credit: ign.com Nintendo revealed this morning that the official name of its formerly codenamed Revolution system is Nintendo Wii. The Big N explained the decision behind the name in a statement, which we've provided below: Introducing... Wii. As in "we." While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame 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 the 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 playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames 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. Click here to download the official trailer for Nintendo Wii. Click here for the official website for Wii. Many forum members, including thousands on IGN.com's message boards, have expressed dissatisfaction over the new Wii name. But in an interview with CNN Money, Nintendo of America's vice president of marketing and corporate affairs, Perrin Kaplan, defended the title. "I think people have to look back and let it settle in," Kaplan 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." |

I don't really like the name. Wii just sounds wierd. Like they went to the trademark office and there was nothing left. It doesn't sound that good. | |

Nintendo, do you now see why renaming it "Wii" was a bad idea? |

I can see the commericals and marketing for this. Wii Play Together Wii Have Fun etc......... They'd probably make new ones once in awhile like mastercard commericals. |
