The Wii doesn't have the brand power that it really ought to. So I would avoid that

Since I honestly believe the next Nintendo console will be a traditional home console as always (launch in 2018, 50-100% more powerful than the PS4, yadayada), Nintendo Revolution I think is brilliant; it would give Nintendo a launching point for some amazing marketing. They could enter the next gen with some attitude as well surrounding that, a sort of throwback to the early N64 ads. With that kind of "you gotta problem with that?" attitude, they could wear their distinctiveness on their sleeve as a promotion rather than a distraction. I think taking the badass presentation from most of the Smash Bros trailers would be a good idea; even Mario looks like an absolute boss in those. Plus, show off the huge variety of Nintendo's IP.

This is a somewhat rough slogan, but imagine a trailer showing all that off with attitude and ending with:

"It's time to change it up. Are you in?" (Or you could use N a la "Get N or Get Out")


For Nintendo's sake I would really hope its more then 50%-100% the power of the PS4 if its launching in 2018 :/

That was just me throwing out a number, it would be great if it was more.  However, law of diminishing returns is eroding the value of ridiculous upgrades. 
http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/polygon-count-diminishing-returns-consoles.jpeg this is a good illustration.  Also, 100% is still doubling the power which is still a pretty big upgrade and the competition would have to go *way* beyond that to get a noticeable difference that would catch the eye at a glance.  But it really comes down to tech prices and how low they go.  It could be far more powerful if tech prices continue to tumble.
