    Nintendo Revolution now has a new name...

    It looks like Nintendo wants people to start seeing the Revolution in a different light by giving it a brand-new name a week before E3. The Revolution's new name: Wii.

    I can see a parent going into a store then asking: "I'd like a Wii please." That just sounds a tad wrong.

    Mild update, it's been reported Nintendo have not trademarked the name Wii and out of sheer common sense it's highly unlikely they would call it that in english speaking countries - look forward to the more adult Nintendo urine instead.

    sorry folks, but it's true.


    IGN Wii: We're now called IGN Wii. How could you do this to us?

    Perrin Kaplan(noa rep): Say that again.

    IGN Wii: It is pronounced like "we," right?

    Perrin Kaplan: Yes, as in inclusive, you and me. So how could I do it to you?

    IGN Wii: Yes. Don't you guys think about us when you do these things?

    Perrin Kaplan: I think about you pretty much 24/7.

    IGN: Well, of course you do.

    And here's another article on it.

    Revolution renamed Wii

    And if you search Google News with the search topic Wii, you shall get a bevy of news articles on the subject.

    Maybe they think their console sucks, so they're giving it a name which sounds like urine, lol. Revolution was a much better name ... these console guys are complete weirdos.

    Everytime Miyamoto's been asked what game he is playing and he'll comment on how good one looked. Guess he has other hobbies.
