I'll probably call it Wiivo by mistake a few times.

Wii........ it's interesting. I had no idea the name was being released today. Deffinetly not what i was excpecting. I read Megalith's journal and i saw his entry about this. I was thinking Wii was an acronym for Wide Internet Interactivity or something. When i read it was the new official name, i almost screamed. After i calmed down a bit i said it to myself a few times, and i'm already getting used to it.

The name doesn't matter though, it's all about the games.

for the record, i sorta liked Revolution better

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's most likley so the general public can get over the initial shock of such an off the wall name before Nintendo needs people to pay attention to them, for instance at an event like E3.

If you'll notice, many people aren't greatly happy with this name. It'll cool down in time, like the initial reaction the Wiimote. When it all cools down, Nintendo will hit us with the games at E3.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah i'm not sure what Nintendo was thinking when they said no one would mispronounce it. There are a few students from Germany in my school right now, and when they all repeated the name after me, they pronounced it Vee.

Most amazing jew boots

I don't know what the laws are regarding this sort of thing, but i think Nintendo would have to allow the use of their product's name in competitor's advertisments.

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