...as far as I know only the Nintendo DS has kept its codename. Will Nintendo stick with the Revolution as its name or change to something stupid?

I personally believe The Revolution is an undeniably cooler name than say PS3.

Caillan · « **Reply #1 on:** April 09, 2005, 07:56:45 PM »

The DS' code name was Nitro, so it definately changed. The Revolution sounds fine to me, but I'm not fussed.

I think "Nintendo Revolution" sounds pretty cool. It has a real comeback sound to it. The name screams "Nintendo's back". Of course the name will sound really silly if it fails to catch on. It's a name that suggests something pretty major so it carries some pressure to deliver but it's a pretty cool name. It sounds pretty adult which is good for Nintendo.

I still think they should go with the whole retro name (and design lol). They should call it NE5 bringing it back to the NES roots while still acknowledging its current generation N5.

No numbers! I hate that sony just numbers off their systems, it's so unorigional. The only people that can get away with numbering things is Led Zeppelin, because they rock.

Truthliesn1seyes · « **Reply #8 on:** April 10, 2005, 01:00:54 AM »

Well if you think about it, the number thing is just as bad as 64 or Super. Nintendo even went and used part of their console title for their games also as if we didn't already know it was for that system. Super Nintendo had Super Mario Bros, Super Metriod, Super Mario Kart etc... Nintendo 64 had Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Ogre Battle 64 etc. The number thing isn't so bad for now (it'll get bad if they keep at it for generation to generation much like sequals just start to look bad once they have 3+ numbers after the titles). In the case the N5 would mark Nintendo's 5 generation in consoles. It'll emphasise Nintendo's long lasting presence in the industry that many mainstream seem to look past.

It has to be a name where you can say: Hey, you wanna play some _____ for awhile?
GameCube works, PS2 works, XBox works, Revolution doesn't really work quite as well. Paired to make Nintendo Revolution does sound pretty cool to me though. But alone, it doesn't sound like a game system.

Nintendo Revolution is starting to stick with me. It grew on me just like Sega DreamCast(Greatest Name Evar!!!). It really all depends on what the system can do. Say if it plays HD_DvD's or Blu-Rays, then it really should be called The Nintendo Entertainment System(TNES). Ever since I heard the "rumor" of a Nintendo/Apple partnership, I dreamed of a cross console/iMac or better yet an iPod version of the DS but I have a better chance of selling snow shovels in Cuba. Anyhoo, Rev is O.k. with me. They could call it "SuperFunBox256dsa" and I'll still buy one the day it launches @ midnight.

I think Nintendo really ought to nail a brand name they can hang on to for a few generations. It saves a lot of marketing time when you can just refer to something as the new PlayStation or the new Game Boy, and Nintendo needs that kind of recognition with their home consoles.

vudu · « **Reply #15 on:** April 12, 2005, 09:04:48 AM »

That's something they should consider doing when they end the current generation in the lead. When there's as much negative stigma associated with your brand name as there is with GameCube it's usually better to start fresh. Otherwise, people who wrote off GameCube as kiddie might automatically write off GameCube 2.

As an example, look at the NES - SNES relation. Nintendo won the 8-bit generation, and therefore kept the same name for the 16-bit generation

PowerHair · « **Reply #16 on:** April 12, 2005, 05:03:11 PM »

engh, sony will probably stop numbering their playstaions after 4. By then it'll be Playstation 2020 and Xbox Xtreme.
And Nintendo does have a consistent brand name for their home consoles: 'Nintendo'. They don't need anything else because, unlike Sony and Microsoft, making videogame consoles is the primary thing Nintendo does.
'yes, but Nintendo has negative press surrounding it! They need a new brand name!' No, they need to change the negative press, which is what I think they're trying to do with Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution.

Except they can't do that next time either because 'Revolution 2: this time 2x as revolutionary!' sounds silly.
Right now it doesn't look like Nintendo wants to create a new home-console franchise name. Nintendo's names are too specific: unless they want to make another cube-shaped system, another dual-screen system, or another 'revolutionary' system, they're out of luck next time around.

I like Nintendo Revolution. Picture this, everytime someone goes to the store to buy one, the could be saying: "I'd like a Revolution please." Just bout gives me goosebumps saying that in my head.

The name could definitely work for the next gen coming up, but they would have to pick something else for the generation after that.

Nintendo 21 was a rather large rumor that came from this guy in some forum. The thing is this guy's track record when it comes to Nintendo was pretty damn good so folks seemed to take heed to his hush-hush and looky-looky info he had. If you're lookin for details then I have no idea. Tell you what I'll do. I will go ask my reverse credible source about this and whatever she says then the complete oppisite mush be true.

Here's looking at you Sherri, may we all learn from what you don't know.

The word Revolution will stick in some kinda way. More than likey part of the ad campaign and slogan. Something like this...

"On Sep 15th 2006, Evolution has a Revolution( you see every Nintendo console morph in to the next until we see the new system for like a quick 2secs)"
In terms of looks, this system has got to be the Zexiest system to every grace God's earth. Although I would love if it looked like a NES. That would be the best thing and they decide to just call it The Nintendo.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #25 on:** April 14, 2005, 02:15:29 AM »

I'd vote for "Prometheus". Sounds like it'd fit a piece of electronics and is an evil AI in a game. Also, Prometheus was the one that went against the will of the gods and brought fire to the humans. "Lucifer" or "Satan" would have too many negative conotations (yeah, he opened the eyes of man but people hate him for that). Or just for fun imagine a system called Yggdrassil with a controller shaped like a rope around your neck and a screen that looks like an eyepatch (wonder how many know their mythology enough to catch THAT).

Ian Sane: I think you just pronounce it the Nintendo Entertainment System...but the 5 in print represents the generation. Represents it different than the first system.

I like the name, but I don't think it fits very well. It doesn't scream cool or generate any kind of hype. Though, it may build hype and interest to the older gamers remembering the first generation.

In fact Nintendo could build advertising based around the old NES.

Two page print ad.

I doubt that the Rev's official name will have any correlation with the gamecube...due to the stigma surrounding the gamecube. From a marketing perspective if it did Nintendo could lose the battle before the system is released.

I like the name Turbo Hyper Edition Super Nintendo Entertainment System II or the THE_SNES2 and its motto could be
"Think this is an ordinary video game console...HELL F***ING NO YOU IDIOT, Buy this console or GO TO HELL!!!!" that motto alone would cause a gigantic uproar from consumer groups effectively advertising the console for free.

Or how about Nintendo Coup d'etat, kinda fits with what has happened to Nintendo over the past 10 years.

But since the revolution is supposedly re-inventing the video game industry Nintendo could go back to its grass-roots with
'Nintendo Entertainment System' which pays homage to their first video game console.

there's nothing wrong with communism. it is no worse than capatilism (spelling?). any time though that the majority of the wealth is held by a fraction of a percent of the population you pretty much know you are not living in a free society no matter what your gov't likes to call itself. in other words the label a gov't choses to describe its stance on economic issues whether capatilist or communist, does not matter. what matters is whether they believe in civil liberties or dictatorship.

Actually we are still in the 64 bit era, and will continue to be as both the rev and Xbox360 will be based on the ppc architecture (like the g5 powering your mac).

The number of bits the processessor is simply tells how many bits the processor can process in one clock cycle.

If they rename it I want ti to be called the Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System or UNES because I always thought Ultra 64 was WAY cooler than N64 and they really shoulud have went from NES, to SNES, UNES. IMO anyways. I like the Maybe just Nintendo Revolution or NRev would work too. But Nintendo needs to be not only in the name but also on the machine. Game Cube was a good name at first cuz it was tied into Game Boy which was a popular product, but it back fired in that it looks like atoy, not a gaming machine.

Well they gave the name Revolution way before the 360 was announced - it seems like Microsoft named it that just to make it compare favourably to both the PS3 and the Revolution. If they named it Xbox 2, then it would be less than PS3, so they named it Xbox 360. And a 360 is a Revolution...

"Famicom V" is one that I personally like. It'd play very well in Japan, but would leave most everyone else scratching their heads.

Nintendo NEXUS sounds cool, but sounds too much like Lexus. It also denotes a media center or hub, which isn't N's focus.

Nintendo VC (for Virtual Console) could work as well if the DS continues to run strong deep into next year.

It will not be the Gamecube 2. Maybe if the Gamecube had done much better this generation. But then we wouldn't be getting the sweet new controller.

funny how ken lob was bitching about wavebord and then the xbox 360 controller is a cross between a wavebird and a genesis controller.

What about the "Nintendo Revolution System?" NRS for short. Or simply the "Nintendo"?

Synonyms for Revolution, courtesy of Dictionary.com:

anarchy, bloodshed, cabal, coup, coup d'etat, crime, debacle, destruction, disorder, foment, guerrilla activity, innovation, insubordination, insurgency, metamorphosis, mutiny, outbreak, overthrow, overturn, plot, radical change, rebellion, reformation, reformation, reversal, revolt, rising, row, shake-up, shift, strife, strike, subversion, transformation, tumult, turbulence, turmoil, turnover, underground activity, unrest, upheaval, upheaval, uprising, uprising, uproar, upset, violence

It's a plot! Flouridization! The Commies! Call in General Turgidson, Mandrake! We cannot allow a mineshaft gap!

What about the Nintendo Morph (suggests that it will forever change the way we play)? or the Nintendo Alpha (beginiing of a new era...also the Alpha of a pack is the leader)?

All the logos, btw, should be in lower case, e.g. [nintendo alpha]

All names should leave room for rerelease/rebranding - e.g. Second revision could be [alpha mini] or [alpha micro].

Seriously, I'm loving Alpha. Also, the tagline should be my new sig.

this generation i theorise that xbox 360 will at least be number 1 in the united states.. My friend who jumped off the nintendo bandwagon, and jumped onto the xbox 360 bandwagon...is now on the revolution bandwagon because he heard it could be very cheap.

No, it won't; It will now be called the Nintendo Wii. Pass it on.
