Was "Wii" a good name change from "Revolution?"

I'm not so sure now

Heh.

The console hasn't changed, just the name. Changing names doesn't change how good something is, just look at Chris Jackson or Oliver Saint-Jean...

Actually, don't...those two are bad examples...

Lew Alcindor :wink:
He actually got better imo

It's just the name, but I admit revolution sounds much better. I bet it's cuz the japs can't pronounce revolution that they changed the name. (They'd pronounce it re-vo-ru-shon or something)
I suggest we abbreviate the system N.W.A. = Nintendo Wii America.

Just imagine the ads something like this...

wow I just reread the last thing I wrote... it's pretty bad :lol: she's still like 16 or 17 or something...
but hey, sex sells I guess... I mean, with (at least in the U.S.) we got people like Lindsey Lohan, Ashlee Simpson, and Hillary Duff, (all who I find incredibly UNattractive and untalented) all who can't sing even if their 90-pound lives depended on it, continuing to sell records.

The controller is going to be awesome though. Like, you can make a throwing motion for the pass in madden, the harder you throw the further the pass etc...

LMAO it's a good thing the controller will still function normally or nerds would lose the only thing they can beat other humans in :lol:
