New Generation has posted some nifty Wii art mockups. Since all the dust has settled and for those who didn’t like the name to begin with, what are your thoughts now?

After a crazy week in Revolution naming, it’s still hard to tell what the last Wii secret will be. When asked if a potential 3d space analog controller extension was the last big unveiling, a Nintendo rep said “we have no idea what awaits.” Hype? You bet, but let’s hope it’s a good one. Thanks for voting and let us know what business effect Wii’s name might have...

Before leaving the Orlando airport, I spotted 2 kids and an older woman playing the DS. And no, she’s not the mother of the two boys. In total, there were four people (including myself) playing the DS at the Delta gate. (1) non-gamer(maybe), (2) startups, and (1) gamer. Very cool. I didn’t want to look like a smoe trying to find out, but I believe the lady was playing Animal Crossing. ...

Well folks, only one more week to go until E3. That is until all the Wii, Zelda, and DS goodness are revealed. It should be good times. To kickstart the event, Next-Gen has put together a list of what they expect at this year’s show, in addition to Wii. From the article: “Nintendo is prepping its Wii to be the belle of the ball, with several exciting playable games expected for the sys...

Gamespot has been tipped off by an EB employee about marketing materials EB has received to promote the GameCube, tagged with the line “New Low Price”. No word on what the new price could be, but this is probably a reaction to the PS2’s new price of $129. A GameCube will cost less than a Micro. Weird. [via C3]

A clip of a next-gen Tony Hawk is making the internet rounds today. Featuring a model test, the footage shows obvious next-gen hardware tweaks like improved lighting, modeling, and some impressive animation. I won’t rule this out from being the Wii version, but chances are greater that it is a 360 or PS3 version. [via Revo-Europe]

(I used to call this Revolution Ramblings, but decided to change the name for some reason.) First and foremost, the name of the “Rev” is Wii. Not Nintendo Wii, just Wii. Also from that GI interview: “GI: It’s been rumored that the new big Revolution secret is the fact that the nun chuck controller is also motion detecting”¦ [NOA Public Relations Manager] Matt Atwood: Really...

Chris Kohler over at Game|Life a Wired blog has the most rational take on Nintendo’s new brand. He says, “Of course, I expect the Internet to brim over with toilet humor; that is what the Internet is for. But the Internet is not real life … In short, the fuss over Wii is an Internet Problem, not a Real Life Problem. In real life, the name’s soundalike will pass almost entir...

It’s no secret that the Nintendo Revolution renaming has turned more people off than on. The weird new name- Nintendo Wii- has most recalling their last roller coaster ride. Nintendo seems to love the new branding, but not alot of their fans share that love. Bloggers, big game sites, insiders, and other outlets have also expressed their opinions. The ratio of people who don’t like the ...
