Think about it. I like the name "Revolution", but I think Virtual Nintendo would successfully conjure mental images of the SNES and NES, but emphasize what sets it apart from those, and other systems on the market today. Win-Win.

What do y'all think?

I think this is a horrible thread about a horrible name for a console.

 

[masud]

The VNES? I can fuck with that.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

This is what Nintendo needs

 

[bitwise]

VNES. hmm.

 

[BlueTsunami]

VNES. hmm.

Now that sounds like a Venereal disease. I would just stick with VirtualNES

 

[Wario64]

you gotta be kidding me. nintendo would never want to associate itself with a failed "portable"

Well duh. It's 11:30 on a Saturday night...I didn't think anyone would actually read this, let alone reply. But hey, thanks for doing both!

Makes me think of Virtual Boy, so no.

If they don't call it Revolution, they should just call it Nintendo Entertainment System again.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i'm all for it if it means calling the new Gameboy the Portable NES, or PNES.

 

[Suikoguy]

Nintendo Evolutions would be far better then VNES

 

[..pakbeka..]

unimpressive, most unimpressive

 

[BlueTsunami]

PNES.

:lol

 

[DrGAKMAN]

I posted The NES V (meaning the fifth console) in another thread and suggested it could even be called the V-NES.

Virtual NES is the worst name you could think of.

#1: It associates the Rev with the Virtual Boy

#2: It emphasizes the Virtual Console aspect as the main part of the system.

Virtual Boy is the reason my left eye is near sited.

#2: It emphasizes the Virtual Console aspect as the main part of the system.

Yes. The Virtual aspect should be marketed as a bonus, I agree.

It should NOT be marketed as the main part of the console, which is suggested by it being the prefix to the NES name. That makes it sound like it's sole purpose is as an emulation machine.

Sounds like VD which makes many older gamerd want to go wash real good.

Well, that's part of it, yes. But I was thinking that it'd also draw attention to what, until now, is the closest we've had to a true virtual-reality console. It's the realization of all those old Power-Glove concepts that couldn't work back in the day, and I think Nintendo would be well-served if they could emphasize that fact in the title.
