Have Nintendo lost all their brain cells? This is simply open to endless toilet jokes. It's stupid, and now anyone who recognises the Revolution name, is lost as a potential consumer, all that hype and publicity wasted.
This is NOT like calling your new product "Google" or "iPod". Its like calling your new product "Urine" or "Dingleberry". Just give me a name I won't HATE. Why pick a new that will be the butt of playground jokes for the next 5 years?
The name Revolution is amazing, why would you go and change it to something so horrible... Saying the Word "Wii' outloud is an embarrasment! and it will be called the Revolution by the few who buy this system as of now...
I've been a Nintendo fan for over 20 years, and I agree that this name is awful. Absolutely awful. What was wrong with "Revolution"? Please change it to something else. Anything but "Wii".
Nintendo Big wigs. You NEED to change the name. just listen to the people on the forums, these are you're people! Do not dick them over. The Sony fanboys will never shut up. Check out www.RPG-TV.com a gaming webcomic!
I would be ASHAMED to walk into a store ask for "WEEEE"!
My god, it sounds like s system made for infant children.
You just crapped your "mature" audiance away.
Jesus.
C'mon Nintendo.. are you fuckin' crazy!!! Wath a hell name is this?!?! I loved all your ideas until now... This one is completely HORRIBLE, RIDICULOUS!!! To the hell with Wii...
"Finally", I thought" "Finally Nintendo have got it right. A games console that will not only have good games but also have a totally cool image instead of the usual kiddy one, be cheap compared to the XB360 and PS3, and, most importantly, will REVOLUTIONise video gaming."
Then they go and name it after freakin' p!$$, Thanx a freakin' bunch Nintendo, now I've got to either buy a PS3 or XB360, sit this generation out or buy this and have the wii taken out of me!!!!!
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!
I support this petition. When Nintendo asked if they should change the name of the Revolution, we thought you had some better names up your sleeves. If "Wii" is the best you can come up with, please Please PLEASE stick with "Revolution".
I'm beginning to wonder if Nintendo just wants to fail? Maybe they're bored with being successful and want to go the route of Sega, bastardizing their games by releasing crap like Shadow the Hedgehog.
