And the new Nintendo is called... (not Revolution)

[marvelharvey]

Wii

YES, Wii

http://revolution.nintendo.com/

Also, according to Nintendo Japan, it is pronounced exactly the same as another word for urine... www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/index2.html (if you can't read the Japanese phonetics, it's 'weeeee', honest)

Way to go Nintendo, there's no way people will be making fun of that name

Surely you are taking the piss?

Very strange choice of name..

The Xbox and PS3 marketing teams must be pissing themselves.

Though Ninty have never cared about the UK market anyway.


Edited to add...

I've decided that actually I'm OK with it.

The titering (see what I did there) theough effective in the short term has already worn of. Also this snigger thing is quite british, and cilit bang is worth a laugh everytime.

I think the two 'i' s representing the controllers is pushing it a bit, but hey, that's marketing babble for you. So er.. yeah, Wii


I really hope Ninty can continue to push the envelope of innovative gameplay with the Wii, and leave MS and Sony to battle it out over graphical superiority of derivitive rubbish.

I'd have prefered the name "Revolution" but if they want to call it WII then that's fine as well. I hope it's still sheduled to be able to emulate NES/SNES/N64/GC games as I need to give Sadako a serious ass kicking in all versions of Mario Kart

The launch baseball game looks amazing.
