So now all you people can stop saying the name sucks.

[Apocalypse285]

Did you read those comments? It seems that this is bull####.

[Blaze Zero-Three]

But why was it called the Nintendo Wii in the first place? Hopefully they actually do get something better.

[Apocalypse285]

and your name is invisable!!1!@
Your sig is just lies. Quit spamming. I can't wait 'til you get banned.

But yeah, I was liking "Wii". The nice symbolism behind it, and it's just weird like Nintendo. It suits them.

[eatmorchikin6464]

Alat of people don't understand Wii though.

Look at the ones they say are possibilities. Those sound even worse. Nintendo GameZone? o.0

[snoman99991]

"I still think 'Wii' is an absurd, nu-ad age, feel good smarmy, pretentious name.

However, nothing less than a third atomic bomb will stop it from being used."

That was one of the comments on the page.....anyone see the Japan related humor there? That one cracked me up, even if sad in it's own sense.

[DarkReality]

I'd have thought GameZone was a protected name? o.O

I wouldn't be surprised if the name Wii was just a "hey talk about us!" stunt. Although by now I couldn't care less what it's called.

[The Brown Cow]

I've taken a liking to the name, so whatever.

One guy in the marketing department saying that the name is getting them made fun of is hardly evidence for a name switch.

[Karl]

Why does this matter? What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

...Unless that name happens to be "Wii" and it reminds you of urine.

[e p]

We have received over 200,000 e-mails with complaints about the Wii, and the console name has been commonly associated with urine.

People are so mature...

[denacioust]

I love the name Wii...this thing really can't be judged by its name though. And whoever sends e-mails complaining about the name because it sounds like pee is a downright loser.

[groog]

I actually was starting to like the name wii. It is short and sweet. The only problem is that it does sound like urine. I don't know why anyone would make jokes about wii, it really isn't funny. Who ever does really needs to get a life :?

[game-bot]

Wii FTW

**** GlobalBOX :p

They wanted a name that was easy to recognize and had no abriviations(sp?).
They also wanted something that would embrace non-gamers and casualy gamers, make 'em feel like they could play it.

After all of that, there really arent many options.
I think Wii was a good choice.
I already began to like it.

[The Brown Cow]

The joke only works in English-speaking countries anyway. That's a huge audience, but still not everyone.

I don't mind the name at all. Hey, Winnie the Pooh's name sounds like poo - I laughed... when I was six.

[Impulse]

I don't care what its name becomes. Its name will not change the quality of its games.

[denacioust]

It COULD...just not directly. As in if people were REALLY off put by the name then they wont buy the console and therefore less developers will make games for the console as they'll be wasting their money...therefore indirectly affecting the game-quality.

[skater12124]

and your name is invisable!!1!@

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/Dichromate/Spam--Alert.gif you are a n00b. Stop spamming ok. A couple of other people have invisable names too. WHO CARES. Loom you're alrweady breaking the rules since you have -Xcash. Ohhhh...i can't wait till you get banned which wont be long.*on topic* I did like Wii though. THat was a nice name.

[Honeycomb]

Good riddance to that crappy name.

They should keep is as the Nintendo Revolution.

[Eon26]

I think that nintendo should have stuck with "Revolution" It sounds so much cooler than all the other ones.

[denacioust]

But calling it the revolution is a little arrogant...regardless how true it is. Wii is a cool name and is revolutionary in its own way...as in it strays away from the boring simple names we've been hearing so far...Playstation, Xbox, Gamecube...

[Popolop]

I'm starting to like the the name Wii...

[Eon26]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
thats what the Wii sounds like..
w8...
I like it :D

No really, it really depends from here on. Ill stick to Wii if they even attempt to make it worse than it already is.

[denacioust]

I'm gonna keep calling it the Wii now I dont care...Ive got over that little smirk I had when I first heard the name.

[skater12124]

At first I didnt even know it was called Wii, I thought it was always the rev. I just found out like 3 weeks ago.

[eatmorchikin6464]

Yes, but please remember, I was the first to do it.

At least Nintendo finally figured out how bad the name was.

[eatmorchikin6464]

That's a funny comic.

*waits for DarkZoma to come by and claim the PS3 is superior*

[caniverous toilet]

I though they should have called it The Nintendo Evolution

Evolution, becuase from the 64 to The Wii, it's gone a long way. *Burts out laughing*

<3 Ctrl+Alt+Del Comics

>_>

Yeah. That's all I have to add. Wii Pii, GameZone, who cares. As long as it's worth my time.

[...imacow...]

But why was it called the Nintendo Wii in the first place? Hopefully they actually do get something better.

it's called the wii because the word "we" is comman in every languedge, would you like to buy a system called the shoing kong dodo?, they made it wii so that every1 could understand it

[denacioust]

Or more so that everyone WOULDNT understand it and get people talking about it...

[skater12124]

They called it the "Revolution" Because the future of gaming was going to be changed forever. THen they changed it to a name that sucks.

[StickAvalancheman]

I thought everyone got over the whole "Wii" thing after hearing the PS3's price. The system could now be called "I love to play with balls!", and I really wouldn't really care as long as it's cheap.
