Uggh what a bad name. I cant imagine kids asking to play with there Wii . And for some reason I cant get Chuck Berry out of my head.

Nintendo'd've been better off naming it the Nii.

I'm still going to call it Revolution.
The controller and 7 in 1 console(Turbografix, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Revolution, Sega Genesis) ideas are nice ideas, and I plan on buying it.
But the name? Oh come on Nintendo!

There are already a bunch of puns going around.
WiiFi.
Knights Who Say Wii.
Wii hate the name.
Wiitarded.
And one joke involving the DS' "touching is good" slogan and "wii wii." I'm not making it.

My hopes for the success of this console just dimmed with this announcement. Wii!??? Stupid name. Revolution was better. I hope they stick with it and drop this nonsense.

Maybe "Wheeee!" would have been a better name?

I think they were smoking a little Wiid when they came up with this name.
The games could be fun, however, and I don't mind the controller as much as some people seem to. If they have good versions of Mario Golf, Mario Party, and Smash Brothers, it will do well. If there's a golf game or sword fighting game where I can swing the controller, it'll do even better. :)
The $2k price for a development kit is extermely nice, also. Hopefully that will encourage more independent developers to come up with some really imaginative games.
