Would you buy the Wii?

*shudders*  Nintendo should rethink this. 

If you base the purchase of a new console on a name, then you seriously need to reconsider why you play video games.

I loved the Wii when it was still known as the Revolution, and I still love it now.  Check out the flash at the Nintendo site, it explains why they went with the name.

Lots of extremely popular things had unpopular names when they were first announced.  Everyone remember the iPod?  I still think iPod is a dumb name.  And of course, I'm sure everyone here remembers how hated "Nintendo DS" was.  But it's still the top portable console, and no one bitches about the name anymore.

I didn't like the name at first, but it's grown on me and I see how it fits in with Nintendo's vision.

I seriously doubt you're going to see the wee-wee jokes outside of the internet and outside of your local high school.  Seriously, people are more mature than that.

It's a matter of adjusting to the name.

"Seriously, people are more mature than that."

I don't think so.

>>2 I seriously doubt you're going to see the wee-wee jokes outside of the internet and outside of your local high school.


Only highschool?

I was exchanging Wii-Wii jokes with my professor today.

I will try and get mine of amazon or something, tho, if i have to go into GAME to buy it, i will simply ask for the nintendo. "lets all play our nintendos" we'll say.

Because you seriously said "let's play gamecube"?
Or "nintendo 64" ?
I always said "let's play nintendo".

Nintendo went down the shitter after the SNES (N64 was alright but lacked variety). Think about it, The gamecube had shit like pikmin, and the amazingly unfun Mario sunshine, it was only a matter of time untill the disease spread. I blame Mayamato for this outbreak of wiitardism.

No, I won't buy one.

I think it is Wii-tastic!

Miyamoto is pretty damn awesome, don't blame him.  And Pikmin 2 is an amazing game, though I didn't like the first one.  Overall, I'd say the Cube was a pretty good system; it had a small library, but one with some absolutely amazing games.

PS3 winnar!!1

Wii is urine.  :(

Nintendo release another kiddy console

:shock: :horror:

You act as if playing games in general aren't "kiddy".

I only play mature games like GTA and Halo.

People who think nintendo is kiddy are usually children themselves.

Nintendo isn't kiddy, nintendo is classic. And I'm sick of all the Wii topics, it's like chuck norris all over again.

Wii wiill soon join Virtual Boy in the nintendo graveyard... but not because of the name (although it sure as hell won't help)

I will still buy the Wii (*shudders*) but that doesn't mean I won't be ranting 'till the end of time about the crappy name.

They gave the name a LOT of motherfucking thought.

Wii has potential.

The name is half of it, though. The marketing has to be good, or the name will not work, despite the potential.

hjay guys! would you like to play on my Wii??

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Why(Wii) call it Wii(We)?  Just freakin' use Rev if you need three letters.

Yeah the new name isn't the greatest. But you know what? I don't see my grandma playing "the revolution". I don't see my kid sister playing a "revolution".

I can see them playing a "Wii"

It's good to know that they will be playing with your Wii.

I wasn't planning on getting it to begin with, but the new name pretty much removed any uncertainty I may have had.

What's a Nintendo?

God dammit this is old news.  I got over it yesterday an hour after it was announced.

Wii = instant idiot ammunition (like chuck norris and all your base)

As long as it makes idiots feel warm and happy inside at the sight of it, they'll continue to spam it like it's the best thing since sliced bread

Yes, this is better viral marketing than Snakes on a Plane.

E3 will show us the truth!

Yes, all the banners will be crossed out with red paint and have Wii painted next to them.

>>31

At least they didn't crap up the neighborhood with graffiti like Sony.

You anons obviously don't traevl outside of 4chan much.  If you haven't noticed, the Wii is the most hyped console right now.  If it delivers at E3, you can rest assured that Nintendo will be back on top.  Nintendo?  Kiddy?  Go check the line-up of games being developed for the Wii and you'll see that there are a few mature games.  And by mature, I don't mean go fuck a hooker, shoot a nigger, kill some cubans, mature.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking forward to the Wii just because it will be different.  I'm fucking tired of military esque FPS games.  They keep spewing them out.  In fact, there's a new one coming out for the 360 soon.

And Sony is just sequel hell.

IF A GAME DOESN'T HAVE BLOOD SEX AND SWEARING THEN IT'S ONLY A LITTLE KID WILL PLAY IT. (that statement was saractic btw)

Anyway, I'm going to buy the Wii because:
*I don't give a fuck about the name
*Backwards compatiblity :)
*Zelda
*Super Smash Bros
*Cheap :)

I'm going to buy the Wii because I want to play the next banjo kazooie game.

>>37
Rare is now owned by Microsoft. If there will be any new Banjo Kazooie game it will be on the xbox.

>>34

lol whut

>>36

your sarcasm doesn't negate the fact that GREEN BLOOD is fucking retarded

>>39
Yeah, I won't buy the Wii because of green blood. Wait, what are you talking about?

I'm not buying any game console. I have a life.

ME > you

>>41
You're posting on an anonmyous discussion board.

I'd rethink your outlook on your life.

>>38
Um, I was pretty sure Banjo Kazooie was property of Nintendo.  Rare just made the games.

>>37
>>38

As soon as rare was bought by MS it started to suck arse. That I think we can all agree on. This was mainly due to nearly all of their main coders leaving and forming Free Radical, creator of the awesome Timesplitters series.

>>7
I love Pikmin.

What the hell happened to Rare Coin-It?

I'd buy it like the fist of an angry god

I'll buy it because of:
1) Virtual console
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nintendo_Wii_only_games

No. Video games are for virgins.

>>48

There's a game called Sadness?  Reading the description makes it sound freaky.

N64 and GC might be of dubious quality, but what do you think of GBA and DS?

They should name it NV. V for 5th console and V for Victory. They should sack the person who thought of Wiiiiiiii

The N64 is the best console ever! After the Mega Drive that is...

>>52
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Personally, I hate the name, I have barely any faith left in nintendo. I hate the gamecube controller and I'm not the excited about the wii controller.

But it's cheap, backwards compatibility, and the controller will be interesting for a while, and I can tolerate the gamecube controller enough to enjoy games. So I probably will buy a "wii" basically for old games and the price.

>>24 'We' when pronounced in Japan would be Wé, Therefore Wi i - Wii, because in Japanese Kana, thats how it is said.

Just rename it Vii.

I already have a wii, thank you very much.

>>57
but then it might be seen in the same light as vi, which is a horrible evil program

>>59

Only to geeks.  ;)

Nintendo URIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
There NEEDS to be a JoJo game for this system.

>>61

There needs to be Jojo games for every system.

>>62
I'll sign it.

I still want a part 3-esque fighting game with characters from every series. Doesn't have to be every single character in the manga (but that would be awesome).
