Pre-Pre-E3 Wii thread

Yeah, I agree with you there, ¯\(º_o)/¯. ¯\(º_o)/¯ . LOL.

I easily see the appeal of such a silly name and I do think it's a genius move. Also when the 3-character names come around to symbolize the system, it'll be "WII" now as opposed to, I guess, "REV" or "RS" (Revolution System, name suggested before to match the portable counterpart).

Will it take some getting used to? Some, maybe even most, may "never" get used to it, and I'll argue that's part of the FUN factor.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I like how people who don't even video game are even talking about it. Whatever it is about "i" and "ii" it's working. A couple years down the road, awesome names of products will be "iii"...

Nintendo for the wiin.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They probably aren't going to do that. People like you and me will get all that taken care of. Nintendo wiinners.

As for their department, they probably DID get a three-year old to come up with it. Even a 2 year-old can bug their parents for a Wii, and this ain't no urination.

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

Yes, you can blame Nintendo. Horrible name or not is a consumer opinion. But the power of brand is everything.

Pub is pub is right though.



Video gaming is all about FUN. Nintendo has done this.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm not sure it's the official logo, but it's the one being talked about as you mentioned.

I was speaking idiomatically.
