Nintendo should keep the name to just wii. Drop the U name and just advertise it as the new Wii, for you!

I think that will be the likely outcome. I don't mind the Wii brand at all, but there needs to be more than just a one character difference.
Yep, I can see him wincing at some of the compromises and errors they've made. In general NOJ is frustratingly better than NOA in many ways, even with philosophies that my seem strange to westerners.

Iwata was practically a designer and creator on Brain-Age.

Yes! I like that he's willing to wince and change course if necessary. One of his finest moments was when he publicly made amends for the 3DS' weak start.
If we ever do indeed have a second Gaming Crash (and at this point, I see at least a bit of merit to the idea), I'm thankful it's him at the helm to navigate while so many western outfits fail..
Yeah Emily, he clearly works for

Speaking of which, where is NINTEX? Permabanned?
This man says so many good things.. I'm just wowed by his intelligent statements. What a great speech!
And Emily, google Europe and tweet about that

Can anyone explain the decline of Wii's popularity in Japan? Is it anything that is attributable to NCL?
What can Nintendo do to combat the lack of interest in Wii affecting the WiiU? Right now all the changes seem to address Wii's lack of interest in the west...

2006 - Wii Launch Year Unveil

* Wii Sports [Nintendo EAD Kyoto]
* Wii Play [Nintendo EAD Kyoto]
* Wii Music [Nintendo EAD Kyoto]
* Super Mario Galaxy [Nintendo EAD Tokyo]
* WarioWare: Smooth Moves [Nintendo SPD]

* Disaster: Day of Crisis [Monolith Soft]
* ExciteTruck [Monster Games Inc.]

Those were all the unveils. Some launched 2006, some 2007, some canceled, some delayed and not fully localized. The ratio might be very similar bar any Genus Sonority or Intelligent Systems Wii U unveils.

Not sure if you saw this post, but I think it's a very good idea. Thanks Shika!
That's a really high bar to clear. I don't know if they can top it.
Then again, some of those studios have had several years to work on their projects.
So much uncertainty!
I don't get it :|
Anyway, here's hoping we get to see EAD Tokyo's new game.

So many truth bombs in that Iwata speech.
Thanks. That speech was really grounding and I was reminded how great it is to have a game company that still sees the multiple colours of the industry (literally and figuratively

Anyone else agree that having a headphone jack in the controller is one of the most exciting things about Wii U? I want to play late at night, but the god damn fiancé and kids are sleeping, and the second the volume goes above 5 (OUT OF 100), the fiancé comes out: "CAN YOU TURN THAT DOWN?"
I saw a few comments like that, talking about junk food and conferences. You spend actually the whole E3 in front of your pc screen, eating chips, cookies, drinking sodas, without brushing your teeth and washing yourself, for the duration of the show ? Man, you'll take 10 kilos
I'd like to think he'll just eat junkfood and drink during the MS/Sony/Nintendo conferencesI saw a few comments like that, talking about junk food and conferences.

Yeah, this is actually really cool. If everyone else in the house goes to bed, and you wanna stay up and play - boom, no massive glow form the TV (I dunno, this puts some people off sleeping), and no sound at all - just a full console experience on your controller with surround sound. Awesome.
Definitely. Its great since you could hook in a good pair of headphones and still play with quality sound when you would otherwise be unable to. Or even if you want to play something like a horror game with no other sounds bothering you.

Yep, this is huge. It's also great for Teamspeak, as you can use any headphones, the mic is right in front of you, so it's perfect.
Yes. To Hell with Wii Speak! To Hell!

I'm prepping. I've lost 19.2 lbs (8.71 kilos) in the last 6 weeks. I'm hoping to lose the next 10.8 lbs in the next 6 weeks. Maybe I should just start counting in stones.

I have been busy this afternoon so I could not check the board but I understand EmilyRogers is back; I'm looking forward to her rumours, even though I want to stress out that as a rule I take any sell-proclaimed "insiders" with a pinch of salt, she was fun last year and I liked her predictions(although they were mostly wishful thinkings).
Never heard of her, who is she? Does she claim to work for a dev or something?
-Pyromaniac-

she is a nobody
She posts fake rumors, all you need to know really.
Seriously, it's hardcore gamers fashionista's newspaper material (like "Je suis joueur et je prends soin de mon corps" monthly) : "my secret to be ready for E3"
With pre-show diet advises, comparative grid of junk food to eat during E3 depending on the quality/calories/taste ratio, how to loose all the weight gained after, etc.
We have a super concept !

Actually she claimed to go out with some Nintendo executive, to say it so.
She provided a list of games for WiiU, totally made-up of course, but it was fun somehow.

Lol. I converted my spreadsheet. I started at 24.7 stone, currently am 23.3 stone, and have a current goal of 22.6 stone. Past that I have graduated goals leading all the way down to 11.8 stone. Go slow-carb diet.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Rösti;36555487 said:Regarding a potential name change of Wii U, due mainly to the trademark problems they are currently seeing, I saw this:
Source: http://www.harrisinteractive.com/insights/equitrendrankings.aspx
It's from Harris Interactive's annual poll EquiTrend, where Nintendo Wii was crowned Brand of the Year. They issued a press release about it a few days ago: http://www.virtualpressoffice.com/p...omOtherPageToDisableHistory=Y&menuName=Search
We've heard talk about internal interest in wanting to change the name, for various reasons, but with these numbers would it be that smart? Sure, it's not greatly beating Xbox 360, but to introduce something brand new to just let the Wii name sail away to the ocean where Game Boy and Gamecube now reside would more or less be to throw money into the sea. If I were to advice Nintendo something, it would be that they at E3 this year greatly emphasize that Wii U is an entirely new console and not a peripheral to Wii. At first consumers may have a little trouble understanding what it all means but with good marketing Wii U could certainly thrive on store shelves together with its predecessor (well, the controllers and games for it anyway).
Of course could the Wii name be kept but the "U" in it could go. But it's a rather clever name I think. As Reggie said at E3 2011, it could stand for "unifying", "unique" and even "utopian". Not as simple as Wii, pronounced We, but still clever.
Personally, I have no problem with the name Wii U. It's no crazier than Xbox 360 - "So it's a box, with an X on it, and it spins round?"

Wii 2 might be a better name. Maybe Super Wii. Wii U still doesn't sound terribly right. Maybe we're the wrong audience to ask. Personally, I'd hope that Wii U would grow on my like some sort of horrible fungus, but it hasn't yet.

They should drop the Wii name. It is and has always been horrible. The worst console name of all time.

The weird thing about that woman is she was right on a lot of her rumors like Pikmin 3 being moved to Project Cafe.

She also mentioned Rockstar working with Nintendo before other sites did. 01.net later reported it.

Not saying her rumors were real (many were proven false) but she had a decent batting average on rumors.
