A name can go a long way in giving a console recognition and appeal; a confusing or just plain bad name (cough*WiiU*cough*XboxOne*cough) can damage its selling power, while one that's cool, catchy, and clearly communicates the system's value proposition can help it gain traction.

Unlike Sony, Nintendo haven't adopted a unified numbered naming system, and have given each of their platforms its own name.

Which Nintendo console do you feel had the best name, and what specifically do you think made it good?
