Apr. 28th, 2006 07:56 amIt seems that Nintendo has revealed the name of its new console.
They're calling it the Wii.
No, seriously.
The company claims "the unusual spelling is meant to symbolize both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play."
I'm all for Nintendo and their unorthodox approach to gaming in general; it's brought us lots of advances over the years. But they've stumbled with this one. No, not "stumbled" -- make that "tripped headlong and launched themselves off a cliff where sharp rocks await to smash and batter them".
What the fuck were they THINKING? And what the hell was wrong with "Revolution"?
(I am SO trying to resist making the same "OMIGOD WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" joke that everyone else in the geek sphere has already made. Oh, the hell with it. "Omigod, so there was this gaming company, and they were like 'WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!'")
