I support this petition because Come on nintendo you let us down again. The name Revolution was badass. Think about it, what do you think people will think when I tell them i have a wii and I like to play wit it.
I think that you, Nintendo are truly going to go the way of Sega and end up as a software vendor for your rivals. Your business choices truly are going to backfire on you. No HD on the Revo...sorry, "Wii", the absloutely STUPID name...way to go once again. Having been a Nintendo fan since the arcades, you'd think that you would have gotten smarter over the years. Guess not.
You see, N64 and GBA were pretty slick names. Not too boastful but futuristic.
Nintendo never took the bait to put a real ballsy name like "Ultra Destroyer 4000." SO FEW influential people would make puns of that.
How about a name like Nintendo Absolution. abs
Iwata and Miyamoto are blind or on crack or VERY eccentric and that's bad.
Who cares how long you spent on that Wii 3D animation. It all amounts to "suckage"
becaus what a crummy Name like Wii going to attract people? I will "wii" on my little brother so hard, It'll kill him, THAT DOsn't frekin' work! All Hail THe REVOLUTION! not a puddle o' wii
The "Wii" name makes me far less interested and may keep me away. Tell me this is a late April Fool's joke! You're just giving competitors fodder for anti-Nintendo ads that will make you untouchable by the American audience.
I really liked the codename "Revolution", Nintendo. The "Wii" name seems a little... short? and isn't quite suitable for the design and functions of the console. Please Reconsider, Nintendo. =P
PD: It could've even been "The Dolphin", for crying out loud! lol
This is the most stupid name for a console i have ever heard. I am extremely dissapointed and if nintendo keeps this they will suffer greatly. bring back the revolution
this is a horrible name, I have been defending the big N since that dang controller came out. now this? at least the name revolution was kinda cool. how can i ask my freinds to join me in a game with my wii with a straight face. whoever thought of this ought to be fired. and if it really was a group effort they all need to be fired.
Please do NOT call it the Wii. The fact you have a website trying to convince the public about the concept behind the name is proof of what a bad name it is in the first place.
