im going to sound like a moron when i go into ebgames and asking to preorder a nintendo Wii "Wii"
Confirm was the wrong word to use, more like a better possibility.Well, if the name is suppose to convey the idea of "w-e" with the two i's representing people playing with the revmote, then that pretty much confirms the idea that the Rev . . . Wii will ship with two sets of controllers.
Weeeeeeeeee!
Ummm.... bad logic. Don't count on it. In no way does the name confirm shipment with two controllers.
But yeah. The name isn't all bad... I've coped.
I don't know. I'm starting to warm up to the name. Plus it makes a fun sig.............. you have got to be kidding me. at first i thought you guys were joking........ wow........ this is whack. im all for nintendo but this is just crap.
i can just imagine telling my firends. "yo guys i gotta wii" and they will be like "dude just use the freakin bathroom" j/k lol wierd name. i doubt it will stay but who knows
those childish jokes aren't getting any funnier...i can just imagine telling my firends. "yo guys i gotta wii" and they will be like "dude just use the freakin bathroom" j/k lol wierd name. i doubt it will stay but who knows
I think you just made my eveningI don't know. I'm starting to warm up to the name. Plus it makes a fun sig.Â
you know i think that name is pretty pathetic. it sounds like it is either made for french people, homosexuals, asian people, or children.
you know i think that name is pretty pathetic. it sounds like it is either made for french people, homosexuals, asian people, or children. nintendo has stated they want to change there image, but people won't take them literally. be honest is a regular person going to buy a sony console if it wasn't a playstation, or buy a microsoft system not called the xbox? maybe put both companies did research and found that they do better if they keep there name, what's with nintendo and changing the name everytime? they get no benefits from the regular joe that knew what an nes, or snes was, but whats a wii. they should go with something like a previous poster stated and call it the nes5. i'm sorry, but i think word of mouth is going to die, because no one is going to brag to friends or buddies that they got a wii. and i feel sorry for the little video game nerds when it comes out, the kids in grade school, because they are going to get beat up so many times when they ask other kids if they want to play there wii. schools will ban the word being said for the sake of getting sued buy parents that think they kids at there local gradeschool are a bunch of perverts. yeah this is going to work real well, i wonder if nintendo will get sued, like mcdonalds did for supposedly making people fat. they are going to have alot of angry parents. there went all of the previous gamers for nintendo. i really wanted to support nintendo after non supporting them since snes, but if they are going to give names like this they are going to be the next sega anyway.
While you make a valid point, you forgot something.Heh, Hitto. I haven't ignored your statements, infact I always enjoy our debates.ÂÂ I agree that getting people talking about ones product is the best kind of publicity. But the thing is, if non-fans don't like what they hear, then what's the point? So, I tested the theory. I took your thoughts, and my thoughts, and I took a real life poll of sorts. It wasn't much of a poll, but it was one none the less. I asked 5 different people I know (a couple were very casual gamers, and a few weren't gamers at all)... I asked them what they thought of the Nintendo Wii. I even explained it was spelled with two Is, and I vaguely explained the headen meaning behind the name (which is all they'd get in the first place). Every single one of their reactions was along the lines of: "Wtf, the Nintendo wee!? What kind of a crappy name is that? I was considering buying one, but now I don't think I will". Every. Single. One.
That's the face of the general consumer. That's average non-gamer Joe with little-to-no interest in games, and an extremely superficial way of looking at things. And that's who Nintendo alienated by picking such an "out there" title for their new console. They spoke of reaching a whole new area of the general consumer market, but in my eyes they just did the opposite. So yeah, I don't exactly see what you're arguing. I have no problem with the name myself (it grew on me), I'm merely saying not everyone is as open-minded about Nintendo's unique way of thinking... as the diehard Nintendo fans. The fans who would buy the system regardless. You seem to be stuck in this narrow "Nintendo will win them over eventually!" way of thinking. Whereas people who buy only Sony (etc) systems, or no systems at all, tend to stick with that route.
