Good job. Nintendo "We" sounds like a douche for the female game players. "Now there's a controler just for her" and it's shaped like a damn tampon. And let's misspell it like a pea-brained mother naming a child: "here's Gennypher, Madycyn, and Wii"! Retarded. What was so wrong with Revolution? This is nothing like "iPod" or "Google". It's just plain dummy-dumb.

Or, better yet, a revolutionary (sorry) Wii dildo remote controller.

Yes, it's a shitty name. Now even the kiddie demographic they have relied on for years will be shying away.

They are? Not worldwide... and in the portable market... aren't they number one?

Plus 360 sucks... it's disapointing really. I see Nintendo trying not to compete with Sony's awesome technology abilities, and is focusing on CHANGING gaming. Not Halo with (A- World War II Graphics? B- Super Hot Female? C- US Spy soldiers? D- ...more aliens?) or Rap Game ### starring superstar of the moment ______.

The name is weird, yes... but then Dreamcast was a cool name that was basically a Playstation with an upsidedown controller.

Post by: spooie on May 05, 2006, 06:45:34 PM: Since Nintendo announced the name "Wii"... I've noticed that the only thing people are talking about, is Nintendo's console name... and NOTHING about the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Stupid name? How about good marketing.

:P

Now... I just need to get my hands on some Monkey Balls, so I can play with my Wii.

Post by: spooie on May 05, 2006, 06:55:22 PM: Which part... the name Wii and it's effect on consumers, or wanting to get my hands on monkey balls?

Regardless... all this stuff about the name "Wii"... I mean, it's everywhere. Everyone is going nuts about the name. And I can't help but laugh about it, knowing that by the time the system is released, everyone will be so used to it, no one will care.

How often to people complain about the name "Joy Stick" or "Roller Balls" or "Rumble Pack" or "Mouse Pads" or the Xbox DUKE controller?

I mean... it's a fucking Joy Stick. A name that originated as slang for jerking off one's dick... and everyone's making a fuss over "Wii" ???

I just don't get it. I really don't. :P

The sad thing is, I expect gamers to make jokes about it... but then you get idiots at IGN or Game Informer, who are supposed to be, believe it or not, "Journalists", making cracks about it. How Sad.

Post by: Extra Zero on May 06, 2006, 12:58:45 AM: Yeah! Cause just like the Gamecube and the N64 before it, Nintendo will deliver upon all of their big promises!
