[Evilbob]

[LanceSwords]

Codename is better, but we'll slowly move to the official name, whether we like it or not. *shrug*

[iastreb]

i liked Revolution

[MagmarFire]

i liked Revolution

So did many of us, dude. So did many of us. Hey, if we're lucky, then maybe Nintendo will change it back to "Revolution."

[iastreb]

if we are licky, i say that any eime Nintendo delays Twilight princess... but IF we're lucky

[Gamefreak]

Iastreb, not to sound like a jerk, but you really need to work on your grammar.

On the note of the Wii.  It sounds a lot dumber than the Revolution.  The Revolution made it sound like a revolt against traditional gaming.

[iastreb]

i guess is true, but you now... im a bulgarian, and im studying english only for one year. for the Wii thing, Revolution sound like something new, a "revolution" of games... something special

[MagmarFire]

That's what I thought, but "Wii" is just...ugh...!

[Gamefreak]

Oh, sorry then iastreb.  I didn't realize the circumstances.  In that case, your grammar is pretty good.

[Master Goron]

Revolution might be good here, but outside English phonetic regions it doesn't have the same global impact. Unless someone understands english, revolution means nothing, plus in Japanese(if I'm not mistaken) they don't even have the R sound, further complicating things. A benefit is that Wii doesn't actually mean anything, so it gains connotation.

[iastreb]

thats ok Gamefreak. but you must agree Master Goron, that revolution sound better

[MagmarFire]

Yeah. Connotation or not, "Wii" makes Nintendo sound less serious about what it trys to accomplish.

It's fun to scream it outloud though. Nintendo Wii!!!!!!!
