Commander Obi-Wan Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Meh? It's just a name. Call it something else. I could care less, it'll just call it the Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~DarthGeek~ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I still love Nintendo even if it's called Wii. I'll still buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I'll still buy it, but I think this is just a rediculous move. I mean, I can't imagine actually saying "I'd like to purchase a Wii." Can you? Oh well, it will always be the revolution to me And it still will be ****awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallucination Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I googled it to see if it was true.... And it was. I'm still calling it the Revolution, no matter what they label it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Meh. I don't care. That's like hating KotOR III because they name it 'The Search for Revan'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 ^No, it's like hating KotOR 3 because they name it 'Wii'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I don't care what they call it. As long as it has decent graphics and games with good gameplay, I'll buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Chief Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Im gonna go play with my Wii now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 ^^^ Yeah, there were similar comments on the Nintendo Wii thread in the Swamp. I am tempted to regurgitate my Swamp comments here but for the sake of corniness I'll refrain. No doubt people will remember the name so Nintendo's got something going for it there. But honestly I didn't know until today that Revolution was a code name only, not the real name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaV™ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Well didn't they call the game cube the dolphin as it's code name? Oh well that's Nintendo for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 @LIAYD, Hold on! You want us to avoid nintendo bashing??? They're doing it to themselves!!! DEE DEE DEE!!! They've decided that being revolutionary isn't as awesome as being a bunch of nerdy hippies (not that I'm knocking nerdy hippies, nerds and hippies are awesome and even more so combined, but do you really want to share a couch with them for a sweaty Donkeykonga match???) Somebody's ben watching winnie-the-pooh and abusing anti-depressants:rofl: "Mommy, can I go over to Billy's house for a wee party?" "Those neighbor children are really becoming a bad influence!" Maybe this is just what the industry needs... The time: 2008 The location: E3 The participants: X360, PS3, and Wii The action: Sitting around a campfire, holding hands, singing kumbaya, and just getting all cuddly:) (note: this all could've been prevented if it hadn't been for freak delays of Gears of War and Metal Gear, but alas it was not to be:() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 *tries to say something new that wasn't already said in The Swamp thread*... Of course I'll be buying a REVOLUTION, the games will be great, the gameplay will rock, I'll have lots of fun and all... the problem is that the masses aren't gonna buy it simply cause of the sucky name. We all know how shallow and stupid people are and it's gonna take some big marketting bucks to try to get people to understand what the hell the name is all about. However it's a good thing Nintendo announced this name now, get the horrified reactions out of the way so we can get down to more important things once E3 finally rolls around.

REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I think this just may give me a reason to buy it actually.... You see, it gives me an excuse to break all the people who are going to be stuffing Wii players in lockers and beating them down in the streets:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaV™ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I doubt anyone would like to brag about playing with their Wii's...That didn't sound right did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Yeah, I can just see the crowd of dudes watching women walk out of best buy on launch day.... "Oh Snap Yo! Look at the Wii's on her! I wanna spank her with that remote!...it does come with the whip attachment, right?":naughty: Fairness and equality in sexual ridicule;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaV™ Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 VG comics had a nice spoof about the upcoming consoles. You guys should check it out, but anyway what exactly will be the pricing for this thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 ^^^^ no official announcements have been made just yet. last prediction i heard had it priced at about $250. again, though, i'd wait till E3 for Nintendo to give us some better scoop on the Wii/Revolution before i make price predictions.

90SK Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 That name blows. Like, seriously. That's probably one of the worst possible things they could rename it. Out of all the awkward names to replace "Revolution" with, they choose "we". Only worse, because they screwed the spelling. It's like they think less dignity sells more consoles. The only way this could possibly get any worse was if the Revolution ends up having a yellow color variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The worst part is that Nintendo is insisting people to pronounce it "We" instead of "Why". Wii, Nintendo, Wii? <_< >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
