These days if its not 16,24,32+ player then fuck it. It needs to at LEAST be 4 player, or 8.

So, for their retarded name to make sense it should be "Wiiii" or "Wiiiiiiii".

Fucking hell ill still buy it, but im dreading this conversation:

"Yes sir can i help?"
"yes can i have a Wii please?"

Idiot.

Project Dolphin was the codename (much like Revolution) for the GameCube.

my pc plays every nintendo game worth playing... so whats the big deal?

There's something to be said about playing a game on a TV set with a real Nintendo controller.

If they make NES or SNES controllers for the Wii, there is no way I will not be in line at midnight to get that system.

I bought one of them SNES USB adaptors. Console playing on a PC is so much better with a controller.

Actually, most of the time, there really isn't.

"Excuse me, can i help you?"

"Oh right, well, have you tried wii? Its right up your street"

They're going to wind up with a name that noone uses - people will just call it Nintendo. After a while noone will even recognize it. I think that's the biggest reason that it's a bad name.

Full circle.

I never said I'd call it Wii.

I meant that Nintendo (unintentionally) have gone full circle, and we're looking towards the old days of NES ownage again.

Ah, gotcha. It would be ironic for Nintendo if their "REVOLUTION" had that effect. hehe
