Here it is. The beem name being used in a mockup is kind of strange. Rumors have pointed at it looking like an SNES though no?

That might be the ugliest console mockup ever.

The name would make a lot of sense when you think about the streaming technology aspect. The console beams the game into your controller giving you more flexible game and multimedia experience.

I like it!

If Coolio's right, he deserves a medal!

If Coolio is right I expect him to suddenly stop posting any time now.

That is meh looking, although I agree that I've it has similarities with a SNES and not a NES, dunno what the mockup artist was thinking.

THIS CAN'T BE VITA

 

[J-Rock]

I decided to look at every single registered domain that started with "nintendo". After five minutes of extensive research, I can say with almost 100% certainty that Nintendo's console will be called the Beem.

Just look at the evidence:

NINTENDOBEEM.COM
- Registered on May 24, 2011 through the same company that registered NINTENDOWII.COM and NINTENDO3DS.COM. This was registered nearly a year before any of the next-gen speculation began.

NINTENDOBEEEM.COM
NINTENDOBEAM.COM
- Registered on May 28, 2011 through two differed registrars. This obviously isn't just a coincidence.

NINTENDOBEEMSTORE.COM
NINTENDOBEEMSHOP.COM
NINTENDOBEEMGAMES.COM
- All registered on June 1, 2011.

Also, the domain BEEM.COM was apparently purchased on January 31 for $136,000. Nobody's going to drop that kind of money on a domain name unless they have a vested interest in the name.

When you look at the evidence, Beem is the only name tha really seems to make sense.

And we take our next turn. Well done!

"BEEM". Hmmm, that could work.

Really? I hope it looks like that. Awesome.

Maybe Im being nostalgic but damn.

 

[Man]

BEEM me up Scotty

So the beam is going to be a VCR?

Anyways, interesting name, kinda makes sense. I like that it's one syllable.

 

[kittens]

I actually like the name Beem! Way better than Cafe or Current

Spoiler

or Vita.

 

[Guevara]

.

detective-gaf in effect.

 

[WillyFive]

Well, it's kinda boring for a Nintendo design, but it's not ugly.

 

[MYE]

IS THIS VERUS VITA?

Fixed

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Bloody brilliant detective work Coolio McAwesome! Will be all over the interenet in a matter of moments.

When the hell did these appear?

Edit: I don't even know how I posted in this thread. I think I've been abducted. :S

 

[Somnid]

Interesting but I kinda doubt they have a final name yet.

 

[dallow_bg]

Terrible name, wow.

 

[Jeels]

I don't like the name at all. Way too cheesy.

I liked the Wii name.

 

[BertramCooper]

Very nice sleuthing, Mr. McAwesome.

If that's the name, I'm totally cool with it. It's kind of clever, actually.

 

[venne]

Airplay was apparently taken.

 

[Chiggs]

Bloody brilliant detective work! Will be all over the interenet in a matter of moments.

It has been over the internet since early May. IGN was the first, lol.

 

[[Nintex]]

Remember StarCube?

Maybe they're trying to throw us of! but the $136k for a domain suggests otherwise.

 

[SmithnCo]

If this is the real name I hope they use a logo like this, it justifies the use of two Es.

 

[farnham]

hmm

 

[Krowley]

Seaching nintendo beem, I found this article from the wii2 blog...

Apparently, when someone checked the site for the first time, they found the image below, which was later removed

 

[chubigans]

Indeed.

 

[Kaako]

Dat laser technology: confirmed.

 

[DR3AM]

beem sounds good on my ears. vita, not so much

 

[AceBandage]

Beem me up, Nintendo!

 

[Chiggs]

Indeed.

GAF missed the boat.

 

[Cow Mengde]

How many Beem jokes can we come up with before E3?

 

[miserable]

BEEM ME UP SCOTTY


Edit: Beaten of course

 

[Totobeni]

First Vita and now Beem


Can't Sony and Nintendo just hire SEGA to give kickass names to their systems.

 

[Jinfash]

THIS CAN'T BE VITA

I hated VITA when it was first leaked, then I thought maybe I'm just not too open to change. Turns out I was just not open to terrible names.

That better not be the final logo. Awful.

 

[snesfreak]

Beem?
Ok, cool.
Also that mockup doesn't look snessy enough.

 

[J-Rock]

Cafe
Stream
Current
Beem

These rumors are FUCKING WITH MY MIND. I don't know how much more I can take.

hmm[/QUOTE]First thing I thought of too.

 

[Buckethead]

Please don't be called Beem.
You can't have a console for the hardcores called "Beem".

Wii was a good title given the concept.

This... no. Just, no.

 

[Exuro]

That logo is kind of cool. Same character just positioned differently. I don't like the name itself though. I like Curent but apparently people are referring to piss jokes with that? I think of an electrical current.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Beem?????

Ohhhhh boy...

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Can't it be "Beam"? What is this, misspelling for the sake of misspelling SMH

 

[Y2Kev]

I hated VITA when it was first leaked, then I thought maybe I'm just not open to change. Now it turns out I'm just not open to terrible names.

I can't beemlieve you are whining about a great name like Vita.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

I REALLY like the name "BEEM"

Like...yeah. Good on Nintendo.

...and I dig the logo too. Pretty clever.

[-PXG-]

Yes.

Hey look, a mockup that doesn't look awful. In fact, I love it. Too bad Cafe/Beem won't look like this

 

[Ashodin]

I hope it's just for the internet service. BEEM sounds really... childish looking.

Current would've been wicked as a name though.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Body is at maximum level of readiness.

Beem rolls off the tongue nicely. I'm surprised nobody looked up domain names before, that's often where things pop up first.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

This will be sooo cool!!


Imagine the awesome laser sounds during start up!
