I still think wii 2 would have sounded better just my opinion though

Droid Control5402d ago

Wii and Wii U are incredibly stupid names for a console. Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves.

What happened to the Revolution?

caseh5402d ago

I quite liked Revolution as a name as well.

They could have gone with the naming convention of Japanese cars like the Honda Civic - Nintendo Type-R :D

ChickeyCantor5402d ago

Because Wii is easy to say all over the world.
Revolution isn't.

They shouldn't be ashamed, it's a marketing trick.

mike1up5402d ago

That explained a lot... lol
I hated the Wii name at first, and now its totally grown on me. At this point, i just want some of those killer games that never looked in the Wii's direction, i dont care if theyre a few years old. I can get over a bad name, a lot easier than getting over no 3rd titles.

jacksonmichael5401d ago

I totally agree, although the Wii name has yet to grow on me. I call it the Us.

charmer5402d ago

what nintendo need to focus on is cutting support for the wii in a big way when wiiu comes out so people are not confused.....but show games that takes advantage of the wiiu controller and its a done deal

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi76d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer77d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot77d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno77d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay77d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno76d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK76d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
