I know it's in the gaming forum but this had to be brought to screenshots due to the retarded level of the topic.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Nintendo Co. Ltd. has given the name "Wii" to its new video game console that up until now has been known by its code-name "Revolution," the company said on Thursday.

The name of the new gaming machine is pronounced "we" and emphasizes that the console is for everyone, Nintendo said.

First the controller, now this? Not that I intended on ever stepping foot near their new console, but god damn, what is wrong with them?

Ghalond · 04-27-2006, 11:08 AM

i actually was planning on buying the system, just to be able to play all the old NES games.....

Let's not.

God fucking Nintendo is retarded. Seriously... every last thing about this new system is pure fucking homo. The way it looks, that fuckin gay dildo controller the no HDTV support. Fuckin Nintendo are just trying to kill themselves out of the console market and I can’t figure out why.

Most children, who Nintendo's games and systems are targetted towards, (I don't give a fuck what you say, you know this shit is true), and the parents who will be buying this for their children really don't give a fuck about HDTV and whether or not Wii can support it.

The system itself just looks like a verticle variation on the PS2 with different coloring. Nothing too 'gay' looking there. CDs > Cartridges any day the damn week in my book.

And yes, the controller is weird, but everyone said the same damn thing about the N64 one when it came out, (and yeah, it still is a dumbass looking contraption), but people got used to it, as they will again.

And yet I will still be buying one if they are < $120

Actualy they probably allready won, DS style. Wii is still a silly name. Note: It sounds like We in english, but it also sounds like Oui (Yes) in french...

EDIT: It's somewhat amusing to say things like "Wii does not care about HDTV" though...

Bull fucking shit, It is gay and retarded and it WILL bomb. This aint the same market it was 5 years ago, people now know what HDTV is and more and more people have them.

Hell the only way this system could possibly do ok is if it really does only end up costing less than 120 bucks.

Sorry I'll take xbox360 over something as gay as Wii any day. Brittney is right, the system screams homo.

When it comes down to it, Nintendo systems always have a lack of violent games with blood.

If the choose of which to buy for their child comes up for a parent, and they do any research on it they will pick the Nintendo system, just because it handles the censoring of violent games for them. As long as Nintendo can keep the lock on this market they'll be able to stay afloat.

And don't forget the asian market. Thos people just eat up the goofy shit nintendo comes up with.
