Fargo of GameSpy said it best:

" Hey man, let' s go back to my place and play with my Wii."

In japanese iie means no which is something a lot of people are saying to wii bloody hippified name.

I still want to have a Wii under my telly.

I don' t like it.

We need to think of a name we' re all going to use for it ...how about ..Revolution? :)

N5...

Perrin bloody Kaplan has already responded to the backlash, saying...

" I think people have to look back and let it settle in," she said. " I' m sure people felt the same way when Google was named – or the iPod. Napster. Yahoo. There' s a whole host of unusual names that have become a part of everyday conversation and I think they' re viewed now as unique."

" We want people to understand our approach before we get to E3. [Also], it' s really noisy at E3 and I don' t think we would have had the chance to explain how we came to the name."

I HATE Perrin bloody Kaplan!!!

Wanker if they really see college student' s kindagardeners (gosh spelling) and parents including wii in a normal conversation ....imagine a nintendo rep hanging around a play school trying to promote their console ' hey kid you wanna see my wii' ...sounds so pervy...anyhoo i always liked google,ipod,and napster because they sound good.

She' s right , but it' s not like a stupid name - like Xbox for instance, it' s really fuckin lame and it just ruins all that awesome image rev has had lately

Nintendo Japanese.

Nintendo play joke.

Nintendo put Wii Wii in my coke.

this is getting worse ...let' s call Chuck Norris

I hope the press kit reads:

Nintendo Wii(are going out business lol)

I don' t think so ,cause the system itself kicks ass...


I think that such a massive hate all over the net will make them consider it again

Probably not. Nintendo has shown time and time again that they don' t care about what gamers want.

This guy probably just got the news aswell http://www.nearlygood.com/video/cantstoplaughing.aspx

One thing she blatantly overlooks, however, is that while these things had strange names, none of them had possible sexual connotations, or really any connotations at all. How did a name like this get by the PR department? Wouldn' t they have shown the name to test groups? Didn' t they alert them about this? Nintendo and its faithful are never going to live this down, wether the console is successful or not.

That' s because this damn is a retarded pick of those zanybrain Japanese and poor Kaplan has to do damage control overseas.

this is hilarious, has nothing to do with nintendo ... or is it ? lol

Thats exactly what iv' e been saying i' m sure they had a lot of ideas pitched to them to colaborate with the product and wii just sounds nasty lets be honest....can imagine a board room with lots of high class ideas being put forward and iwata going no,no,no...hobo walks in with a stick and cloth on the end and asks ' oi can anyone tell me where i can take a wii' ' iawata shouts ' yes...that' s it I love it get this guy some clothes..wii are gonna win' ' .
