Where does the name Nintendo WII come from?

What do you think about Nintendo changing the name of the new system, revolution, to wii?

  • I like the name the way it was,revolution, but nintendo has to come out with another really odd name, wii, I thoguht the ds had a bad name... Just wait, people are going to start calling it "The Nintendo wee wee" soon. well, what do you think about this?

  • Answer:

    Even though i am not getting one, I liked Revolution better. Revolution sounds alot better than wii. It just does.

Are you sure that's not gonna be just the Japanese name? Cause that's not even a word or a abbreviation or anything.... cause remember the original Nintendo was called the Super Famicom in Japan.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Seriously, there's something wrong with their naming department. Yet, their reasons (on http://revolution.nintendo.com) are quite sound. Personally I think it'll take some getting used to, but we can't do anything about it, and the system is going to rock. So, Wii should be happy.

Nintendo Wii will have some good marketing strategies with an easy catchy name like that but Revolution did sound cooler.

i like it. for once, nintendo's thinking of a name that suits the world audience. not just america. no more confusion, translation, whatever. just wii. and besides, whats in a name, btw? xbox doesnt mean anything. its games arent even that nice to begin with, so why make fun of wii. no matter what people think about the name, people will still buy it coz its.. revolutionary. enough said. :)

I love the phisolophy behind the nomenclature. While it sounds strange, it is not any more silly than "Xbox 360" , when you think about it. Wii will get used to it, Wii will have fun, Wii will rule the world.

Not all that great I think. Instead, I urge everyone to call Wii the W2. It's true to what Nintendo wanted, and it sounds cooler than weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
