Wiiiiiiiiiii

In case you don't know by now, but I'm sure you do, Nintendo's Revolution is now called Wii, but why? Hmmm... Why indeed? First, the trailer for Wii.





And now what Nintendo officially has to say about their name selection.

"Introducing … Wii.
As in “we.”
While the code-name “Revolution” expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.
Wii will put people more in touch with their games … and each other. But you’re probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like “we,” which emphasizes this console is for everyone.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive “ii” spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.
And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that’s Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.
Because, it’s really not about your or me.
It’s about Wii.
And together, Wii will change everything."

It's cute and clever, eh? Yeah. Whatever it's called, Wii, Mee, Youu, it's still going to kick ass.

In celebration, or subtle defamation, of Nintendo's official name for their new console
YTMND.com has some great pages to offer. Here's a couple of my favorites.
