Nintendo Revolution gets a "new" name!
"Wii" play together! ..Or"We" play together!? Huh?? Well, I have learned many things about the gaming industry. While the industry as a whole offers its own share of interesting things, its always one solitary company that seems to single-handedly define that chaotic and unpredictable mix that ensnares the gaming world. That company is Nintendo, and with todays announcement, the big"N" has taken things up a notch. Originally known as the Nintendo Revolution, the next-gen system has been shrouded in a storm of mystery. Part of that storm cleared when Nintendo shocked the gaming world with the unveiling of its strange but intriguing controller. Now, with the storm clouds finally settleling before the tornado that is E3, Nintendo has finally introduced the official name of its next-gen system... The Nintendo"Wii!" .....That is pronounced"We." Introducing the"Wii!" At Nintendo's pre-E3 press conference, here is what was officially said... "Introducing... Wii.As in"we."While the code-name"Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?Wii sounds like"we," which emphasizes this console is for everyone.Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.Wii has a distinctive"ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllersand the image of people gathering to play.And Wii, as a name and a console,brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.Because, it's really not about you or me.It's about Wii.And together, Wii will change everything." Now, that the official name of the system codenamed the"Revolution" has finally been revealed, it remains to be seen if people will embrace or villify Nintendo for its name change. Personally, I think that"Revolution" would have made a better name. Similar feelings seem to be echoed by some industry analysts. This quote from Michael Pachter from Wedbush Morgan Securities..."My initial reaction, of course, is that the name is dumb.""However, upon reflection, I thought that the name Game Boy was dumb, REALLY thought that the name Xbox was dumb, and can't even recall my reaction to PlayStation. Let's face it, devices with cool names like Dreamcast and Gizmondo fail, and the lame names seem to do well." The unique Nintendo"Wii" and its unique controller.... Well, this announcement really doesn't come as a surprise to me considering that E3 is just around the corner. We can expect even more surprises as the 2006 Electronics Entertainment Expo nears and as the next-gen console race heats up! ..I can't deny that the name"Wii" is intriguing. We will have to see what happens on May 10th! Chas!
