Considering Nintendo has said they want to change the name (obstensibly to avoid brand confusion), what do you think should the Wii U's new name be?

Here are some of my suggestions:

a) Wii 2

b) Wii HD

c) Wii+

d) Nintendo 6 (N6)

e) Nintendo HD

f) Nintendo HDS

g) Super Wii

h) Powerful Entertainment Nintendo Internet System

i) Stream

j) Cafe

k) Nintendo RS (Revolution System)

l) Nintendo Revolution

m) Nintendo Dolphin

n) Game^3

o) Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System

p) Nintendo

I'd prefer if it was something quirky and unexpected, like Wii.

The Nintendo Tablet. If you look at the controller it kind of fit right? :?

I like thisone. Would make sense and pay tribute of sorts to the N64. But I have a feeling it will turn out more like "Wii HD". Option h) sounds suspicuously like those Chinese clone consoles btw :P

I said Ultra NES in the Other thread.

Going in line with the Super NES and using the name the N64 was originally going to be called which was Ultra 64.

Shouldn't it be Powerful Entertainment Nintendo Internet System that acronym to work.

Edit* you just changed it because when I posted it Entertainment and Internet were switched.

I do like the names that are a bit of a throwback. Though so far nothing has a real nice ring to it, outside plain Nintendo.

If they really wanted they could count the Virtual boy or the old color tv system and call the WIi U, Nintendo 7. I mean Windows 7 isn't really 7 either so why not.

Lol I made this same exact topic on the Wii forum, except with different title and my post has a link but no guesses at what the name would be.

I think "Nintendo TV" :P

[spoiler] Nah, I actually think "Nintendo Real HD Entertainment System" So in other words... "NRHDES" lol I cant even take myself serious (though I am being serious). If not that, then just plan "Nintendo" [/spoiler]

I like Super Wii.

The Nintendo sounds good too.

And Nintendo 6 (N6) doesn't sound bad either.

However, i have the feeling they will keep WiiU.

'Project Café' or 'N9' would be pretty cool...or a mixture...the 'N-Cafe' maybe? Anything would be better than the 'Nintendo Revolution' though. That is so old, geeky, and yucky sounding; Like a bunch of overhyped 90's era nerds trying to name their jointly-built super computer something to make it appear more specal than it really is..

All I know is that they really need to make it obvious it's a new console to the less gaming inclined. Call it something like Wii 2 or a new name entirely

I think Nintendo should call it NinTab, Wii Tab (or better yet, UTab), because of the Tablet controller.

The Nintendo Wii - U.N.I. (Pronounced "You 'n I").

- Universal entertainment system (plays 'casual' and 'hardcore' games, Blu-Ray movie support, Netflix/hulu, etc.)
- Unite players through Nintendo Network, an online infrastructure that suprasses PSN/XBL in every way
- Next Zelda has a unicorn

Nothing cheesy like a play on words to make it sound like something else, like "Wii = we" Very annoying title imo.

WiiTwo? Sounds like 'me too', but the new name would symbolize the focus on casual gaming on how people want to play 'too'.
