Much better commercial than the US

[Kytim89]

I have so many wishes which one is this that is fullfilled?

[Stogi]

Weren't you the one that wanted the Wii U to be called Super Wii?

[nickmitch]

Maybe it was Tendoboy?

[Stogi]

Nope. With some Vudu magic, I found this:

But anyways, that's not the point of this thread. They literally refer to the Wii U as Super Wii in Japan.

With the success and widespread popularity of the Wii in Japan calling it the Super Wii certainly doesn't hurt. Imagine. Imagine all the dedicated Apple fans frothing at the mouths if the next iPhone were to be called the Super iPhone.

Super Wii is what it would have been called if we were still in the 1990s.


I'd be down for "Wii 64" though.

[Lithium]

i kind of like the Japanese commercial, it's classy

[ShyGuy]

Wii U aka Super Wii aka Slim Shady.

[Caterkiller]

Curses! I was hoping Kytim wouldn't see this.

Why not call it the "Super Wii" here?  "Wii U" sounds like some Engrish name that Japanese NCL execs that don't speak English suggested and insisted be used worldwide.  But then they introduce this alternate name that would probably work much better in English and it stays in Japan?

[Adrock]

It's still called Wii U in Japan. Also, Super Wii isn't really better because "Wii" as a homophone of "we" still sounds like unintelligble nonsense. I thought "GamePad" would have been a good name for the console itself. Whatever. The console is Wii U. Learn to live with it.

[Mop it up]

Super Wii is a terrible name, but it's still better than Wii U.

Or... "Wii 69"

If you're into that sorta thing sure. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
