And here is the cryptic message:
Introducing ... Wii.
As in "we."
While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.
Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes this console is for everyone.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.
And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.
Because, it's really not about you or me.
It's about Wii.
And together, Wii will change everything.

Rejoice for the Lord will taketh his quarter and give much back to his followers.

Mr. T"Wii is also what you do when you go to the toilet..."
I kind of like it, I kind of don't...it just feels a bit odd. Nice idea though, I'm sure I'll come to love it

noneWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...LOLOLOLOLOL...that is just about the dopey-est name ever, I'm LMAO...what were they thinking?
Success just got little bit harder to achieve, Nintendo...a shot in the foot, or a wee on it? Either way, its messy...
Honestly, how can anyone ever take Nintendo seriously after this? Instead of a kiddy image they're gonna have a...well, stupid one...
Ok it looks good on paper, but when you're talkin about it, its just gonna be embarrassing...

nathaninitNone of the concept art would have thought it would be that, it's very different to the NES5 that some were expecting but I'm hoping it will grow on me. Right now I'm not saying anything.
When people see all the Rev references on the internet turning to Wii they're gonna wonder what the hell is going on.
