EVERYONE likes the name 3DS, most people were happy with calling it that, since we pretty much improvised the name ourselves, and its not like Nintendo would actually take our name for it.

Yes, the DS name is realy popular but also keep in mind that it will confuse the consumer thinking it's just another iteration of the DS.

Like how the PS3 is just another iteration of the PS2? It's all in the software, Nintendo will show consumers how it's different to 'another iteration of the DS' by producing software like Nintendogs that isn't possible* on the DS system or competing systems (PSP, PSP2, iPod Touch, Android devices, other smart phones etc).

*You can say that Nintendogs would have been possible on other platforms but it wouldn't have been a system seller because it wouldn't have been such a great fit.

I think the 3DS is a great name, but I also thought Revolution was a cool name for a console. Here's hoping they stick with 3DS, it allows them to utilise the brand recognition while telling you the console's most unique attribute in just 3 characters.

Nintendo trademarks all their console codenames. Revolution, StarCube, Nitro, Ultra64, etc....

I don't like 3DS much for a simple reason:

"Excuse Mr. Attendant, do you have 3DS's for sale here?"

"Yeah, we got plenty of 'em, not just three, the damn thing sells like hot cakes, you got here the Lite version, then you got this with a camera, more pricey, but...."

Excuse me, do you have those free DS's available?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I thought Nintendo tried to trademark Revolution but failed. Your also forgetting Dolphin lol which they also trademarked. Everyone is right just because something gets trademarked doesn't mean its coming with that name or even coming at all. Even after a game gets rated by the ESRB EarthBound 2 for example for the GBA was actually rated E for release in North america. Fans went wild just to be dissapointed when Nintendo didn't bring the game to North America.

You can only trust Nintendo's official press releases. That being said Kirby Wii was announced years ago and so was Pikmin3 yet neither game has been heard of since. So until you see the product with your own eyes don't jump to any conclusions!

It doesn't confirm anything dude.

Nintendo has the "Revolution" trademark and yet the console is called the Wii.

Those trademarks maybe are just to prevent "brand" theft than nothing else.

Or you could be right too, there's always that possibility.

Just check your Wii-Mote back the code is RVL-??? is everywhere , even in the disc boxs RVL-??? its funny cuz for Nintendo the Wii stills Revolution ...

 

Its can be , but this says nothing , its just a way to keep sony way of the 3DS name ^^

Now playing> THE LAST STORY (Wii) Best RPG I EVER PLAYED. *-*

Nintendo could u please just take my money and give me back my 3DS?!

Mr Khan on 18 May 2010

I disagree. They're just covering the trademark so that nobody can make a cheap-o knockoff that bore the code name for whatever the product actually is.
