Author Topic: Nintendo Nexus: Next-gen name? (Read 25394 times)

Unseensoul · « **on:** March 25, 2003, 08:36:58 AM »

I'm new here so I dont know if a topic like this has been posted before... Anyways, to my point.
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?

Nexus is a kick-ass 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.

Nexus sounds great, but I'm pretty sure the name has already been copyrighted by another company for some completely different product. The reason, I believe, Nintendo Nexus sounds so good is because you have the repitition of the "n" sound, which is very appealing to the ear. Anyway, 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). Here's some ideas from me:

Infinite
Nemesis
Proxima
Xeon

Considering the line of chips from Intel, I doubt Xeon would pass Nintendo's legal department. Nexus probably would, though, unless some sort of computer hardware or gaming product has already trademarked the name.

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.

Yeah, I just remembered that Xeon was an Intel processor (maybe that's why I was thinking of it

).

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).

For starters, THE ONE, you can stop using all caps. Second, we do know that the Nexus is a mock up- we're just speculating about what Nintendo's next console will be like and since the Nexus is the best fan's opinion yet, we feel like discussing it.

noentiendo64 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2003, 03:29:43 PM »

I am pretty sure Nintendos next system will include the word "game", like Nintendo´s top product, the Game Boy, even if the gamecube is less than succesful. Playstation 3 is a no brainer, and Xbox 2 is a pretty sure call, since all the money MS is eagerly spending in it is to create a strong brand identity for future products.
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.

Back when SEGA released the Genesis (many , many years ago - geez, im getting old), I thought it would be cool if Nintendo went with the name REVELATION for the successor to the NES, for 3 reasons : 1. I thinks its cool! 2. The superior graphics and power would be like a revelation. 3. The obvious biblical reference (genesis may be the beginning, but revelation is the end!). Insted we got the highly innovative SNES (whopee).

Maybe the NINTENDO REVELATION will be the successor to the Gamecube???

Johnny · « **Reply #21 on:** April 16, 2003, 10:41:55 AM »

I have the gamecube, but I think Nintendo Nexus is totally lame, and yes it is going back to the style like N64 which was a failure. I think Nintendo should go with dvd drive, I mean sometimes I can't fit my Gamecube in a slot because of having to open the cover to put a disc in. So Nintendo please go with a smiliar DVD-Format so that it can be eject in and out. One question, does it still play miny dvd-rom???

Pure Entertainment Nintendo Intelligence System?

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.).

Ok. Why is everyone in this thread talking as if this "Nexus" were real? In the other thread in here (something like 'Where can i find pictures of Nexus?') they were saying that some guy at ign (paladin69? I dunno...) used photoshop to make it. I'm not criticizing anyone; I'm just confused. Is the Nexus the real deal or not? I personally am starting to believe its fake. I mean, the Gamecube is a little over a year old. It's WAY too soon to be even CONSIDERING revealing their next console to the public. But hey, what do I know? I just buy their stuff. It's not like I'm in charge of their marketing stategies.

Mingesium · « **Reply #33 on:** May 02, 2003, 10:39:54 AM »

After Ultra we could then have the phenoemal.

the Nintendo Entertainment System or the Super Nintendo Entertainment System didn't

RABicle · « **Reply #37 on:** May 08, 2003, 03:50:44 PM »

True but they called them entertainment systems to avoid it being written off straight away as a gaming machine (cos ghaming had killed itself a couple fo years before) and back then there was no real term of entertainment system. While now people might say "Oh I bought a an entertainment system, when they say they bought a 5.1 setup and a dvd player etc."
The times have changed.

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. =)

Okay, I just got done replying about the name on another thread just a few minutes ago, so I will simply copy and paste that here:

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.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #49 on:** June 27, 2003, 08:44:41 PM »

Why do we call it Gamecube 2?
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.

I think that the Nintendo Nexus is a great sounding name. One meaning of Nexus is 'the center of attention or focus' which is what Nintendo is in my eyes in the gaming industry.

Other names I like are
Nintendo Mojo (you can guess why)
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'.

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.

In honour of my favourite insane monkey, it should be called:

*drumroll*

THE NINTENDO BARREL-ROLL!

*barrell rolls away*

Does anyone else remember that the N64 was originally called the NU64 (Nintendo ULTRA 64)? I remember talking with my friends about when the NU64 was coming out and what games it was gonna have. But then they got rid of the Ultra

I hope they somehow put Ultra into the next system. I personally like the NUES (Nintendo Ultra Entertainment System) or UNES (Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System).

Or they could shake that "kiddy image" (which they are doing now), they could name it the

Nintendo College Graduate

That'll learn those teenage punks!

It's a simple name that's already been used before, but I've always loved it; I hope they go with Nintendo Famicom. It doesn't seem like a "kiddie" name, but it also doesn't seem like they're trying too hard to come up with a mature name. It also brings a bit of nostalgia back for Nintendo fans.

I don't think famicom will be it. The mystery item theyre revealing at E3 will probably use the name Family Computer. The name of the N5 will probably be something totally new.

I don't think they'll go with Famicom either, but I can always hope! I've been hoping they'd bring back the Famicom name for many years; it's always been my favorite system name.

Famicom = Family Computer

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".

God damn, this thread is old.

Well obviously the only way to combat that would be for Nintendo to add a waffle iron

Hmm, new user but here we go:

Nintendo Gateway
Nintendo Divinity
Nintendo Impulse

Can't really come up with much more than that. Still, you know the name is going to totally kick ass anyways. This system is going to own the next-gen wars, and the name is going to make you go "Damnit! Why didn't I think of that?"

NarmaK · « **Reply #101 on:** December 05, 2003, 09:04:05 PM »

What are you basing your assumption on?

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?
