that link worked for me, but i can't log onto nintendo.com

i sent them a message.

ThePerm · « **Reply #4 on:** April 27, 2006, 09:35:16 AM »

though the flash for Nintendo Wii is really nice, i just cant say "wii" all the time

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #5 on:** April 27, 2006, 09:36:00 AM »

I just sent mine in as well.

I'm still hoping this is a bad joke so when they reveal the REAL name at E3, we can all have a good laugh about it...

Mario · « **Reply #6 on:** April 27, 2006, 09:37:54 AM »

Let's just laugh now instead

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #7 on:** April 27, 2006, 09:38:48 AM »

I just don't get how the company could be so EXTREMELY sensible about a name like "DS", one which was clearly adopted and liked by all, and yet so absolutely batsh*t crazy when it comes to naming their last hope for a prayer in hell in the home console market...

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #8 on:** April 27, 2006, 09:44:01 AM »

Are we allowed to send them emails if we think the name is a brilliant and hilarious idea?

I'll probably send them some ideas for tips and such as well. Mario's idea for Pikmin Thwii is awesome.

Caliban · « **Reply #9 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:06:38 AM »

Smash_Brother, I laugh at you! I'm gonna send them a warm Wii message to Nintendo.

Ceric · « **Reply #10 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:14:07 AM »

Ah ha I got my out when I first saw the thread so they know my opinion. I wonder what's going to happen next week when they can digest all of this.

ThePerm · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:18:47 AM »

i sent them an e-mail. If the name doesnt change I'm not buying one. You could say something like "it doesn't matter what the name of the system is, its all about the games"
That may be very ideal, but in my opinion if they can't even get the name of the system right then they probably can't get anything right. It's not like Nintendo have released anything groundbreaking in the last few years as far as games go.

i've been wanting to be a game developer since 7th grade when Mario 64 came out, this intensified even further after zelda came out. I've graduated high school, and am in my fourth year of college. I've been working hard. I always had soem zealous goal that one day I would help Nintendo become the glory that it once was. Is it still possible, or are my dreams just a sinking ship?

Ign says Perrin Kaplan confirmed this is all legit......WTF. She said they did some research. Did they ask anybody in America if it was a good name? If in a group of ten they got one bad response. They should have axed it immediately. I know if they had done that then they would have been doing research.

What happened to Nintendo of America, have they lost all backbone or control. When Howard Lincoln and Minoru Arakawa left did they stop running things regionally.

maybe Kenn Lobb left for a reason. He did say they were a sinking ship. I think Iwata is just as bad as Yamauchi.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #12 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:21:07 AM »

That is quite possibly the sh!ttiest post I've ever seen on the internet.

And god knows that's saying something, perm.

My wii is warm, too.

See? This is the problem here...

I might send them an email though I doubt they'll care. The last time I sent them an email was when the first demo disc for the Cube was available only with the purchase of a new console. I think the problem is that it is impossible to write such an email without calling Nintendo an idiot. You don't have to say it outright (and shouldn't) but I find that with Nintendo usually their bad ideas are so insane that it's impossible to point out why it's a bad idea without insulting them.

If you choose to write an email make sure it's well written and doesn't say stuff like "this is such a stupid idea". Be polite and be civil. The problem is for every well written email they get they'll get 20 fanboy rants that aren't worth anyone's time.

ThePerm · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:28:00 AM »

i just told them they were incompetant

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #16 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:28:37 AM »

Enough angry rants will still get them to change.

After the flood of bad press from the ultra horrible Mario Sunshine commercial, Nintendo pulled it.

God willing, this flood of bad press will get them to do the same.

Nosferat2 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:31:09 AM »

Here IAN, this is my post from Revolution Report. I already posted this on this site but you made me do it here again. They Need to be insulted. there is no way around it. The name is rediculous. Nintendo should not have to be told that. But sense we do have to tell them the only way to get throught to them is to insult them. I think they think that they are gods and infallible. That is hardly the case. Here is my post from Rev report. I will cut an paste it again and email to Nintendo:

Edited by Moderator Im sorry but 20 years of loyalty shall now cease. i will buy( maybe rent one if i can) a Revolution only to Play Metriod Prime 3. Then i will return the Rev back to the store and never look at Nintendo again.

As soon as revolution report changes its name to Wiireport i will no longer be a memebr here.

First no HD, then underpowering it, and now a sissy azz name. Jesus. its amazing how one company can screw something that had so much potential up.

Im outta here,
peace Nosferatu

I like the name, but I admit something more conservative might have been smarter...might have.

I think it will be fun to see if this name really takes the system down, though. I believe it will succeed anyway. I don't think the media is going to say too much, except for some of the hardcore gaming media. It's not really a topic that matters to anyone but hardcore gamers, the mainstream media will probably do little more than add, "The oddly-named" every time they say "Wii".

Ian Sane · « **Reply #19 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:34:35 AM »

"if they can't even get the name of the system right then they probably can't get anything right."

This is pretty much what I think has been Nintendo's problem for years. People think like this because logically it kind of makes sense. This is why small stupid sh!t hurt the Cube. If Nintendo can't get routine things like memory cards or demo discs right then how can one assume they'll get the really important stuff right? In the end Nintendo still makes great games and their products are of incredibly quality and durability and they have fantastic customer service. So they actually do get some of the most important things right. But only people who give Nintendo a chance notice those things. Too many people are turned off because of the "well if they can't get something my senile grandpa could figure out right they must suck" problem.

It is because of things like this that have killed my faith in Nintendo. I don't trust them because I'm certain that I could grab people off the street and they could avoid some of the blatant goof-ups Nintendo has made.

The name isn't going to turn me off of the Rev. The non-gamer focus and the controller might but the name won't. However if I feel because of the name the Wii isn't going to sell worth a damn in North America I won't buy it because I'm tired of paying good money for consoles with no future. If I think the console isn't going to take off I might as well wait a little while and pick it up in the bargain bin.

That's worse than Perm's post. You win the Internet!

EDIT: Two people posted in the time it took me to write that. I suck at this. I'm referring to Nosferat2's post.

It hasn't been hacked. Peter Griffin's cousin himself has confirmed the name is real.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #22 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:36:24 AM »

Oh yeah, all of these are real civil.

I can where you're coming from, honestly. Wii does seem like a terrible name for marketing, even to me. I just happen to personally like it.
Ian and Smash_Brother, while I disagree with them, have some valid points.
Nosferat2, the sooner you're gone the better. You can follow suit, Perm.

Edit: Okay, I just read Ian's post and his isn't much better at all. I do my best to justify Ian's pointless complaints sometimes, but now it's just immature whining.
And yes, even Nosferat2 managed to knock perm from the top spot, in a mere matter of moments. What a startling turn of events!

ThePerm · « **Reply #23 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:37:45 AM »

first I can't convince my friends the controller is cool(it is), then it's underpowered(which I was almost about to overlook), now the name is wiitarded.

if i do end up buying it. It shall be WII, or w2..now i will associate it with taxes

eljefe · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2006, 10:37:49 AM »

why?

I LOVE the name!

I'm actually going to send congrats for success.

This is MARKET DISRUPTION IN PRACTICE.

All those keynotes mean nothing if they don't back it up..
