Post by: douglas on April 27, 2006, 06:02:59 pm: Depends on the games. I'll likely still call it the Rev though.

Post by: PsyBorg on April 27, 2006, 06:26:38 pm: I've gotta take a wii.

And that goes for both meanings too.

Post by: magnum12 on April 27, 2006, 08:26:22 pm: You bet I'll be buying it, although the most likely time will be the holidays. I think the same sounds weird though. Would have prefered Revolution though.

Post by: Groudon on April 28, 2006, 01:43:58 pm: I'll get it, but I am not calling it the Wii.

(starts example)

Cop: So, what were you stealing?
Robber: I was taking a Wii.

(ends example)

I am still calling it the Revolution.

Post by: eggFL on April 29, 2006, 09:55:43 am: I remember hearing that Revolution was going to be called something else. Not Wii. This was before the Wii announcement but long after Revolution was revealed. Anyway I don't care what it's called. I wouldn't call it Revolution, though, probably just say 'Nintendo' if Wii really is that bad. Or pretend to not know how to pronounce it and just call it 'why'. Both good ideas. 8|

aanyway, someone told a joke once that as a doctor they would get big bucks treating Wii owners for carpal tunnel syndrome. I have to agree. I still think the controller is uncomfortable and definitely unpractical. So normally I wouldn't intend on getting Wii. Thing is, I gotta follow the franchises I'm hooked to, like Star Fox and maybe F-Zero. If the Sonic game coming out for it isn't a shallow novelty spinoff, I'd have to get it eventually.

Post by: Marth on April 29, 2006, 05:27:20 pm: I plan to get the Revolution (probably a bit late, as usual),
but as you've probably guessed, I'm still calling it Revolution,
and I'll keep calling it that until Nintendo changes the name again. (if they do)
Only Revolution will get F-Zero, Zelda, and Metroid (and more than just that, of course),
and I've only been getting Nintendo systems anyway.

Nintendo will probably do well, but they still could make their reputation worse
(of being a kiddy toy company that makes simple, stupid, kiddish garbage games
and releases systems with bad graphics and doesn't get any 3rd-party games).
I doubt that they'll kill themselves with this system, even if it's bad
(and the name doesn't really matter).
Like some people have said, Nintendo has gotten everyone talking about the new system.
Although it's kind of in a negative way, this could work out well,
especially if Nintendo suddenly changes the name to something sensible.

<NintendoGuy>hay i gots-a grate' idea were, gonna change teh name to...
"Revolvolooshun" or whutever teh name is;

Post by: CosmicFalcon on April 30, 2006, 05:02:30 am: I bet there were a ton of people who were like "GameCube wtf. I am going to still call it the Dolphin!"

You never hear from them now, though, do you? And why is that? No, it is not because they stopped being downright dumb and started calling it by its actual name. It's because Nintendo HUNTED them down and KILLED them and USED THEIR BRAINPARTS to make Wii.
Title: Re: Will you buy the Wii?
Post by: douglas on April 30, 2006, 06:59:13 am: Yeah, but . . . GameCube wasn't as outright moronic as Wii.
Title: Re: Will you buy the Wii?
Post by: Rolken on May 03, 2006, 12:52:06 pm: Revolution isn't much better, though; it's about on par with Nintendo Extreme.
Title: Re: Will you buy the Wii?
Post by: eggFL on May 04, 2006, 02:48:34 pm: lmao

naw man. Revolution is a /little bit/ better, than Extreme.

But you know what, Extreme isn't much worse than naming a system '360'. >_>

Wait, What did I say wrong? *shot*
Title: Re: Will you buy the Wii?
Post by: Wavedash on May 07, 2006, 12:31:36 pm: I love Nintendo, and I'm still getting a Wii, but...that has to be one of the dumbest console names so far, in my opinion. I'm not gonna be one of those guys that calls it by it's codename, though. In the end, even with it's official name, it's not like that'll affect the games being released for it.

Red Steel. <3
