Now that the revolution name for the big N is almost forgotten ... you would've liked it to stay? or the Wii name is the coolest? What do you think today?

   I like Wii better actually. I think it would've been sick if Nintendo named it the N5 but Wii is a better name casual wise because it's short and easy to remember.hellzhitmanFor those of you who don't know, Wii does mean revolution. In ancient Kanji it translates to "Overthrow the Gods". Ancient Kanji, however, is a little used language, and the corellation isn't immediately apparent. Also, keep in mind three facts a) Revolution was already trademarked. b) Revolution would not be immediately apparent to be referring to Nintendo's new system, since it has other meanings. c) It would need a different name in each language, because the term "revolution" is meaningless.

I'm well aware of what Wii means. I guess I can't say I like Wii better though..

Very, very clever Tiago...
"those graphics are what nintendo call a revolution?"alex1889
Revolution obviously referred to the intuitive controller and the new approach to gaming, and not to the graphs side...
If they called it the Revolution then it would definately have to be more powerful and support HD. -supercharged-
I disagree ...
Wii because of the whole Japanese meaning. >_>Moon_of_Majora
In Japannese "ii" means good, but there's no transalation for Wii...
