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.

I understand diminishing returns but when we've already seing big downgrades, sub 1080p performance and the like I think its fair to assume that Nintendo should go out of their way way to make sure that they at least can easily pull of the stuff we were sold at the beginning of this gen and more.
But yeah, it all depends on how tech prices evolve. I just hope that Nintendo are willing to make small loss on it like sony did with the PS4 and that they're also willing to price the system between 399-499 (above their normal pricing)
