or somebody fucked up & tried to take it down before anyone(gaf) notices.
So, if it's not photoshopped, has anyone considered that it was just a placeholder that meant "Wii game information here" and not "WII U INFORMATION TOTALLY SCHEDULED HERE WITH NEW NAAAAAME"?
I like this "Super Wii" idea everyone has.
For whom? They dropped the "Nintendo" brand from Wii for a reason. They're calling its successor "Wii U" (if they can get trademark issues worked out) for a reason. Wii was its own brand, separate and distinct from "Nintendo", from the beginning.
In chrome, you can right click and then "inspect element." that brings up the source code, and whatever changes you make there automatically show up in the browser.
I can guarantee you now 6000% its not a product of Photoshop . . . . It is 100% a screenshot taken running Chrome on my iMac . . .
Yeeeaaaahhh.
Do not assume conspiracy when incompetence is just as logical an explanation.
Companies fuck up all the time, but there's no logical reason why they would be be talking about the Wii U here, why they would announce a name change now, why they would put it on a schedule if they were going to take it down, and why the person who puts the schedule on the website would have that information.
Even if this weren't fake, I have no idea how "Wii Entertainment System" would solve Nintendo's naming situation. If anything, it might make things worse. For all intents and purposes, the Wii itself can already be referred to as a "Wii Entertainment System". At least "Wii U" has something to differentiate it.

Anyone can legitly screen cap this:
Right click item
Inspect Element
Double click element
Type "This is bullshit"
Print Screen
They should just call it Nintendo 2.
What entertainment?
Actually, I'm kinda pissed the Wii's getting games this year, because these sorts of comments just fall kinda flat now :-/
/wrists
Why would Nintendo ever do something like this in Japan?
What relevance does "Nintendo Entertainment System" have to Japanese consumers?
c'mon
Wii Tu FTW
MOTHER 4 w/ main protagonist named WESS confirmed!
Jokes aside, Wii has Hulu and Netflix now and is the lead in motion gaming, so I can understand it being a system for "entertainment".

Having teased themselves with the prospect of actually seeing fresh Wii U news almost a year after the console's first reveal, the Wii U speculation thread kicks back to watch an eight year old press conference, tired from the exciting day.
Anything as long as they drop the absurd Wii U. A Neo NES would be nice.
GENIUS!
If by chance DefectiveReject is wrong, can he be banned? I.e. if on April 26th, Wii U isn't renamed to WES, can he be banned?
Why would they change the Wii icon to the WiiWare icon (those who photoshopped)?
Reposting here what I said in the Wii U thread:
