Re: W T F?!!! Nintendo "Wii"?!

Suchhh an old thread~ <3

what do Wii stand for??

but how about the "W"???

It's Wii as in "we". Here's the official statement:

Wii will break down that wall that separates game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games...and each other."

The site goes on to say that Wii should be easy to remember for people around the world, no matter their language, and that it will avoid abbreviation. The "ii" spelling is intended to represent "both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play." It may also be worth noting that "ii" means "good" in Japanese.

When I heard the name Wii for the first time I laughed my ass off. Now I don't care anymore >_> And when you buy a Wii you don't say "Gimme a Wii", you say "Gimme A Nintendo Wii"... Unless you're awfully familiar with the shop assisant/sales clerk.

Re: W T F?!!! Nintendo "Wii"?!

Thank you ibra87 for that official statement ^^

I am realy starting to like the name Wii now when i know what it means.
The name "Wii" is not as bad as i thought, it is simpel to say and easy to spell (good for me )

Re: W T F?!!! Nintendo "Wii"?!

I still don't like the name, but it doesn't bother me as much as it used to *referring to what I said in the first page*. People don't care about the name as long as you're cheaper than the competition.

Re: W T F?!!! Nintendo "Wii"?!

eeeh i can't realy agree with you, how about you buy a console that is called "You bought me and then you suck". It would never be a console with that name but you mabye get what i am saying^^. but i have to abmit you have a point, i rather chose a sheep console that is as good as the more expensiv consoles but with a super bad chose of name.

Re: W T F?!!! Nintendo "Wii"?! (The Wii Thread)

I preordered my Wii (What a weird thing to say ) sometime ago. I really didn`t expect to get mine before the second shipments, at least.


BUT then I got an e-mail yesterday telling that the package is going to be sent to by the end of this week. Most likely I will have my Wii (Still weird to say) by Friday! Simply can`t wait for Zelda TP!!

OK, so I went down to the store 7.30 am, and at 8 am they passed out Wii-tickets which secured you a machine when they opened at 10. The shipment was delayed however, so everyone had to go down later to actually get the Wii, but all is good. I was number 12 in line, and they had 23 machines for sale. So, to the gaming!

I haven't tested out Zelda yet, just playing around with Sports, and so far, it's extremely fun! Very easy and fun controls, the new way of playing is intuitive and, well, fun. I think Nintendo has nailed it with Wii, it's been a while since I had so much fun just fooling around with a game!

Re: W T F?!!! Nintendo "Wii"?! (The Wii Thread)

Just a noob question: the WII games will work only with new controller? They can't be used with a joypad?

There are buttons on the remotes as far as I know, but I don't think you can do stuff as freely with just the buttons.

Argh! Whenever I hear anyone talk about Wii I really start wondering whether I should buy a PS3 or a Wii!
