My first exposure to Nintendo was later Game&Watch systems, my second was third party Mario Bros., and my third was the fabled NES with Super Mario Bros. I remember having trouble understanding the glory of scrolling in a platformer when my school-mates were describing it to me on the bus.
Interesting. I didn't realize that there were actually two big market crashes in the early days of the video game industry. The one everybody knows about was the transition from generation 2 (led by the Atari 2600) to generation 3 (led by the NES), but the transition from generation 1 to generation 2 also resulted in a crash.
I think these two events are good to bring up if you hear anybody suggesting that gaming is dying. We're in a transition period at the moment, and many folks don't seem to understand that sales going down is pretty normal in this circumstance and, in fact, somtimes far worse.
This is why I make it a point to try to choose my words carefully when talking about this subject. I say "Nintendo just needs to make it through this transitional period" instead of "Nintendo's gotta survive this big, bad crash and then they'll inherit the gaming earty, muahahaha!"
They could have just talked about this version to avoid confusing you.

and just for the lulz I'll repost nibel's mock up:
really is a good starting point. Info available at a glance, as it should be, and it's simple and clean. I don't think it's perfect though, it's a bit off, but it's close.

WiiU renamed to WES?
Judging by the changes to Nintendo's websites, the Wii Entertainment System will have a fresh clean look
About to make the thread. I need a proper source!
seems i caught an update, it's been changed now though . . . :-/

Yes, but the important thing is that you screensaved that shit! Hell yes!
Wait a tick.. is this.. could it be.. ACTUAL NEWS?!
This seems extremely Nintendo to me. It makes you do something quirky with the controller, it'll be chunky and limited in usefulness, and will make hardcore gamers complain.
"Wii Entertainment System" is seems like it'd be even more confusing than Wii U, it just sounds like a formal way of referring to the existing Wii. They'd have to stick purely to the WES branding, and if they do, what's the point of keeping the Wii name... very confusing.
Damnit guys stop posting in this thread so I can catch up, theres nothing to talk about anyway

No one gets confisued with iPhones, iPads, and iPods all having the same names for each iteration...
Wii U is confusing because it is more inline with pheriphal naming than console naming. plus the Wii U logo sucks!

Isn't the 26th the day of Nintendo's briefing?
naw the new ipad is referred to as just that, "the new ipad". But Apple can get away with it because of their masterful marketing. Nintendo would have more trouble for sheezy.You're completely ignoring the fact that they've been numbered up until the recent iPad (unless something's changed with that, I don't follow Apple that closely), barring a few drastic changes to the Shuffle line?
WES? I think it's better than the Wii U but not by much
It sounds too much like Wess, a real name, but then so does NES.

but the marketing and carriers referred to it as the iphone 4 and 4S. Apple also does on their website.The back of my iPhone 4 says iPhone...
i'd rather they call it wii cafe than wii u

I really hate to be the one to ask it (since I don't exactly follow this Wii U thread "community" that seems to be going on, making hype gifs and planning the E3 threads months in advance), but are we absolutely sure this isn't something DefectiveReject just slid in as a joke?

He very well knows that the punishment for doing this is ninjas.
