Too Much Wii...or How Bad Nintendo Can Screw Up a Name
A suprise announcement by Nintendo revealed their name for the Revolution.
Wii
Pronounced "we" or "wee," as in "Wii are trying to sound post modern." or "Let's name our system after a pajorative term for urine, but spell it differently."
All over the IGN blogs, you will find almost every post will be some way to mock this new name. Revolution not only sounded good, but was a good name for the system that was about change. Now, wii got a very mockable name, something that seems like an inverse Reggielution.
Here's to hoping that this becomes a similar situation to the PS3 controller; Nintendo figures out that this isn't all that good. Or better, it was a late April Fools (darn good way to do so).
