Nintendo gives the Revolution a new name - Wii

This from Nintendo's official site:

If the print is to small, click on the image to view it larger - they've also got a really great little flash movie up there.

Just curious, where's the line that says "Wii've lost our freakin' minds!" ?

Ohhhh Nintendo... at least it can be said, they always march to the beat of their own drum.

Ah ha!

Good finds there Mark.

I think the name will be ok. The "GameCube" and "DS" were met with some flack when their names were released. And even the 360 didn't receive much fan fare. But we all know and love them now.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That will definately take some getting used to at work.

I wonder what sort of clever mispronunciations my customers from out past the overpass will cook up?

So long as there's a next gen Punch-Out!, I'm there.

this is insane...i agree with Jon, pronunciation is going to be a problem. "Something everyone can pronounce no matter what their language?" well why did the ad have to tell us HOW it's pronounced?? argh.
