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.
...Damn, Pat L is going to be in here and make fun of us...
Why did they choose Wii? I'd rather have a Revolution...
Clearly, this means that Sega is planning to re-enter the console market.
Me: *Walks into a game shop*
Hi, can I have a wii please?
Shop assisstant: ...
Me: No! I mean the new nintendo console!
So yeah, I do not approve.
Clearly...
Wii are not amused. hyuck, hyuck, hyuck.
Well, I have to say... Why? All i need to find out is that the box shown at e3 last year will now have Pikachu stickers all over it and erm...yeah.
Its a silly name but so is iPod.
I have to go now I have to shoot a wicked wii.
Got in there first.
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.
You fail, Tib. Sorry. =(
Edgeworth is a prosecuting attorney. THERE IS NO JURY. >=O
So... the link cable?
WiiWii or WiiNiir?
~Rico
Oh my.
Oh jeez.
What the...?
Gah.
I can see it now. Someone phones me: "Hey man, what's up?" Me: "Oh, not much. Playing with my Wii."
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?)
XD
He must be having fun. It's a wii of joy!
Mmmm. That gives me an idea, actually.
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
iiw
(pronounced "ew") =D
Edgeworth is a prosecuting attorney. THERE IS NO JURY. >=O
I know that. I needed one of those characters to be a jury guy and he was most fitting.
Just as I predicted, everyone is punning "Wii" or making potty jokes behind it....err...carry on.
Well, glad to see you wiilize that wii're have a heckuva time.
Nintendo's actually right, it seems stupid now, but in a matter of time, the wii will start to grow on everyone.
*giggle*
The French should have no problem with the new name.
'Wii wii wii, oh ho ho!' /snooty French accent
Doesn't know if he suppossed to hate French or Americans.
Its spelt oui.
Hah i just ruined a joke.
I can think of slogans already:
Wii shall overcome
Wii will, Wii will, ROCK YOU!
United, Wii stand
Some Comedian: As far as conseratives are concern, Wii > Revolution. Get it. rimshot

I can think of slogans already:
...
Wii will, Wii will, ROCK YOU!
:O how dare you steal the slogan from my site!
This board needs an ENEMA! 
~Rico plays with his wii controller
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.
That names going to do nothing but INCREASE popularity. XD
~Rico
The only people who are ghoing to piss and moan about this after the first week are people who would never buy a Rev/Wii anyway =/
LOLZ I wanna playz NiGHTS2 on my new Wii.
Mario Wii!
Sonic Wii!
Just think of the possibilities for game names! =D
ARG. x_X For shame, Nintendo. For shame.
Signed the petition. Crossed the 'i's. Dotted the 't's.
I TRUSTED YOU NINTENDO =O
And x_x @ lame 'Wii' jokes
In the words of the immortal Jman,
Internet petitions are no way to change the world.
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?![:]](https://www.lighthead.net/misc/mofo/smilies/biggrinshaded.gif)
Sucks for people named Will -.-....
Lil cuz: Sup man...
other cuz: What are you doing..
cuz: PLayin' with Will's Wii
Other cuz: o.O Is it fun?
cuz: Ahh, it's a lil lame. No real strength. Just..pretty long gameplay.
Yeah Cyk and Rico beat me to it, but my life is over once that comes out. I'm never goig to hear the end of those jokes.
Crap! I broke my Wii controller!
Quote:
Signed the petition. Crossed the 'i's.
Both of them?
Man, this is too easy.
Nintendo broke today...and it cried 'Wii, Wii, Wii' all the way home!
Yeah, too easy. But it's fun. 
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?

The Wii is not strong in this one.
Holy CRAP! Ultra made TWO funnies?!
It's the end of the world as wii know it.
~Rico
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
Yes you do.
~Rico
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
Oh phooey. You're no fun. They're puns. They're supposed to be stupid, don'tcha know.
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.
