Nintendo has even started defending it...the minute you start defending your product spells problem which ain' t a good sign...but maybe e3 will give them time to do something.

The logo is really cool.. maybe because you can' t instantly see that it says " Wii" .

Anyway, I hated the name " PlayStation" at first but that didn' t stop it from stealing the entire market from Nintendo and Sega.

I think the comparison with other strange names is kind of stupid.
Gizmondo... the name was too long, the product sucked and the software line up sucked even more! I don' t think that' s a product comparable with REVOLUTION.
Google... it' s a website and not an electronics product. Websites are supposed to have crazy names.
iPod... sounds like a logical name and it' s easy to say. Can' t be compared to " Wii"

I think Wii will be a success in France where it sounds like their word for " yes" .

Rampage I totally agree ...I still don' t get it how they came up with it.


I really hope so gangsta i' ll remind you a year from now.


(oh shit what have I done ..) ..err yeah yeah ..err bring it on bro ...yeah ...

:)

MAjik - take a closer look at this madden logo (red one) - the black borders around it and the red filling - especially that red part ,it' s just a changed color balance to focus on red channel.

Another fishy thing about it is that no trustworthy site has it plus Nintendo made that name with mainstream in mind - and that Logo is to agressive/hard to read I guess.

I' m 95% sure it' s fake

Those blue ones are also pretty cheap - that glowing effect is so easy to make, nintendo never had that poor quality of ads.

I still love it though and would love to see it on my rev.

It' s not cool for gamers , it is a good mainstream marketing move.

Whenever I look at " Wii" it sucks , but somehow when I look at their (nintendo) logo on their site (you know those nice silver/grey letters) it looks appealing somehow.

If that logo is fake I really hope the real one isn' t the one seen in the official " Wii" -video.
I usually admire Nintendo for their bravery and their innovations but right now I think they' re starting to almost copy Apple with similar sleek design, funny product names and so on.

I' m affraid that logo you' ve been talking about is THe logo for " Wi"

please don' t kill me :)

IGN has some fresh interview with NoA on this.

I wonder what all those other names (unused ones) were.

Gamespots " On the Spot" (video) has some hilarious coverage of it too :)

Well, like i said, i could be wrong. But if it IS fake then it' s a very good one.

I want you to bear in mind that i posted those logos less than 30 minutes after the announcement so either someone knew way before hand and put it together in advance or ot' s actually genuine.

The logo is agressive in that image because it' s for an NFL game and it' s red because the EA logo is red.

Even Though I hate it so much, you got to admit, its only a name. It dosent change the system itself at all. Even if it is a peice of piss. Its only a name.

A horrible horrible bad name.

Lol don' t worry i' ll probably let it sink in by then but you will be reminded lol. I was looking at the edges aswell and I thought it might be legit because of the glow effect and the way it sinks in quite well but then again some people are really good at faking it....

that glow is called " diffuse glow " it takes one mouse click to produce

Majik - I' m not saying you' re lying , I just think someone made them - I' m not 100% sure though.

These?







They were sent to me. They are being passed around other porums too and i believe they were online before i got them. Whether they are real or fake, they' re still cool. I' ll send you any more i get instead of posting them here though.

I' d feel a hell of a lot better if they were the real logo because the other one in the video is rubbish!

I read those lines in the article, but it was not nearly as funny as hearing the conversation on video. Wow, that was quite brutal. Love it.
