Uh, yeah.

Sorry, but I'm having a hard time taking this seriously. I mean, it's pronounced like "wee". What's next, "WE ARE THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY "Wii"!" or something?

I officially want to know what the people at Nintendo are smoking, and if any will be included with the console so anything about it will make sense. This is just ridiculous.

Why did they choose Wii? I'd rather have a Revolution...

Clearly, this means that Sega is planning to re-enter the console market.

You have got to be s**tting me...

I guarantee that there are already 100 jokes about this on the internet and that the number will have escalated above 1k before the morrow.

Yadda yadda, anything else I could say would be parroting both past and future...but I truly have difficulty believing that they went with this over something else or maybe even sitcking with the codename.

Shadow Hog, someone beat you to it. The site I learned the name change at had the pic of Shiggy with the Zelda gear giving that exact quote. Unfortunately, it wasn't one of my usual haunts, so I lost it.

In any case, here's a petition: sign, don't whine. (I just thought of that. Pretty clever, huh?)

I can think of slogans already:

Wii will, Wii will, ROCK YOU!

United, Wii stand

Some Comedian: As far as conseratives are concern, Wii > Revolution. Get it. rimshot

I prefer the Revolution name, but I predict the only ones who will be whining about the name will be the interweb geeks/nerds. Then they would probably get used to it after the first few weeks or whenever the games are shown.

Everyone else(meaning the mainstream) probably won't care that much or other.

They've paid their dues -
Time after time -
They've done their sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
They've made a few
They've had their share of sand kicked in their face -
But they've come through

Wii are the champions - my friends
And Wii'll keep on fighting - till the end -
Wii are the champions -
Wii are the champions
No time for posers
'Cause Wii are the champions - of the world.

Hm. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

...

Here Wii are, born to be kings...

Well, I must say, I never thought in a millon, zillon, gazillon, twiillon years that it would be called Wii, but it does make sense. I do love Revolution better though, and if they insisted on having the Wii name, maybe Wiivolution would have sounded better.

Anyway, I still plan on buying a Wii no matter what the name. Anyway, who thinks Nintendo's online service should be changed to Nintendo Wii-Fii?:]

Wouldn't the joke work with people named Anything, DL?

I mean, there's nothing more inherently funny about "Will's Wii" than about Bob's Wii or John's Wii or Sparkle the Transvestite Prostitute's Wii (Which will soon be modded)

Not to mention that there are more important things to petition about than a silly console name change.

Then again, I wasn't filled with uncontrollable angst when they switched from Rev to Wii and look more forward to the games. So what the hell do I know?

Oh stop flattering me Rico. By the way, want some wiid?

=D

Also, I went into a store......and took a Wii off the shelf.

My girl plays on my 360 all day, now she'll play with my Wii all night!

My neighbor hates my sound system... he came over and smashed my Wii with a baseball bat.

I beat him off with my Wii.

Now my Wii is broken.

AGH...I need to stop. XD

I'm buying one anyway.

And besides, wouldn't a Wii by any other name still play EVERY MARIO AND ZELDA GAME KNOWN TO MAN?

Except for the CD-i Zelda games. They're wiitarded. o.o

So what does that make the punmaker? <.<

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprized if it got a name change before release in the west, but even so, by then, I doubt anyone will care too much.
