Nintendo Wii

[Anton Djamoos]

Not the Revolution anymore. Pronounced "we."

http://revolution.nintendo.com

Ummm...thoughts on name?

"I'm gonna go play my PS3, go have fun playing with your Wii wii."

I'm going to inevitably be called a wiiner from now on.

[fedhed7]

Goddamn you Anton, I was in the process of making a thread for this.


I don't know if I like it or not.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Hahaha...

The only thing I can think of is...why...?

[fedhed7]

Introducing... Wii.
As in "we".
While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everyone else.
Wii will put more people in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like "we", which emphasizes this console is for everyone.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.
And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.
Because, it's not really about you or me.
It's about Wii.
And together, Wii will change everything.

Look at the bottom of the page. Very cool trailer.

[Anton Djamoos]

This is terrible. Absolutely terrible. I really don't like it. I mean, yeah I think there's a chance that it'll grow on me and I'll love it but first impression is WiiTF???

[Mitch]

I'm not sure I like the way "Wii" sounds, but it does look sort of cool.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Yeah, I missed the text part because of the trailer.

I think they would have been better off just calling it "We".

[Anton Djamoos]

Or "Revolution."

[fedhed7]

This is terrible. Absolutely terrible. I really don't like it. I mean, yeah I think there's a chance that it'll grow on me and I'll love it but first impression is WiiTF???
Haha.

Wiik.

[Anton Djamoos]

What is the marketing going to be?

"When you play the Wii, you will inevitably be like, 'Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!'"

[Anton Djamoos]

I mean, yeah, the iPod was like "um what is this" but this is just ridiculous. It can catch on but there's going to be such harassment from non-Nintendo fans.

[Scott Weber]

the hell? is this for real?

[fedhed7]

I mean, yeah, the iPod was like "um what is this" but this is just ridiculous. It can catch on but there's going to be such harassment from non-Nintendo fans.I was already surfing some gaming forums, and the flamings have begun.

[Anton Djamoos]

When you're a kid and you wanna go wii, but you ain't got drugs yet. (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/weeee.php)

[fedhed7]

Gonads and Strife....

[DroppedUrPocket]

Gonads in the lightning! IN THE LIGHTNING! IN THE RAIN! (WIIIIIIII!!!)

[boldt_action]

wow, i just found out.

The name could grow on me.

[MLLMillenium]

:leapfrog:Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!

I came back to say this...

Wii will change games as you know it. Wii will have some of the coolest and most innovative games to date. Wii will overcome. Wii will rock you. Wii didn't start the fire. Wii are the champions. Wii will march to the beat of a different drum. and of course..

If Wii go down Wii go down together.

I would add more, but I have to go take a Wii Wii on PS3.

P.S I never thought Wii would hear a worse name than Gamecube. I guess Wii were wrong. :shrugs:

:swing:Wii! I'm swinging.

[hobbes2809]

joke, right?

[Anton Djamoos]

joke, right?
Nope.

[Anton Djamoos]

[Boring Pop Song]

i like it

[Anton Djamoos]

Along with the new name, the controller has been redesigned to fit it more appropriately...

[DroppedUrPocket]

lol nice to see the mesage boards around the interwebs are on the ball.

[hobbes2809]

Nope.

I hate it.

[Stereo Therapy]

wow. i think nintendo wants to embarrass their fans.

Don't know if it's real or not but if it is...wow!

[DroppedUrPocket]

Definitely an improvement on what that flash video shows.

btw, I read about Madden Wii (lolz) and it got me excited. Multiplayer with Madden Wii (lolz) is gonna be sweet.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Might be fake because I don't think ESPN and EA have an agreement. I may be wrong, though.

[Anton Djamoos]

Might be fake because I don't think ESPN and EA have an agreement. I may be wrong, though.
They do.

[DroppedUrPocket]

They do.
Yeah, I checked it out right after I said that.

[MLLMillenium]

Don't call it Nintedno Wii. Just call it Wii. If you do that it works much better. Plus the shock value is their. Just think about it though, the design of the name, the i's the system design. If you just say Wii, it can work.

Nintendo’s Perrin Kaplan speaks on Nintendo Wii name (http://www.codenamerevolution.com/?p=313#respond)
“I think people have to look back and let it settle in. I’m sure people felt the same way when Google was named – or the iPod. Napster. Yahoo. There’s a whole host of unusual names that have become a part of everyday conversation and I think they’re viewed now as unique. We want people to understand our approach before we get to E3. [Also], it’s really noisy at E3 and I don’t think we would have had the chance to explain how we came to the name.”

I agree with this.

[Anton Djamoos]

Don't call it Nintedno Wii. Just call it Wii. If you do that it works much better. Plus the shock value is their. Just think about it though, the design of the name, the i's the system design. If you just say Wii, it can work.



I agree with this.
Yeah I do too. The slogan is making me turn toward liking it if it's real.

"Wii will change everything."

How prophetic. That's what Nintendo needs.

[reductiondesign]

That logo is AWESOME.

[MLLMillenium]

Phases before death.. yeah sociology!
"Denial and isolation: "This is not happening to me."

• Anger: "How dare God do this to me."(I'm right about here now)

• Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my son graduate."

• Depression: "I can't bear to face going through this, putting my family through this."

• Acceptance: "I'm ready, I don't want to struggle anymore."
In better context.

Denial and isolation: "This is not happening to me, I'll have to play wii by myself!"

• Anger: "How dare Iwata do this to me!"

• Bargaining: "Just let me live to see Nintendo take out sony."

• Depression: "I can't bear to face the Wii jokes anymore, putting my man hood at risk."

• Acceptance: "I'm ready here is the money, give me my Wii."

[Andy]

god this is stupid

[FstFtsVsFences]

That logo is effing sweet. I can't wait for this console.

[burnout86]

yeah the madden advertisement is fake.

ive been a huuuuge nintendo fanboy for years, and have been following the rev closely for so long now.

wow. i really hope this name grows on me.

regardless, E3 will be amazing.

[hobbes2809]

I refuse to call this the Wii, im just going to call this by what it only deserves to be called

"Nintendo"

"want to play some Wii?"
"fuck no, I want to play some motherfucking Nintendo"

[DaveFeelsRight]

Wii Wii Pee Pee.

[Darren McLeod]

man, i go to work today and come home to find out the REVOLUTION is now Wii?

Wiird.

[fedhed7]

Wow, now I really think the name change was a good idea. Read this interview, and you'll understand.

Yeah he explained things well, but it still doesn't detract that it's a terrible name.

What I hope happens is that people embrace its suckiness the way Snakes on a Plane has been embraced. Think of all the fun we can have. I'm all for Wii jokes.

[fluke182]

For the last few hours I kept thinking that someone just misspelled Wifi...turns out, this is the name of the Revolution. Wtf. That is a weak name. No less, still excited, but Revolution was a great name.

[Darren McLeod]

anton, now i'm messaging you, and you're nowhere to be found. gah.

also, that PR guy from nintendo wins my heart and approval for 3 reasons:
1) He mentioned Brain Age
2) He mentioned Trauma Center.
3) He's a PR guy from Nintendo.

Did you see my thread yesterday?

I need your opinion.

[Darren McLeod]

i am severing all ties with anton. here's why:

[hobbes2809]

im still excited for the system, but this name has got to go... its terrible!

just pretend the name doesnt exist, still going to be the same system, same games, same new badass controller

just call it Revolution still, or the Nintendo SuperNewFunAwesome System

whatever floats your boat

[Saves The Night]

im still excited for the system, but this name has got to go... its terrible!i think its fine...your not going to not buy a system just because of its name

[Ryan Imhof]

Nintendo in my opinion is looked upon as little kidish.. stuff. The "revolution" name would of been good for marketing.. as it dosent sound as cheesy as "gamecube". But.. really whatever this guy was on when he thought of this.. hook me up. This system could be the best thing ever created but it's not going to sell.

yes, nintendo is looked on as kiddish in north america, probably because douchebags think every game has to be racing and/or shooting.

it will sell just fine no matter the name because its going to kick ass. end of story.

This controller will make for the most mature games on any system.

I can see it now, alongside your Bob Ross Painting game and your Zelda Wiind Waker, you'll have The Jenna Jameson Experience. Gives new meaning to the phrase, "I'm going home to play with my Wii."

But another question comes to mind, could the name have been influenced originally by Intel’s Viiv name which is a technology for a new brand of Media Center PC’s? Viiv combines many technologies into one instead of a simple chipset. Nintendo has stated in the past that “our advances in our technology will have no bearing on gameplay” for Revolution, now named Wii.

OmGz!!M

[Darren McLeod]

the theories that nintendo fans come up with are some of the most cracked out I've ever seen. I'll make up one right now...

Wii looks kinda like wwii without the first w. wwii is, of course, world war two. so, logically, nintendo is full of nazis who are planning genocide against another race. probably us!

you see, the new controller has sensors in it...BRAIN sensors. and they will brainwash us into killing non-Nintendo fans! 100% of the market for nintendo!

I can't believe we didn't see this coming beforehand. The hints were there the whole time! Get it??? A REVOLUTION!!!

[xearlynovemberx]

after telling my friend about how madden would work:

SiLeNtxTrAgEdYy: More interesting, though, is that Schappert also illustrated some of the game mechanics that will separate Madden for Nintendo's new console. To hike a ball in the version, gamers will simply pull up the controller. To throw a ball, they will gesture with a throwing motion. Hard, fast gestures may result in bullet passes while more relaxed gestures could effect lob passes, he said. Meanwhile, to kick, players would "... take the controller as if it were your foot and swing up on it." Apparently, the straighter the motion, the more likely that the ball will fly true.

HAHAHA el oh el: i play video games to entertain myself not excersize

[xearlynovemberx]

btw i willl be buying this first day

[ActorInThisPlay]

wow what a horrible name...revolution was much better.

[apex]

How prophetic. That's what Nintendo needs.

It's a company talking about it's future product.

It's not so much prophetic as it is advertising.

what a stupid ass name for a console

I think it's a name that non-gamers will be able to remeber, so when they come into Game and EB they won't say "Can you point me in the direction of the Playstation 360's?" and I feel that is what they are trying to achieve with this.

Oh and for the record I'm not a 'tendo fanboy I'm mostly into the Xbox (Halo, R63, KotOR, Splinter Cell) but I think I will be getting one of these when they come out. I'd love to play Splinter Cell with the Revs controller.

No offence but that is the dumbest thing I've heard all day. Nintendo wouldn't name their next major product for the sole reason of mothers who can't remember the names of consoles, in hope that Wii might stick. It's just mainly for Japanese appeal if you ask me. Nintendo's market is much bigger over there than on Western side.

X-box. Playstation. Gameboy. The first time a mother hears this, they automatically think "Oh. It's a game system. They're all the same." But "Wii" is the last thing someone would expect to be a game system.

The controller and the name of the system go hand in hand. They're both un-heard of in the gaming industry, and it will attract people who might be unfamiliar with the other systems. Wii is something everyone understands.

[Brownpants06]

Remember when I said I hope they change the name rev to somthing gay? Who has that come back to haunt? Horsemen of the Wii.

HAahahahaha.


Sorry.

[sweethypocrisy]

Worst. Name. Ever. i dont give two shits about the meaning behind it, thats just the stupidest shit ive ever heard. i... cant even fathom yelling across the hall to my friends "hey, are you gonna be playing wii tonight!?" fuck that. terrible name.

A new rumour is spreading around that although Nintendo will not have HD, games will graphically look on par with Xbox 360. According to the report below, the IGN specs were not from final development kits (Reggie Fils-Aime did state that the final kits were being sent in June) and that the real final dev kits were originally given to closer third-party developers such as Square-Enix for their upcoming Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Online sequel.
We may also recall that EA Canada yesterday claimed in an IGN interview that the graphics were not a “Gamecube 1.5″ and that they were stunning. At the same time games will run in 480p, Progressive Scan 16×9 widescreen for Enhanced Definition quality.
Also according to the report, Nintendo purposely sent out “modified-Gamecube” kits to get third-party developers to shift their focus on the controller instead of the graphical capabilities which would make sense in many ways such as forcing developers to create more exclusive games in the beginning instead of the usual multi-platform ports which was done in the Gamecube era.
Does it seem possible that the “megaton” is really the graphical capabilities? Iwata at E3-2005 suggested that “when you turn on Revolution (now Wii) and see the graphics, you will saw WOW.” Regardless if it is or not, the hype for E3 just gets better every day.

I hope this is true.
