The Next Generation Nintendo Console Codename according to spong is N5. As in Nintendo 5. Makes sense to me.
NES - N1
SNES - N2
N64 - N3
GCN - N4
? - N5

Now the console needs a good look to go with the high techy name. Something like a purple cube will NOT fly. It should look more like a piece of electronics than a toy.

The number theory that some have suggested actually makes a lot of sense, which is why Microsoft should not call their next console the "X-Box2".
"N5" is simple and bit mysterious. I hope they come up with a killer design for the machine, something elegant. Although, Nintendo seems to like gimmicks - I just hope the new console is not in the shape of a number "5" HAHAHA.

Better yet. They ship the new console in five pieces, each sold seperately, that are all required for the machine to even run. Then just to make sure they commit business suicide they ship different amounts of the five pieces so that they have like a million piece 1's and only 100,000 piece 4's.

Hehe, imagine N got inspired by Megatokyo and packs its next console into an "EDS". Now, THAT would get those 12 year olds coming in like lawyers smelling money.

"i mean, com'on ... n5. everyone knows 5 > 3 > 2

Yes, but 2 + 3 = 5
Anyways, I've always wanted the next system to be called Nintendo Nex.
And I find it really funny that all of the fanboys find ways to twist a default N5 name into being an actual title. Just wait for what Nintendo has to deliver. I've almost 99% sure that they WILL NOT name it N5.

I still think it should be NES5 it sounds so... futuristic and high tech... imagine the logo for the NES5 (or n5) anyway if the can't think of a better name N5 is good and it sounds pretty cool
I think that N5 would make more sense than NES5 because the name Nintendo Entertainment System was not used in Japan so they may not know what the term NES stands for. They would, IMO, have an easier time knowing what the N on its own means.

Nintendo Nexus <---------coolest
Nintendo 5 (or N5, or N [to the power of] 5)
Nintendo Megaton
How cool would it be if the next console was called 'Dolphin'?
I loved that name!

64 > 5
Still, cool name. In the past, has Nintendo ever just ended up using the project name for the actual system?

How could you forget the Sega Master System? Though if you want to get technical the Sega CD is an add-on so it doesn't really count as a console. If you count it you have to count the 32X as well.
Post by: Grey Ninja on July 19, 2003, 05:45:33 AM
Never being a Sega person, I didn't really follow the chronology of their system that well. I knew the Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast well, but there were a whole whack of others in there I never found out about until years later.
It would be like asking a Sony person about the Virtual Boy or the Game and Watch I suppose.

Yes yes... I realized that before I even typed that post.
But I still can't figure out the blasted naming convention.

Why does anyone quote the spong? Their idea of evidence is two people from the same company knowing each other...
Beat me to it. In the short stint that i've known of their existence, they've spewed several bits of "news" and rumors. The last memorable one being that Nintendo issued a patent to allow a portable game machine to run code from a console. Yeah, Nintendo calls it connectivity.
N5 sounds good, but i'd rather them continue the Gamecube name, if for nothing else than establishing a brand. "Gamecube" sounds no more kiddy than "Playstation". i remember thinking of Playskool toys when i head the Playstation name first mentioned in a game mag.

i don't see Sega's Mega/Sega naming conventions being any more cryptic than Nintendo's Famicom ("family computer", i know).
US - Sega Genesis, Sega CD
Japan, Europe - Mega Drive, Mega CD
"Mega" may have sounded cooler outside the US, while "Sega" reinforces the brand in the US. Who knows?

Last thing I heard from Spong was that F-Zero GX and AX wouldn't connect together- makes you wonder why they're still around.

Also, it had NO controller ports at ALL. the controllers are WIRELESS! all of em!! and it's 8 PLAYER! and it PLAYS DVD's!! and it has ONLINE CAPABILITIES!!! i heard set release in 2005- 2006 but i've seen 2006 a lot from some sights i saw before this one.
OVERVIEW:
cool shape
online capabilities
grey, not purple
wireless 8 players
plays dvd's
release 2006 ...maybe 2005
should be called N5
maybe N to 5th power or N with 5 below it (like on table of elements thing)
and finally nexus is stupid cause it sounds like "lexus" which is a lame brand of luxery sadan.
nex is dumb cause it's short of "nexus"...dolphin is dumb cause it's been used already so everyones gonna be like "but that was gonna come out 2 years ago it can't be good. "nintendo 5" isn't good cause it's to long and doesn't sound high-tech.
....ha looser you took the time to read this!!??....oh wait....i wrote it....that took longer...oops
