In an entirely unexpected announcement this morning, Nintendo has unveiled the release name of the console formerly known as “Revolution” : The Nintendo Wii.

According to a cute animated release on Nintendo’s site, the name is pronounced “We” and is chosen for numerous reasons, including ease of pronunciation regardless of language, representation of the system’s unique Dual-Controller system and a bunch of other stuff you can read for yourself.

I’m not sure I hate the name, but I’m still pretty attached to Revolution. Either way, this is THE console to pick up for unique games in the coming generation. Can’t wait to see what happens.
