yeah, it really doesn't affect most sensible gamers, but might turn off some other customers...That logo does look pretty damn cool

. Doesn't look like a guy bending over to me, NES_fanatic

....

I mean, I'm buying one no matter what, obviously

. I need to portablize the damn thing, right?!?

I think nintendo is doing this to see if inmature people can take the name I for one think it's a stupid name but it'll do as it's so much fun to make fun of all of today my friends and I made fun of it!

On second thought the logo looks more like the "Keep on Truckin'" guy.

We should vow to continue calling it the Revolution.

You seem to lack any abstract visual abilities. Mayme it'll look more like him mirrored horizontally...

Looks more like a headless torso in a boxing pose to me.

I was wondering why they changed it to Wii of all things,and i came up with a story about why they did it:
Sony and Microsoft were in trouble.It was obvious the the Nintendo Revalution was going to smash the Ps3 and the 360, so they started scheming together.They snuck into Nintendos headquarters, stole nintendos presedent, and left a robot in his place.With the robot posing as Nintendos presedent, they made the Revalution look like a joke.Luckily, Nintendos employees caught on, changed the name from Wee to Wii,and secretly dispatched all the Ninjendos(Ninjas hired by Nintendo) to find the presedent.The Ninjendos will have to battle the Sonyria(Samuria hired by Sony) and the Microsoilders(Undead soilders hired by Microsoft) to get to the presedent, and we can only hope they resque him before the robot announces that the Rev will only be availlable in pink.
The End

Actually, after thinking about it for a while Wii doesn't sound that bad after all...

Yes, I've finally hit phase three, acceptance. The three phases are 1)Denial. 2)Anger, and 3)Acceptance. All my friends and I have went through these phases when we found out. Now that I've accepted it, I'm plotting nice custom shirts.
