Does anyone else think the name Wii sounds really dumb? Revolution (the original name) sounds so much better. "I'm gonna go play Revolution" sounds awesome, whereas "I'm gonna go play Wii" sounds like you're talking about masturbation. Not to mention the whole "hold your wee for a Wii" fiasco and the fact that it sounds like a personal pronoun and ends with two i's.
What is your opinion on the name Wii, and do you think the console should have been called something else instead? (We're only talking about the NAME, not the actual console.) |

Hasn't this been discussed a million times already? I think everyone liked the name Revolution better (I know I did) but there isn't anything anyone can do about it now. |

Why not Nintendo N⁵ or something like that? It would be better than Wii  |

super nintendo gameboy 64DS MK-IV ²⁵⁵ 1.9.6a dx advance
Abreviated snm4xa ... I call it "Revolution" most of times... Wii and mostly the Miis for some reason remind me of tingle  ____________________ Generated a 991044 foot, 10.4-inch twiggy catgirl with orange hair, who weighs 315,239,939,065.9 pounds and has soft A-cup breasts, and it only took 0.00031 seconds. |

I was surprised when Wii was announced as the official name for the console. After a while, I got used to the name.
I used to call it the Revolution when the name "Wii" was barely announced but I don't do that anymore nowadays.  |

Flurry #&postrank& When I first heard about "Wii", I thought it was the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi 
"Revolution" did sound nice for a new revolutionary console, but since it's only the codename (like Nintendo DS was "Nitro") ... I felt the same when the "Dolphin" was officially named Gamecube, but I eventually get used to the official name ____________________ |

I think the console should have been called the Nintendo N⁵ because it's the fifth Nintendo console after the NES, SNES, N64, and Cube. |

The only thing bad about Wii is that fun can be prodded with the name.
I know a bunch of PS3 fanatics that say that they want to stay up all night to play with their Wii. Then talk of how sex and gunplay is awesome. *sigh* |

Wii is a great name.
Because let's face it, if you think the name is funny, you're obviously retarded. Wii is much easier to say than Revolution, IMO. |

Posted by DarkSlaya Aye, Wii is fresh and a new name. As well as clever with Miis. Revolution sounds boring as well as so common and obvious. |

PS3 s the least original name ever because anybody can make a new version and the number it is to the original name.
Xbox 360 isn't that original because anybody can make a new version of something and add a number to the original title. Wii is original in almost every way. No doubt about it. |

At least they didn't make it cube-shaped and call it the "GameCube 2" |

Posted by The Red Snifit That's because SNE's PR group has one objective: to negate all the good that the Development team has achieved in making a system. |

They were right about one thing at least, about the name.
People have gotten used to it at this point. Now I think most people prefer Wii over revolution. Besides I don't see you people whining about your Nintendo Ultra, Dolphin or Nitro. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by Nyletak Nintendo has almost never done the same name twice in a row. With the exception of the gameboy series and the NES/SNES. However the SNES could be technically excused because the NES was the famcom in japan. ____________________  |

I honestly don't care anymore. It's been announced for so long now that I'm used to it. And, plus, if you think the name is funny and you have to resort to making sexual jokes about it, you're probably too immature to be a serious gamer. ____________________ |

I think that Wii is a pretty good name for their new system. I like how the i's mean something. ____________________ If you read this, then you must really be bored. |

It's a short, simple to spell, fast to write, and catchy name.. It's genius really.
Sure my initial response to it when I first heard about its name left me.. confused we'll say. But overall, once you get past that initial impression, you find that it's a great name. |
