Cube. Is that the coolest graphical style ever or what? I think it 1-ups Okami, which held the previous record in my book

Oh, we'll have them overtaken in no time if we don't already

But that's the way it always is with Nintendo fans - we're hopeless

Nonsense! Backwards compatibility is really hard to do - Microsoft said so!

It is if you switch architectures, of course if you are willing to settle for
a faster version of your old hardware it's easy.

Handbags!

New Wii related trademarks !!M, Wiipointer and Wiiculture. !!M is obviously Wii flipped 180 degrees and might be an instant messaging service.

Although it was not too long since codename Revolution was renamed to Wii, there are some rumors that if might undergo another name change in the following months. According to a source inside Nintendo, the negative reaction of the community and marketing strategies are the causes of that possible name change.

"We have received over 200,000 e-mails with complaints about the Wii, and the console name has been commonly associated with urine. We have been the target of many jokes, and we strongly believe that it's a bad thing for the company's reputation", says Mike, who works at the marketing department of Nintendo.

Mike also adds that people are not taking this new console very seriously. In a recent poll, they found that 62% of gamers think "Wii" sounds childish, and 49% said they wouldn't buy the console judging only by its name. The upcoming Nintendo console features an innovative controller, excellent graphic systems and internet connectivity.

Some of the suggested names are: Nintendo GameZone, Nintendo FutureNation and Nintendo GlobalBOX. Nintendo denies this possible name change.

GameZone?
FutureNation?

UCN - United Consoles of Nintendo

That has to be one of the most obviously false bits of news I've seen in my life!

While it's possible (highly unlikely, but possible) that Nintendo may change the Wii to something else, names like 'Gamezone', 'Futurenation' (sounds like a neo-fascist state) and 'GlobalBox' reek of being thought up by a particularly unimaginative 14 year old.

Hmm going on a purely visual basis, I think okami looks better

But then again, I do hate Mario...
