if I remember correctly), but as for the E3 shows? THERE HAS ONLY BEEN 1 SO FAR WITH THE REVOLUTION (2 at most)! Just shut up saying that the Xbox 360 is better. If it is better, DON'T mention it in a Nintendo thread as you Wii-ll (Heh, couldn't resist.) piss off others in this thread. Originally posted by Danielle "Can you direct me to the Wii?"
Anyway, if the price is below $400, I'll be happy. I'll be paying for something I'll play constantly, like DDR. I will probably play the Wii all the time when it comes out. It just seems... cool to do. |
