| Anya mentioned it will be 'below $400'.
That's the only official word we've gotten from Nintendo. $200 or $100 is, in fact, below $400. 
Anyway, if you haven't read this article, give it a read: http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3150107&did=1 It really does make some more sense, now. Think about it: where is Nintendo making their money? Japan. Duh. The English-speaking countries have put Nintendo in 3rd place in favor of 'cool' systems, while Nintendo is thriving in Japan. So they could either have a name that's stupid to Japanese, or a name that's stupid to Americans. And since the Japanese are the ones eating their games up, wouldn't it make sense for them to have a more appealing name to the Japanese. I get annoyed when I hear gamers talk about about Nintendo is alienating us--we alienated THEM in favor of Sony and Microsoft. Sony is doing well in America and Japan, and Microsoft is basically eating up in America what Sony isn't, so it only makes sense for Nintendo to concentrate their efforts in Japan, where they're dominating the competition. And people here in America who want to experience the Wii are gonna buy it ANYWAY, regardless of its name, and the Japanese don't have to struggle trying to say 'Lehvorushun-nu.' Or whatever. |

| There have been different names in different countries, but Nintendo said it is going to be called the Wii everywhere. | |||

That's probably what I'll do if I can find any Revolution stickers. I actually did that with my Gamecube, but the sticker says Gamecube.  (I don't mind that name. They're just for looks.)(edited by HyperMackerel on 04-30-06 11:24 PM) |

I understand the reactions of people who don't like the name. I've seen some good arguments against it. I find that the really silly, kneejerk reactions are an even better read, though.  |

| Kotaku said that a Nintendo racing game for the Wii is going to be shown at E3.
If it's NOT a Mario Kart game using the controller to steer... *rage* |

| Why WOULD it be? That'd be very awkward. I can't imagine it working.
But then again. Nintendo. But then again, Virtual Boy. |

Nobody imagined Madden with the controller working, but the description of how you control the QB... it's interesting.  |

| That at least makes SENSE, though. This controller... Not so much. I suppose left/right with stick moves, A is accelerate, B is brake, and then the trigger attachey thing has stuff for powersliding and items, but... Still. |

| I am sure that they are going to use the controller for aiming manual shooting weapons as you drive or something like that if it were Mario Kart.
Then again, Mario Kart DS didn't make full use of the DS, so... maybe they will just make it... Mario Kart... without using the rotation of the controller. |

| Wii doesn't sound so bad now. I've put some thought into things, put things into perspective.
It's not so bad. There are worse product names.. |

Of course, they might be these days. Junior high was ages ago. |
