"Super Nintendo" was fine but "Super Wii" sounds ridiculous to me; like something a kindergartner would come up with. Not that WiiU is a whole lot better but at least the "U" logo looks pretty cool.
"Wii HD" has the best ring to it but it just would've caused confusion so "Wii 2" was the way to go, not just for the name but for the whole direction. If Nintendo had just launched a "Wii 2" for $249 with a Wiimote/nunchuck/pro controller and later introduced the Gamepad separately with a game for $89 (Balance Board style) they would be in a much better place right now regarding both sales and profits.
