Don't you realize that it's a negative connotation? Remember when the Wii was coming out and people were calling it the GameCube 2 or GameCube 1.5?

It has absolutely nothing to do with the Wii other than being able to play Wii games as part of its backward compatibility (supposedly). Why don't people stop and think before posting it?

No, it is currently Project Cafe, just like the Wii was the Nintendo Revolution. Go by what Nintendo calls it, and not what some dumbass on the internet calls it.

Isn't that what you're doing just because they aren't calling it what you want to call it though? Not saying you're a dumbass, but you're some guy on the internet telling people to call it what you want, get off your pedestal :P

People can call it whatever they want, a project name doesn't mean jack anyways :P

as long as people understand what you're referring to, what does it matter what they call it? besides, project cafe is just a codename, which means it definitely will not be called that.

We do that because there isn't an offical name for this new Nintendo system and since it's the sequel to the Wii we call it "Wii 2".

It's funny how your mad atwhat people call nintendo's next console. There isn't a definite name ( as said before) so why not call ki whatever you want?

Besides, to be honest, project cafe is quite a mouthful. Also, Wii 2 sounds great , makes me think of wii=we,(as in us gamers), and 2, as in too. :)

The GameCube was never referred to as the N64-2, and the N64 was never referred to as the SNES-2.

Wii 2 isn't a name for anything other than some dumbass who doesn't understand naming convention. You can go ahead andsupport it, but I am not stupid. Project Cafe is the codename for the system, and until it is officially unveiled, it will be referred to as such because that is what Nintendo has currently named it.

It's literally not a big deal at all, the console isn't even named yet other than the project name which is stupid, go outside and get some fresh air, it'll help, its not worth getting all riled up about.

Are you implying that calling it Wii 2 makes you stupid? How so?

People arefreeto call it Wii 2,it doesn't make them stupid. I could call you a troll, that wouldn't make me stupid either, even if that wasn't your name.

I'm excited for the Wii 2. I think that in addition to the Wii 2's increased hardware power, the Wii 2 has a lot of potential for some good games. If Wii 2 has as many games that appealed to me as the Wii, I think Wii 2 will be my favorite console of all time. Way to go Nintendo, Wii 2 is going to be fantastic! Wii 2, Wii 2, Wii 2, Wii 2.

Wii 2.

I'm entirely just joking please don't moderate me :P

I don't know why you're getting all angry about this, it's just a little name for it untill we get the announcment if its true name.

It's being called a Wii 2 because it's a sequel to the Wii. People only called the Wii 'Gamecube 1.5' to make fun of its lack of power and HD capabilities. No one is using 'Wii 2' as a dig. To suggest that is ridiculous.

People call it Wii 2 because it's the successor to Wii. What's so negative about it? Once the system has a name we'll call it by that.

In all fairness, it has a better chance of being called 'wii2' than 'project cafe' when it's released. It will most likely be neither, but who cares TC. Wow your hostility over this trivial matter is astounding :P

Because it's an easy placeholder for a system with no name? I get fired up about some pretty stupid stuff, but dang. Also, Project Café is not a confirmed project name... so we don't even know a PROJECT name, for sure. It's just the easiest way to communicate that you're talking about the successor of the Wii without saying "the Wii's successor" or "Nintendo's next console." No one is in any way suggesting anything negative by calling it that, and even if they were you'd still need to cool off a bit.

It is not called Project Cafe officially, it is just a rumor name. Wii 2 sounds way better than that name.

It's probably a good thing that Project Cafe isn't a cool name. When Nintendo finally released the title of the Wii, a lot of people had wanted it to remain the Revolution. A less than stellar codename for this one will help with the transition of whatever the title will finally be in the end.

Yeah, I was never crazy about the Revolution as a final title, but it seemed like a lot of people had their hearts set upon it. As long as this is a well made console with good games, I'm a happy gamer.

I prefer Super Wii to Wii 2. Putting a number at the end of a succesor product is just lazy. Although you don't have to go all out like Sega and call it things like Master System, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast. Still for now as we don't have an official name Wii 2 is good enough. It's always possible Wii will be in the name as it's the first truly sucsessful Nintendo console in a while, besides the Nintendo Entertainment System became the Super Nintendo Entertainment System so who knows. Anything is better than WiiHD though, as it implies increasing the resolution is the most important thing a system can do.

GS forumers are creaters of habit. You'll notice that they have been calling the Wii Successor the "Wii 2" even before the project name of Cafe was announced. And now, even though it has been announced, they dont feel like calling it what Nintendo is calling it.

it hasn't been announced, nintendo isn't calling it that. just like microsoft isn't calling their new system "Xbox 720", which is by far the stupidest name ever.

This is a petty thing to get all up in arms over. It's a simple name that references the Wii successor. It's nothing more than that. We don't actually think it will have "Wii" in the name, though it be a possibility, we're not referencing that possibility.

Project Cafe almost makes me think they are going to focus on local multiplayer aspects a lot more... people go to a cafe to enjoy time with each other and all. Just like the "revolution" changed gaming from a couch sport (though many of us, me included, didn't want to leave the couch) hopefully the Cafe lets me play local multiplayer without all being on the same crowded screen like I have had to since the NES... (thus why there might be screens in every controller)

I actually call it Cafe now but before that I used to say Wii 2 as that is easier to say than "Wii's successor".

PS4, X720 etc.

Sure N6 is cool too. There's really no science behind this, you're just being nitpicky.

Clarification. When somebody says Wii 2 they mean the successor to Wii. That's all you need to know. It's what you mean that matters, not what you actually say. Sorry if it's hard for you to understand.
