nintendo have officialy announced the new name for its new console, which is now the Nintendo Wii (pronounced 'we')

people seem to be going totaly nuts over the name change and think its heavily retarded. I dont mind the name change that much (bit strange since we are used to revolution and such)

i mean its a console with a wavy remote control for playing with, a crazy mildly retarded name seems to be the best way to go

I wouldn't. I won't buy it, anyways. Cheap piece o' shit that it is.

Console gaming killed arcades and has reduced PC gamers to a shivering, naked cabal of deviants who ritually burn money in sacrifice for their dark gods. It's a larger industry than music and is threatening to topple theatre.

All I'm saying is that maybe you're a bit uninformed.

If there was a console like that I would buy for the sole purpose of owning something called the Bombastic Shit Machine.


Also I would like some proof of said name change in the form of a news article or something, because this seems exactly like what happened a little while back where everyone was saying that the rev's new name was the Nintendo Go or something like that.

Regardless of name I'd still buy it. So much for saying "Viva la revolution" Even though it was annoying.

Regardless of the name, I'll definitely be purchasing it. That being said, I do like the "Revolution" name better than "Wii", but whatever.

It will be sort of weird saying "let's go play 'we'".
If you would ever say that.

I hope this is a joke. Unlike the "dolphin", this namechange is unjustified.

Maybe they'll do something big at E3 to make more people like it.

now its going to be "Wii will rock you", which might be quite apt when it comes out (hopefully)

Originally I was going to say "if they called it the Bombastic Fuck Machine" but I changed it cuz I figured even more people would wanna say what GW said.

At least "Nintendo Go" would make sense... isn't 'go' Japanese for '5'? And ths is the 5th Nintendo console, right? "Wii" is just so damn bizarre. It's like their marketing department spent the whole night chugging cough syrup to come up with that.

Talking about it with friends is going to be weird though, like "Didja get the new game for the WEE?" You can't even abbreviate it like with the others, really.

GameFAQs is pissing their pants about this. Maybe this is a good thing.

Also I can't wait to see what James has to say about it.

I think gamers are either a) going to call it the new nintendo or b) call it wee and giggle like teenaged girls as it was the greatest joke since AYB.
