Nintendo Worshippers

Why they changed it to Wii? I'm certain I saw that on G4...can't remember exactly...I think it was purely a ploy to get free advertising. The name makes people go wtf? so they tell other people about it so they can go wtf? and they tell more people, and they all end up looking up the Wii to see wtf is up with it. Bingo bango boom, free advertising.

Well that seems to make sense to me. I mean everytime I have told someone that I plan to buy the Wii there is always a 10 minute converstation on why it is called the wii. Afterwards I'm pretty sure that there is no forgeting that it is called the Wii.

I really hope however that Nintendo starts picking up somemore of the titles that it use to be known for such as resident evil, Final Fantasy, etc. That would be awsome!

Crafty Nintendo.


And revolution was just it's codename, like the GC codename was Project Dolphin.
I don't know why they need codenames, but nintendo have used it to it's advantage by creating a shock out of it.
