Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Rumor: Nintendo renaming the WiiU before E3

Honestly, I hope they do change the name and also hope that "Wii" isn't in the name at all.

I don't like:

Wii U
Wii 2
Super Wii

The best out of those is Wii U though IMO.

I suck at thinking of names so therefor I won't. Out of all of the options posted in this thread:

Stream is the one I like the most because it makes since and still sounds good



Around the Network

Super Streme



 

        

Wii2



I liked Stream.



Love and tolerate.

A possible name that could confuse people even further would be WiiDS. The WiiU is essentially a double screen Wii.

How about the NES2 or just NES ?

Back to basics, and a new start to gaming much like the original was. Alot of bands come out with a second self-titled album later in their career why not Nintendo?



1) Super Nintendo Wii.
2) Nintendo 6.



Well, call it Wii-2 and there won't be confusion as people understand its a sequel then. However, if losing the Wii moniker is considered not as important, then a wholly new name would definitely be ok too.

But, WiiU is definitely a little confusing right off the bat as it does not clearly tell the purchaser its a new version. Basically, yes, you will have the same confusion where many people thought the 3DS was just a DS with 3D capabilities.



ohh I like some of your suggestions with Stream. Kinda still flows with the whole Wii name too.



I still stand by the name - Super Wii
