I mean, I can understand saying "Revolution" might not be natural to them, but anyone can say Rev/Revo. Check the comments for that article to find out what people from other nations think about it. The French also hate it.

The comparison to Stan Hansen is odd. Stan Hansen yells "HOOOOOO" at the top of his lungs but I don't really associate that with "WEEEEEEEEE". He also kicks ass and I would personally consider it good if something reminded me of him.

"Guys, let's go home and play with my wee."
"Can we all play with your wee?"
"Sure. The more people playing with my wee, the better."
"Mom, Timmy's coming over to hook our wees together."
It will only get worse.
Was anyone mocking Revolution? I don't think so. In fact, people loved saying "Viva la Revolution!"

The only way the name will get changed is if the Japanese hate it
So I guess there is some hope now then. They won't want to back down though

The top for me is and will always be Twilight Princess remote functionality, but this is awfully close.

This blows TP revmote clear out of the water for me. Revmote functionality isn't going to hinder sales like this will.

You know, now that you mention it, I think in Fire Pro Wrestling S (and probably D too), Stan Hansen yelled "Wii!" when he did his jumping lariat.
Maybe when he was in Japan there was some cultural reason Hooo! wouldn't fly so they had him change it to Wii?

So wouldn't the Revolution in Japan sound like levolution?

But if its due to the reason you mentioned then ist should be ok to use Revolution.

Never heard of that. Virtually every Stan Hansen match I've ever seen has been from Japan and he was yelling "HOOO!" in every one of them.
I'm thinking that maybe Japanese people can't properly imitate the "HOOO!" sound so when a wrestling fan impersonates Hansen they shout "WEEE!" and no one can tell the difference. Thus "WEEE!" is used in Fire Pro.

Yeah I'm quoting myself bitches, sod off. What kotaku said was that in Japan the word "cute" was used alot more than "piss", therefore I don't get the title!

what do the japanese think about it? i think most of them are oblivious.

I can go in full and then read something that has anything to do with her and feel empty and unsatisfied. Bad marketing person bad.
Yeah, it's lucky Reggie makes up for her.
