New name announced for Revolution - Nintendo Wii - New video trailer download
I actually got this report from my RSS feed from MSNBC, but I had to suss it all out at IGN. Looks like Nintendo have announed the new name for their next generation gaming console from the widely accepted codename “Revolution” to “Wii” … yes Wii as in “We”.
I personally think its crap, I’m sure the marketing and ad agency will come up with some cool concepts with the two “ii’s” where they look like people connected etc. Seriously though, “Wii”.. “Mum i’m busy playing with my “Wii”.. “Hey stavros, want to come over and play with my wii”? Imagine the parents at Christmas time, kids everywhere wanting a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. Worst name ever!
Anyways, I found this old trailer which has obvious hints towards the new name.
