The website works fine.

As did I.

Their servers probably overloaded with people wanting to confirm that they actually DID name their console after half a body part. (Get it?

)

That jokes ALREADY getting really old...

What's in a name? A nose by any other name would still smell...

Anyway, I'm more disgusted with the notoriously horrid marketing of Nintendo. People need to be fired. Really. Their consoles are made with high quality (if not without equally high repidity). But "Touching is Good"? "Wii"?

Fired. Now.

Some of you guys are overreating.I mean,not getting the system because of the name?Thats pretty babyish.I am simply going to keep calling it the Rev, and that should be statement enough.What happened to our zillion threads saying how great the Rev was going to be?

You sure? What if it were named stinkweed?

Ok, you know what? I'm not going to worry about it being renamed now. I bet it will be named back to Revolution sooner or later, but if not, then whatever. If it's 'Wii', then i'm going to call it 'Wii'.

We'll all have to call it the Wii, whether we like it or not. I was hoping this was a joke, I guess not. Great name, Nintendo.

But seriously, I'm still buying it, I don't care if people think the name is retarded (even if it is). I will buy it, play it, just maybe not talk about it in public.

Not to flame, but wow you're dumb. Since the Gamecube Nintendo has had the highest profit margin since the original Game Boy. Just because people say Gamecube lost doesn't mean they're rolling in the dough.

*sigh*, the only thing we can hope for is enough negative feedback to make them change the name....See, the main problem is that Nintendo often markets too much for the Japanese market, and not enough for the European or American market. If they would come up with ways that would make their product seem favorable in BOTH markets, they could quite possibly win the next-gen console war. With a name like Wii, while able to catch on and become widespread, it'll definitely get some people (mainly older people) to shy away from the system. Ironic, though, how it's called "Wii" because it supposedly brings non-gamers into videogames, but with that same name, might turn off customers

.

Eh, any decently knowledgeable person on videogames or technology should be able to know what the system is, and choose whether or not to buy it from previous info

Did someone here at benheck make the wii YTMND?
It steals my material that was made before this YTMND.
How can this day piss me off further?
