A pimp named Nintendo.

They should keep "Revolution" in there, it fits with the current gen's naming similarity with Microsoft. XBox-Gamecube. Cube and Box. Then Next gen, 360-Revolution. Both Circular. But I also think they should emphasize Nintendo. So make it the Nintendo Revolution System, and hopefully most people will just refer to it as NRS

 

[Oblivion]

Seriously, they should keep the Revolution name. I didn't love it at first, but it grew on me.

If Nintendo really feels compelled to change the name for whatever fucking reason (too hard to pronounce for casuals or whatever) then at least call it the N5. It sounds cool and it symbolizes that it's Ninty's 5th system.

But for the love of god, PLEASE don't call it the Nintendo Freestyle. That just sounds stupid.

 

[Yoschi]

"sin"tendo =P


I would stick with Revolution or call it simply Nintendo. Nintendo Freestyle isn't bad either

 

[pitt_norton]

Howdy... opening post here at the GAF!

I hedge my bets on "Nintendo Freestyle" being the final name but if I was President of Nintendo here are my final 3 console names:

1. Nintendo Prime
2. Super Nintendo Sunshine
3. Legend of Nintendo The Wizard Wand

 

[AniHawk]

NINTENDO. EMULATION. SYSTEM.

MAKE IT HAPPEN DAMNIT.

Or Ultra Famicom. That'd be kickass.

Nintendo Freestyle is just about as lame as Xbox360 (BUT NOT QUITE AS LAME).

 

[rsilva13]

NINTENDO. EMULATION. SYSTEM.

damn it i was just about to post that ( was just checking to see if anyone else mentioned it.

someone wanna translate? its about pricing or something.

 

[acidviper]

Nintendo ON

 

[jarrod]

Nobody else likes Nintendo Drive? It could be ND for short.

Or maybe Nintendo GD (GameDrive). Reuse the DS scheme and keep a loose tie to GameCube.

Excite.co.jp have this translation:

"President Satoru Iwata of Nintendo showed the idea of the description of the price of next generation family-use game machines "Revolution" under development (tentative name) on the 27th, "Become a price class different from the game machine of Microsoft of U.S. (MS) and Sony computer entertainment (SCE)", keeping prices down to 39,795 yen or less of "Xbox360" that MS had put on the market this month, and putting it on the market.

Moreover, it was clarified that the number of the domestic total shipment of portable game machine "NINTENDO DS" that had been put on the market last December had exceeded five million. "

So basically, Revolution will be in a new kind of pricing tier (less than $339 / £199 etc), and DS has sold over 5 million in Japan (which we already knew)

MC stands for Motion Control.

Pardon my total ignorance here, but ... a lot of people in the thread are suggesting "Nintendo Freestyle" as the most likely -- do we somehow know that Nintendo is actually considering this name? Just wondering where people were getting it from.

Probably because in the media the Revmote is often referred to as a 'freestyle' controller. In any case, I doubt Nintendo will name a console after just one aspect of the system, after all, as they say, there are more secrets to reveal.

You're on the right track here, they should just name it Nintendo's Cock...the headlines, "Game Enthusiasts Line Up for Nintendo's Cock' are too hard to resist.

[Dice]

I can only think of two good options

First of all, keep the Revolution name. It just screams of ol PIMPHAND and I love that about Nintendo.

Secondly, I am still for the old dream of...

 

[DCharlie]

the .dirtyBox.

 

[tapedeck]

I think Revolution should be the name but heres a few since Im bored...

Nintendo IN-volve
Nintendo Revolve
Nintendo FIVE (N5)
Nintendo Centerpoint
or maybe Nintendo "get your fat hot-pocket eatin ass off your couch and do something"...256

 

[vantastic]

Nintendo Sandwich Maker Deluxe
Gamecube Turbo
Nintendo It's Not About Graphics Entertainment System

 

[Keru_Shiri]

Nintendo Chuck Norris.

Damn right! That or, just sticking with Revolution would be fine. I don't get all the Freestyle love though.

[DrGAKMAN]

Nintendo V.

NV

had a nice ring to it.

Agreed!

NES V (V-NES) V being the 5TH console, Virtual console, reVolution...if you think about it, the wand is a step towards VR moVement too. NES & Nintendo should be extentuated for nostalgia and the company (can't tell you how the GAMECUBE name confused non-gamers: "X-CUBE...GAME-BOX...who makes that?") and the GAMECUBE name should be dropped and left behind.

"NES V"

"The next-generation of gaming is N control"
("Nintendo" is whispered when "N" is said)

 

[CurlySaysX]

Nintendo Magic Wand
Nintendo Fiesta
Nintendo Forte
Nintendogs Canis

[kablooey]

Nintendo Interactive Console Entertainment.

NICE.

 

[Dice]

"Freestyle" reminds me of two things: rapping and skateboarding. Both are overdone, making the word sound like outdated slang (falling into the same realm as "xtreme"). It's definitely not characteristic of Nintendo.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Nintendo Freedom

:lol

Nintendo Revolutionary Interface Platform

What about Nintendo Revolution(ary) Entertainment System? I'd love some kind of return to the "NES" naming

 

[dode]

Please, PLEASE, everyone, STOP your attempts at being funny. NONE of your names are funny.

I said it first, and I'll say it again, "Nintendo" is the way to go.

 

[ejdonk]

still, Nintendoomed.

 

[MrSardonic]

I said it first, and I'll say it again, "Nintendo" is the way to go.

My apologies master, "Nintendode" it is

 

[Jerkface]

Revolution System Interactive (RSI for short)

Carpal Tunnel System

Either of those could come packaged with "Sprain Training"

 

[Wollan]

Nintendo ON
Nintendo 5
Nintendo

are all good options imo.

 

[swander]

NES5

 

[GDGF]

I hope they go with Revolution. Has a nice all cought up in the Nintendo zeitgeist feel to it, but if not, i'd dig the Nintendo Legacy

 

[John Harker]

Nintendo FS
Nintendo FSX (Xtreeeeeeeeeeeeeeme baby)
Nintendo NEX
Nintendo MS (Mario's System)
Nintendo MK (Nintendo Mushroom Kingdom)
Nintendo FUS (Fuck You Sony)
Nintendo MS? (Nintendo Microsoft What?)

and for the win...

Nintendo DS2.

 

[VOOK]

Sex in a Box?

 

[impirius]

blieve

 

[StrikerObi]

If they name it NES it will just be confused with the older one when your'e talking about it. In that case NES2, but that just sounds awful :/

People don't confuse the 5th generation iPod with the 1st generation iPod. They're all just "iPod."

I vote for Nintendo Entertainment System.

 

[MoxManiac]

Gamecube 1.1
