Meshugger Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I haven't stopped laughing since the initial post, this has to be funniest name for a console yet. Just saying it out loud makes laugh: "WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!"

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) I've had to wipe tears out of my eyes twice. C&VG Nintendo takes piss with final Rev name Edited April 27, 2006 by ShadowPaladin V1.0 I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

Llyranor Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Heh. Look at the publicity it's getting. Compare to 'You just added a freaking 360 to your bloody console name, idiots' (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 There's good publicity and there's bad publicity though Laughing at something isn't the same as laughing with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 True. Even if people hate the name you can bet they are thinking about it. Visually it works really well. Yuki and her sister think the little dancing i's are wonderful and that I've got a screw loose for laughing at the name so much. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

J.E. Sawyer Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Man, it's like they liked having the Gamecube called the Kidcube. If they wanted a more masculine name they could have called it the Nintendo Fairy Unicorn Princess. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshugger Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 In seriousness, i have to congratulate Nintendo for breaking away from the "badass though guy"-branding among consoles, they're are more or less taking a wii against the competition. r00fles!

Volourn Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I haven't been a fan of Nintendo for a very long time now... and, this... is one of those reasons why... Revolution was a good, solid name... and, then, the ruin it by taking a wiiiii over the original, better choice. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Llyranor Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I dunno, the name's growing on me. I like it already. It's certainly less bland then Xbox and Playstation, especially how those two seem to be naming subsequent generations.
