Wii are not amused

27 04 2006

I was going to gush about how great Tetris DS is again but I’ve had to put my praise on hold to bring you all my opinion on one of the most prevalent issues facing young adults today.

The name of the former “Nintendo Revolution.”

Today, it was announced on the official site as being known as the “Wii” (pronounced “We”, or similarly, “Wee”)

Now, I think I have massive support from the public when I say this is the gayest shit they could’ve ever chosen. The end of the flash animation has marketing spiel so horribly generic and cliché it could’ve been written as a joke. God. I cannot think of a worse named console that has ever existed. The previous contender was the Gizmondo which had a name that was 10 years out of date, but the Wii!? That name will never be cool, and god help anything that ever manages to have a worse name.

This is the kind of thing that could’ve been prevented had someone in the room just had the balls to say “hang on guys… this is a really shit idea!” - (there are quite a large number of situations like that in modern day living, mostly related to new movies.) I both pity and fear the sick minds that are so removed from humanity that this is what they think passes for a decent name.

Jesus christ, my disillusionment with Nintendo is at an all time high, and that’s even with Tetris DS counteracting the horrendous name. By christ, the Revolution sounds so perfect a name by comparison…

I’ll leave it up to you to make your own “I’ll take a Wii”-style jokes.
