I don't like the name "Wii U." It sounds cheap and thoughtless. I would have been much happier with the name "Wii 2" or even "Wii HD." I just don't get how a console could be named something like that.

Does anyone else think Nintendo picked a lousy name for their newest console?

If you could have named it, what would you have picked?

I don't know. I'm not really that good at naming stuff. I thought the name Wii was stupid enough. If Nintendo hadn't released the turd known as Virtual Boy, I think the name Virtual Nintendo would of been a great name.

Planet names always sounder cool for consoles, well come anyways. The Nintendo Neptune would have been kind of cool. Or even if they actually went with the name; 'Nintendo Dolphin' this time.

I get the idea with the Wii U thing, but I wish they would have at least changed the color scheme to like grey at least instead of white. Something to make it definitive, you know?

Yeah I agree with the planet names, that is except for Uranus.

He said "Uranus." Posted Image Anyway, I would have named Nintendo's next console "Nintendo Wii HD," or "Nintendo Wii 2."

Huh? Why would you name the console after the console's project name?
