[ QUOTE ] you have to give them credit, everyone and their mom is talking about nintendo today, reguardless if you like the name or not. its way more publicity than if they just kept the name same. i havent heard so much talk about a topic at work ever, everyone has said something, even the korean kids who never talk to…
Yah, that's completely bonkers! I was really liking the name "Revolution". Nintendo Wii rolls off the tongue in an odd way. I like their description of the meaning behind Wii, though.
[ QUOTE ] That said, Nintendo is also the company that managed "Donky Kong" when actually intending "Monkey kong". [/ QUOTE ] oi sandbag, we cleared this up earlier http://www.snopes.com/business/misxlate/donkeykong.asp
I don't think this console was designed with the hardcore gamer in mind anyway. If the name insults their delicate sensibilities then so be it. I'm glad Nintendo is trying to do something different even if doesn't work out.

WTF Nintendo! WHHHYYYYY!!!! "Dreamcast" was slightly more stupid, and you see where that got SEGA. Great. This is just great [edit] It instantly reminds me of WWII, you know, the war the Japanese lost? WTF!!!!!!!!!
That is gay. Really gay. Nintendo may be Japs but fuck me, get a name that works with the majority of the english population. It really does remind me of world war 2. If its pronunced "we" why not just spell it that way?
