Win! Or the POO U. (Poo on you)

@OP. Whenever I hear the name WiiU, I always hear this endless dialogue between two italians slicks debating who did what.

mafioso 1: "Did you guys take the statue della madonna?"

mafioso 2: "I tot you took it"

mafioso 1: "No, I told you to gerrit"

mafioso 3: "We, you, we , you, what difference does it make!?"  *with hand motions*

Terrible name, but a name isn't going to stop me from buying one.

The should have just called it the Wii but added another "W" to the front. Doesn't WWII sound epic? But I guess Wii + U is pretty inclusive. Who does it leave out? Nobody. We+You=Us. All of us. And Us=U.S. It's obvious that the Wii wants to win the United States (the biggest gaming market out there).

See why I don't smoke marijuana? Because of shit like this.

You just have to play safe and be sure it's high quality one! Like what Obama smoked before inventing "Romnesia"!!!

Although I've gotten used to it, Wii U isn't the best name. Obviously, Nintendo couldn't drop Wii from the title. The Wii brand is super strong. But Wii 2 would have been just fine. Plus, it keeps the play on words: We, too!



Well, if you had to pick a letter to go behind "Wii", which one would YOU have picked?

-Wii A? Reminds people of "The Avengers" and people clearly agree that The Dark Knight Rises was the better movie.

-Wii B? Just horrible grammar. Remember that Sean Paul song "We Be Burning"? There ya go.

-Wii C? Sound too much like Lil Wayne's nickname, "Weezy"

-Wii D? Like the cereal, "Wheaties"? Or the drug? Not the message Nintendo wants to send.

-Wii E? Like "WHEEEEEE!" No console is that much fun. A little truth in advertising from Nintendo. I like that.


No, after going through the entire alphabet, the only letter that makes even a little sense is Wii U. It's perfect.



I had this bitchin dream this weekend where Nintendo started calling the WiiU the Super Nintendo 64.
