Hello Wii Two

Wii2 is absolutely acceptable. So is the Siper Wii ;)

Figured since this isnt the first time nintendo changed the name of a console prior to release.

So, prior they didn't just replace the codenames?

The Ultra 64 became the Nintendo 64. Its codename was Project Reality.

Yup.  And the Gamecube (codenamed: Dolphin) was almost named "Star Cube" at first, which was strongly supported by Hiroshi Yamauchi himself.  Glad that didn't happen.

OT:  I really hope the name does change.  I vote for Wii 2, or even better, Wii HD (confused people be damned!).

It will be a name that has something catchy for the end title of games. Ex Mario Kart WII, Mario brothers WII

WiiNER

Wii Nintendo Entertainment Revolution

I wish they called it the Hale... think of all the catchphrases they could use.

"Oh Hale yea!"
"Raise Hale"

And all the software can be called Storms. Hale...Storms. Pay me.
