But I am a wiitard and english is not my first language, so probably my opinion is not that relevant ...

drohne said:i'm sure it's been said before, but any name that needs an escort of apologies and explanations is a failure -- noa knows very well that "wii" stinks. corporations have announced massive layoffs without spinning them so hard. celebrity couples have named their children less ridiculously. it's extraordinary.
Hero said:Yeah, I mean the DS is a perfect example of this. Oh wait, the DS is the best selling handheld. Guess that destroys your logic.
Kastrioti said:It may take awhile but I think gamers are going to get used to making fun of the name.
RaidenZR said:God. You people need something more important in your lives than hoping and praying that one day Nintendo will cater to YOU personally.

Do you like the name?SolidSnakex said:Who precisely are they catering to with this? And don't say that iPod crowd because this name isn't in the same ballpark as that.

Shaheed79 said:I wonder if NCL realizes that they have chosen a name that in English effectively means "small penis" as a pun. Or is that the pun in itself?
Apparently you can't love Nintendo without hating them first. It's just how they roll.
Hipster friendly? Oh man, do you honestly think any of those image conscious hipsters will ever be able to roll over their tongues someting like "Hey let's go to my place and play with my wee!" to his male friends at a cofee shop, and not bee laughed at forever? I don't know what would be more awkward if said friends would be straight or homosexualsp0rsk said:The thing about tihs name and its cute little misspelling is that it probably appeals to the coffee shop going mac user out there. I dont really give a shit what its called to be honest. And this is so obviously the creation of an american and not a japanese. It seems nintendo is really looking at apple pretty hard in terms of what they wanna do with this machine.
I cant say i dont blame them, and i understand why they changed the name to the more uh "hipster friendly" wii. anyway...
