Doo dee doo... guess I'll step outside from my usual topic and see what else is... huh? What?! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! *faints, rolls down a hill, falls off a cliff, plunges into a raging river, floats down it, and eventually goes over a giant water fall*
"Okay, guys. So we really need to find a good name for this incredible console. One that people will remember... one that people will love... one that we can get in the next 5 minutes before it's too late!!"
"Hey, guess what? My little boy just said his first word today. He said 'Wii'!"
"Nintendo Wii! That... uh... works! Okay, let's go eat lunch. Wheeeeee!"
Alright, I think I've gone far enough there wiith that. Unfortunately I feel like it's impossible for me to ever get used to this name. Yes, the jokes are bad enough but even worse is how people are going to keep asking how to pronounce it. "Wi-ih? Why? Wuh?" I could get used to it eventually, but it may take time. Jokes are definitely one of the best ways to get people interested in stuff. If this is just a huge joke, I salute those guys for a hysterical idea. But I just can't picture a box that says Wii and looks cool no matter what you do with it. I'll get over it though.
On the other hand, it does kind of look like a cool Japanese word and that could get people's attention, which is what you want to do. Hey wait... do you think they chose a word with 2 I's just so they could substitute them for the two controllers? Would a company really go that far with their Cre@t[]v[]ty?
I think that the name Nintendo Boom sounds better. Does anyone agree? Hey now... the Nintendo Bomb! Yeah! Then they really could be the bomb even if they aren't actually "the bomb"! XD Other names... Nintendo Nostalgia. Nintendo Odnetnin. Nintendo Rectangle. Nintendo N-credible. Nintendo N-finite. Nitendo Deezer.
Random fact: I just noticed that Watoad's name has the letters WTD in the same order.
