I like the new name, but it's going to take some getting used to. This is the most unconventional console since Phantom.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Clever one, Nintendo." Nintendo has to explain it to us, and they should never really have to.

Ah, but that's the beauty of it, Nintendo makes us get up off of our lazy asses to find out what it means. It piques our curiosity and forces us to pay attention lest we go mad from thinking about it! I was utterly confused until I found out how to pronounce it, then I immediately got what Nintendo was trying to do. Even if you hate the new name, talking about it creates hype and publicity for Nintendo, thus giving them an edge over competition. Even if most people hate the new name, which I don't think is the case (it seems to be half and half at the moment), it's a smart move by Nintendo. I think most people will get used to it, the only ones that don't will be the Nintendo haters which Nintendo can't really sway anyway, so no big loss.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

God damn it, I just realized that I'll never be able to say "wheeee!" again without people thinking I'm making fun of Nintendo/referencing the Wii. I say that all the time too! I think Nintendo is tapping my phone or something. Damn Nintendo for ruining my 10th most uttered phrase ever, and for getting free advertising if I do say it! Nintendo has forever changed the world this day, it's a true Revolution...of wordage.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The lighting on that character is good, but god damn that background is shitty. Looks like Dreamcast.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
