Re: Revolution news!

Then again I think the Nintendo Dolpin is better name then the N64.

In case there is any confusion, Dolphin was the code name for the GameCube.


For hydrobond: ii means "good" in Japanese.

Ooops. Thats my bad.
I said dolphin and N64 in my post.

I like the Nintendo Ultra 64 better than the N64 anyways
I want to get ahold of an Ultra 64 some day...
(I saw one on ebay from Canada. It was japanese.)

I know you were not saying I was crying I was just explaining my point of view. Hell I hope the system does great because I don't know how many more N64 and GameCube disasters Nintendo can handle.

Given that their handheld operation prints money, I'd say quite a few.

Yup, it's been announced by Nintendo that the name of the Revolution will be Wii, pronounced "We." I don't like the news, personally. "Hey mommy, Timmy is gonna bring his Wii and we're gonna connect our Wii's together and play all night long!" Doesn't have a good ring to it. Revolution would've been much better.

You stole my weekly poll for next week.

Some gamers (myself included) don't like the direction the gaming industry is going, so this is what I got out of yap's point.

The codename "Revolution" was a way of associating the system with a radical change in the gaming formula, and now that they've got that driven into our heads, they're following through with that notion.  I don't see how Nintendo could have come up with a more unusual (and just plain weird) name for their new system, but that's what being revolutionary is all about.  You've gotta take some risks and throw out some "what the hell!?" ideas to turn heads.

Although it's not phonetically pleasing at the moment, I'm sure I'll grow to like "Wii" in time.

I guess I should take the fall for stealing your poll for next week, I spiced most of these responses into this thread so that I could create a poll.

Oops my bad. But I still do like Dolphin better then N64. But I like GamCube better then Dolphin. ANd Ultra 64 is also better then N64.

[shaggy]

Revolution = Cool, something I'd want on my shelve

Wii = Completely retarded, something I'll own, but it won't be displayed prominently

Totally agreed.  Wii is a stupid name.  They could have come up with something better than that and yes I think it will have an affect on the system sales to those people who don't keep track of video games.

Ahahahahaha

That's why it won't work, think of all the sniggers when people start talking about their Wii's

I have never looked at the site but the comics people post from them are usually really lame. So I would say I dont like them.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Same here.

It's a great name. It fits the system's purpose and style like a glove. What's best about it is just how pissed off the gaming populous has been over it. It amazes me how shallow the world of gamers has become over this. It's a name, and that's all it is.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I'm sorry, it's just that I already have a Wii to play with.

If you don't think a name means anything to its sales, take a marketing class.
