how about the Nintendo Freestyle?
It would attract the hip-hop culture maybe, and imagine using the voice software alrdy being implemented in mp:h to make an actual freestyle game? it would be online and the judges would be the other battlers. like you have brackets and stuff and those not in a current battle would judge the ones currently battling, idk how u'd do the final two, but you can't tell it would sell systems. look at when mtv did the battle thing, so many  people came that when they told some people they couldn't participate someone got shot, at least if they did it online people wouldn't get shot.

Gawd no! Freestyle is even worse than XBox 360 as a name.

Freestyle sounds like you should ride around on it. Sounds too new-age and hippy, beyond that.

I still like "Revolution".

It was a tongue in cheek comment. while i wouldn't put it past nintendo to use the name i wish they'd just stick with revolution. that's what everyone calls it, so leave it at that. it's a good name. it wraps up their entire strategy in one word.

Has anyone suggested Power NES yet?

Aye, I'd buy 2 or 3 P-Neses.

Quickly!  Load up Smash Bros, get two players, and have one person select Pichu, but the second select Ness almost immediately afterward.

Now imagine the MIGHTINESS of that name, being said over and over!

"Mommy mommy!  Buy me a P-Nes!"  
"My P-Nes is black and is WAY COOLER than your dinky white one."
"Who keeps shoving thier copy of Gilmore Girls into the P-Nes?"
"OH GOD THE P-NES IS ON FIRE!"


Best. Name. Evar.

The same thing works with Peach and ness.  YOu can do it with one person, you just put the chip on ness, then pick it up, and hold it over peach, but do not select her.  Now hit B B A as fast as you can, the chip goes back to ness, then hits peach. Hilarity ensues.

Edit: I would like to point out that I am not perverted enough to find this on my own, a friend told me about it, and now you all know.

Hey, it could be called the Nintendo Five.  Or N5.

* Five is a nice incremental number, N5 rolls easily
* This is the 5th Nintendo
* This system plays 5 generations of Nintendo products
* Rhymes with Wi-Fi :p


* Wi-Fi games will be able to support up to 5 opponents (instead of 3 on the DS) [Sorry small jab there]

I scanned this thread really quick and didn't see 'five' anywhere, although I'm sure someone has already brought it up somewhere.  It's also late and this thought just popped into my head.  I found it entertaining.

Any other relations to the number 5?

Then it could get struck by lightning and walk around exclaiming 'number five is alive!'

Ahem.

I wouldn't mind 'N5'. Or Nintendo 'Go'. Or whatever else. Though I do still think Revolution is the better name.

It's been confirmed that Revolution's name will change:

Quote

IGN: Is Revolution the final name of your new system?

Beth: No, it's not.

IGN: So it's definitely a codename?

Beth: It's a codename.

IGN: And it's going to change?

Beth: It is going to change.

Really, I'm getting more and more attached to the Revolution name, and if its just a code name then they need to dumb it quick before I get any more used to calling it that.

I have two questions.

1) What does Nintendo think they will gain by changing the name, if all it's going to do is piss off their user base?

2) Are they changing it because they don't want confusion re: 360 = a revolution?

Keep the name, Nintendo.  Nothing is better than Revolution.

And as for Beth...sigh.  It's not cute anymore, you know?  Her snarky little attitude.  J Allard and Phil Harrison might be prime rib idiots, but I don't like the polar opposite either, which is what she is - a lot of flippant, glib little replies.

IGN - Tell us about Revolution.

Beth - OH IT WILL HAVE GAMES.

IGN - Tell us more.

Beth - GOOD GAMES!

IGN - When will we hear about them?

Beth - THE FUTURE.

*sigh*

You know there is completely a right and wrong way to handle PR, and she clearly doesn't know what the distinction is.  Because this isn't simply being secretive, this is flat-out ignoring and concentrated attempts to be as unhelpful as possible.  I'd almost take a generic Gamestop employee telling me God of War 3 is in development for the Rev over her bullshit.

It also pisses me off that she's contradicting other statements by Nintendo personnel.  For example, the last secret about the Rev, to her, is "oh it could be any number of things."  Wtf?  And when asked about Zelda:TP Rev control, she insists "oh it's just a GC title and nothing more."

That is borderline damaging to potential customers, whether or not it's confined to the digital realm.  Sure Joe Consumer won't hear it, but there are plenty of techies out there watching this information like hawks.  We don't need someone who is obviously clueless running around acting like a school girl looking for a date to the dance.  

I mean here's a woman telling IGN that she almost literally doesn't know a damn thing about the system outside of the bare minimum ("It will have games!  Games you play! ....With Controllers!"), and we're supposedly 8 months or so away from launch.  That's retarded.  They could hire any one of us and we could do a better job, and I'm not even kidding.

I hope they keep the "Revolution" name. They used the DS' code name so I guess there is still hope. I would be ok with something like "N5" but I just can't think of anything better then Revolution, plus the name is well known throught (even most casuals know it as the Rev).
