Nintendo Wii is the final name for Nintendo’s next generation video game console and the larger portion of the gaming world didn’t know what to believe when they first heard the name. The biggest complaints comes form the Americans, of course, as they are feeling a bit uneasy about the thought of walking into a game shop and purchase a console that sounds like wee. But what if we put the consumers aside and instead let the game developers and bransch people speak out about Nintendo’s new name? That is just Gamasutra has done as it has received comments from several game developers and they all pretty much feel the same about the choice of Wii.
No one is happy with Nintendo’s choice and most agree that Revolution was a better alternative, but at the same time none of them believes it will hurt the console’s sales.
“It’s bad enough that the Japanese have a drink called “Sweat,” but at least they don’t try to export it to the English-speaking world with that name. Am I supposed to be happy about having to go down to the game store to purchase the “Nintendo Wee”?”
