Topic: IF Revolution still is a code name...

The Big Jim/Ian System: Nintendo Entertainment Graphics Are Vitally Important To Everyone N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E.

The funny thing is I actually like the Rainbow Dream Machine name. It sounds trippy and Japanese and sorta right for Nintendo like Renny mentioned. It also reminds me of Kirby, my favorite character and Iwata's as well. Maybe Iwata would go for the name. I'd like to see Reggie market that.

Myself, I tried to think of names for the console why back when they stressed Revolution was just a codename. I tried to think of a name that would match it's description. At the time, there was only photo's of the black shell unveiled at E3. So, I thought Monolith from 2001. Then I realized that the console was supposed to be small and monolith made it sound to big. So then I thought of the name Mini-lith. But that still didn't sound good. And as I pondered M names, I came upon a revelation. The Miyamoto. The Nintendo Miyamoto. Thereby appealing to the hardcore Nintendo fans as well as other gamers as well. I believe even Peter Moore was expressing interest in how great it would be to have Miyamoto work for Microsoft. With such a respected name like that, the Miyamoto would be sure to become the number one console.

Or call it the Nintendo Revelation. (I just came up with that as I was writing this.) I'm sure it would go over well in the red states and once you've got Arkansas, you've got the world. Just ask Wal-Mart.

Nintendo Miyamoto.. has a nice ring to it

[KDR_11k]

Revolution sounds just stupid and pretentious. We've gotten used to it but I still remember how much I hated that name when it was first announced. Why not name it "Best console ever!" or something even more boastful?

Nintendo RSI. Because that's what people will call it anyway. Going up against the Sore Thumbs 3 and Brick Controller 360.

Rainbow Dream Machine sounds like a game title. Or maybe a song in Katamari Damacy.

Miyamoto doesn't want his name plastered on a game (as opposed to, say, Sid Meyer or American McGee), he really wouldn't like it if you named a system after him.

Nintendo Prometheus sounds nice and goes with the evil AI theme of the next generation (XC being called Xenon and having a Core version, Cell promising to work like SkyNet) plus Prometheus gave us enlightenment.

Martin Luther didn't want his name on a religion and yet here we have Lutheranism.

2006: Game Odyssey or N2GO for short. (Back to that whole 2001 thing)

One problem with the Nintendo Miyamoto (besides the fact that hardly anyone would know what it means) is that there would probably be pronunciation issues with the non-Japanese public.  When I first read his name I thought it was pronounced my-a-moh-toh but as I've become more familiar with Japanese names I think it's pronounced mee-a-moh-toh.  I'm not even sure of that but I've become so used to my initial thinking that I have to force myself to pronounce it with a mee.  Other people would probably pronounce the first o as "ah" like "motto".  I think it's best to have English words for the American public to easily pronounce.

How about, "Fun Brick"

[TrueNerd]

Revolution is a way better console name then Xbox 360 and doesn't invoke snores like PS3. Is it a bit arrogant? Sure, but hopefully Nintendo will be able to walk the walk after talking the talk. That's why I likes it.

Or they could call it the Nintendo "At Least This Console Doesn't Feature Connectivity" Entertainment System. That'd be enough for me.  

[couchmonkey]

No offense KDR, but I think "Prometheus" is even more pretentious than Revolution.  I mean, it's almost like calling it a revolution, only you get to dangle your knowledge of Greek mythology over everyone's heads on top of that.  Maybe if they were marketing the system to geeks only.  But I do agree that Revolution is a bit too much.  I got used to it too, but it's certainly not humble.

I'm pretty sure they'll give it another boring acronym name.  Nintendo NC "New Control".

[KDR_11k]

Naming things after greek mythological figures is normal. Revolution is just so blatant.

[nemo_83]

If you go naming the system after mythological figures the right wing will say the system is pagan, or in their words "devil worship."

You may as well name it Juanita's Circle Jerk.

NV, Nintendo Virtual; NVE, Nintendo Virtual Entertainment; NE1; NRS, Nintendo Remote System.

[Smash_Brother]

Nintendo RS sounds good and goes well with the DS.

But I admit I like "Fun Brick" as well...

[KDR_11k]

RS sounds too... racing-ish. Not that we know what racing-ish means.

N2GO... Just no. Having the letters N and G in your name is a bad omen as the NEO GEO and N-Gage can testify.

NVE... The virtual part just doesn't make sense, never mind NVE sounds too much like NVA, the army of the GDR.

[nemo_83]

pronounce it envy

[Plugabugz]

Nintendo Europe. As a constant reminder that we're getting it last!

[zakkiel]

Couchmonkey is right. Prometheus would be the most obscenely pretentious name ever.

[Caliban]

NPS = Nintendo Playstation

LOL!

[IceCold]

Brilliant. Or Nintendo PSXbox, either one..

[Smash_Brother]

They intend to grab the previously untapped Christian gamer market with the "Nintendo Revelation".

[iMoron]

NRES, Nintendo Revolution Entretaintment System... Or simply RES... Revolution Entretaintment System

They could just name it NES 2...

GameBrick... along the lines of GameCube... (nahhh)

Nintendo Rebellion...

Nintendo iMoron (why not... !!??!?!?... ummm)

Nintendo Ian (there "Ian Sane" would be proud... and we would be doomed... )

Nintendo Bloodworth (there thats mature enought... and better than the ubove one)

NN... Nintendo Nintendo (like Mario Mario)...

Nintendo Pipin (*ahhhh... no... why are all of you with bats... this ain't no baseball game!...)

Nintendo XXX (now... thats mature.... 3 X's are neat... its like 1x2x3x... multiply baby... errr....)

NES-SNES-N64-Cube (try say that 10 times fast... ok lame)

Nintendo Linux (... ok... I need to stop... that makes no sence)

Nintendo Millenium (that sounds just as devilish as the Millenium series...)

Nintendo Magic.......... (nahhh...)

The Nintendo GameSphere (from Southpark).

[lastexit]

N5 is a good name, in large part because it sounds like it's two generations ahead of the ps3 and xbox3(60)

americans are so stupid it'll work.

As an American, I humbly concur.

[animecyberrat]

well to be fair I am a christian and I know hundreds of christian gamers and they are no diffeent from regular non crhistian gamers, my room mate is ahcristian but she is a avid Ps fan and dislikes Nintendo, and alot of my christiand freinds are ps fans. Also Nintendo didnt even get the Bible game but xbox and ps2 did.  

[UncleBob]

Let's just call it the Sex-Box.  We'll get the X-Box hype and a more mature image.
