According to the Nintendo Style Guide, the name "is simply Wii, not Nintendo Wii." This means it is the first home console Nintendo has marketed outside of Japan without the company name featured in its trademark.

So uh, stop calling it the Nintendo Wii since that's not it's name. Seems like that one ad needs to be corrected.

I always call it the "Wii".

And? I call it whatever I want to call it. For instance, *deragatory flamebait*

huh did u say something about the NINTENDO wii ??
lol im sure alotta ppl know that already but still feel the need to catogerize it.

It's always been the Wii. But we use the company name like an honorarium. Dodge's truck may be called a Durango, but we still call it the Dodge Durango. Same with the Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360.

I have yet to hear someone say any of the following:

"The Nintendo NES."
"The Nintendo SNES."
"The Nintendo N64."
"The Nintendo Virtual Boy."
"The Nintendo Game Boy."
"The Nintendo Game Boy Advance."

The only ones I have heard were:

"The Nintendo 64."
"The Nintendo Game Cube."
"The Nintendo DS."

huh, I thought this was going to be a thread complaining about people who don't use the "the" I've got Wii You want to Wii?

Wii will call it Wii ;)

 well the reason no one calls it the nintendo NES is because that would be saying nintendo nintendo entertainment system. just because nobody calls it the nintendo gameboy doesnt mean that that isnt its name.

Damn I'm late
