I've read a couple of post in the forums and saw that people talking about what the name of the new system should be. I saw a few posts saying that the next system is going to be called "Nexus".
Although the name sounds cool, I dont think Nexus will be a good name for the system... It sounds too... mature. Well all know Nintendo main focus is the younger audience and mature gamers are second. Calling it Nexus almost sounds like they're targeting the older gamers...I just dont see my younger sister having a "Nintendo Nexus". I dont see "Nexus" mixing with a Nintendo console. I doubt they'll use it. It could works for a code name, but as the official name, it doesnt. Annnyywwwaaayyy, that's my two cents.
What's your take on this subject? What's a good name?

Some people here would have said Nintendo N-Gage, but that has since been taken by Nokia for a GBA rival.
You know what I think would be a cool (but weird) name?
2Cube.

I think the next Nintendo console should not include the words game, cube, or Nintendo in the main title (we should be bucking the trend of naming successing consoles similarly to their predecessors, like Sega's been doing).
Why?

Those specs are a little off. For one, I still wonder if we'll see a 2.0 GHz processor in the Gamecube. At any rate, there's no way we'll see a 2.0 GHz part from IBM on a 0.13 micron process in 2005. Furthermore, what's up with the USB and what are those dial things below the controller ports? I doubt we'll be seeing Blue-ray (at least, I don't feel so strongly about it YET) or a Gameboy cart slot.
I've already pointed out in another thread that IF Nintendo went with MoSys they'd be using 1T-SRAM-Q at the least. Even more advancements will probably come along from MoSys by then. I'm really not so sure about those bus numbers either.

).Anyway, I don't think game, cube, or Nintendo should be in the main title because it's boring and unoriginal. I don't like the name Playstation 2 because it's simply Playstation with a 2 slapped behind it. Super Nintendo was a pretty boring name as well, just a small addition to the Nintendo. Same for the Nintendo 64. Gamecube I like because it's really original for home consoles. I'd like to see something just as original and new next gen. Sega's the only company, I think, that really amde some great console names (Master System, Genesis, Saturn, Nomad, Dreamcast).

Now, the best "Game" name I can come up with is GameGear, but it was used before... GameStation? Gamebox? I think maybe GameCore would be a possibility. Does it sound like a magazine name?
If the word Game stays, what would you add to it?

The little dials are supposed to represent channels for the built in wavebird technology. A gameboy slot would be awesome, having the gameboy player built in like that would sell systems like mad!
It might even sell as much as the GBA in that case.

Why not just give the losers something to laugh at and call it the GayKiddie?
One of the things I've always liked about Nintendo is that they never let something fall into self-mockery. Everyone laughed at the SNES's name, joking that the next one would be called "ULTRA NINTENDO" or something (they still bought the SNES and thought it was cool, but they did think it was funny). Nintendo, luckily, has some smart PR people and they decided to not name it the ultra 64. Of course, at the time the N64 came out, bits were on their way out -- Sony never hyped the PS1's bits, but just the game medium (CDs) and what those media meant for gameplay.
So, if anything, the next console will either be similar to the Gamecube's name, or have something that makes it sound like a system that's made for games. I'd expect it to be small with a lot of features packed in that relate to actual gameplay, not just stuff tacked on that raises the price up (dvd, mp3, etc.).

Yes, this is anold article, but I wanted to clear up something... you cant copyright a name, you can only trademark it... and the trademark only applies to products within that field of products. So there can be a Nestle Nexus candy bar, a Toyota Nexus car, a Yamaha Nexus synthesizer, and a Nintendo Nexus video game system. So its, not out of the realm of possibilities. =)

I can't stand people calling "Gamecube 2", as it is the fifth Nintendo console and will NOT be a sequel to Gamecube of any kind. It will simply be the next console, with no relation to Gamecube. I saw somebody use or mention "Gamesphere" which is just as lame since it also follows up Gamecube, as if Gamecube was the first and this is the second. Gamecube had sort of a cubical form, so are there people suggesting that this supposed "Gamesphere" will be a ball? I would like to see somebody figure out how to make that functional. The "Nexus" idea is the most realistic of them all, and I would be surprised if it even came out being anything like that. Yes, right now we do not even have a project name to call it by, but do we have to invent our own ridiculous ones? If we all do that, we'll have this guy calling it "Gamecube 2", this other guy calling it "NES 5", the next one calling it "Nintendo Mega System", and still another calling it "Mario's Magical Box of Mystery" or whatever.
Post by: Termin8Anakin on June 27, 2003, 08:44:41 PM
You can call it the Nintendo 5 if you want.
Or the Nintendo 64 2.
Or the SNES2.
EDIT: Nintendo said that the Gamecube was the first of it's kind.
If so, the GC2 name fits perfectly.
Game-sphere and all that are just mockerys of NIntendo naming the console after a 3D shape.
Nexus isn't a project name.
It's a name conjured up by some Photoshop artist who drew the Nexus.
Nothing to be taken seriously.
Plus, Nintendo themselves internally are calling the new console Gamecube 2.
I don't why I'm even replying to the post as seriously as i am.

Other names I like are

Nintendo Next
Nintendo Nextgen (haha)
Nintendo Nightmare
Nintendo Nitro
Nintendo Noble (for Nintendo's philosophy of having moral games)
Nintendo Nocturnal (because we will all become nocturnal playing games when it comes out)
Nintendo Nanocube (it will be smaller than the GCN is right?)
I don't really like this name I though of but think of what it means:
Nintendo Nickelodeon
A nickelodeon was an early form of a jukebox. Nintendo could change that term into a meaning of 'entertainment box'.
Post by: NarmaK on August 09, 2003, 05:36:41 PM

Or they could just name it something normal and let people decide to get it based on something else, something that actualy matters.

"Doesn't play DVDs, but cleans, cooks and plays your favourite Nintendo games". I'd call mine Chii.
Another idea: What would we call it if Cray* made it a scalable system, i.e. you can plug together multiple N5s and multiply the device's power that way? Imagine a console retailing at like EUR70 which supports only one player but you can plug 'em together to get multiplayer, with each player having a full machine to handle their input and graphics. Or plugging more of them together to play more demanding games. You could even sell it in 1, 2 and 4-packs!
*: According to a rumor N works with IBM and Cray.

And they just re-registered the trademark so nobody else could use it, they are not using it for anything new.
But if they do use "NES5" for the new console they might call the japanese version the "Famicom5".

Also, those names are just more of the same. Stupid random words that kids think sound futuristic and very "the matrix"! Oh yeah, and they also sound like new washing machines.
Cant anybody think up something that makes sense, sounds cool, and represents Nintendo?
