Revolution gets a new name....

[CHiLL]

There was one person on the TFW boards that said "Wii are not amused"
I thought that was pretty funny and clever :laugh:

O Wii-ly?:redface2:

 

[UltraMatt]

I've suddenly lost all respect I had for Nintendo right now...

REVOLUTION IS AN AWESOME NAME!

I'm looking forward to the "Where's your God now???" photoshops that'll come as a result of this name.

Wow... I think I've lost what little interest I've had in buying a new Nintendo console. I mean, not that a name should really mean that much, but... Wii? :laugh: I'd feel silly buying one.

It's not a bad name... but it's not a good name either.

Maybe it'll catch on, like PlayStation and XBox did. Who knows?

I am both unexcited and impassionate.

One guy said this...

Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter was more mixed in his assessment. "My initial reaction, of course, is that the name is dumb," he bluntly stated. "However, upon reflection, I thought that the name Game Boy was dumb, REALLY thought that the name Xbox was dumb, and can't even recall my reaction to PlayStation. Let's face it, devices with cool names like Dreamcast and Gizmondo fail, and the lame names seem to do well."

Soooo...

It's a really bad name, and a lot of players who were on the fence because of good news like Red Steel and Madden are going to take this and go "no fucking way." I hope Nintendo knows what they're doing.

I honestly don't give a **** for the name of the console. It's what the console can do for me as a Game System that I'm looking foreward to. It could of been named "With my tiny little Cock" and I would have no problem yelling out " Ima go play With my Tiny Little Cock now okay?"
As long as it has the games that I know and love. Especially since it is supposed to be the ultimate Reverse compatible system, I will enjoy playing the Wii while kicking ass in Chrono Trigger, or taking down Bowser old school.

What makes a name isn't the name istself, It's the product.

 

[VengeanceGOD]

I agree. But Nintendo needs to win this generation, and the PS fanboys are gonna have a field day with this one.

 

[Keith Justice]

Also agreed.... of the systems, this is the one that I'm most likely to get sometime down the road.

It's just Nintendo was on such a winning streak, it's a shame to see them wii-mp out like this.
