What should the Wii U be called besides the... Wii U?

[Aerograt]

Someone here suggested "Yuu" since it fits with the whole "It's a console for you" idea as well with the funky "Wii" pronunciation. Anyone else have suggestions?

 

[Baron_BJ]

The Nintendo FUN MACHINE!
Wii was retarded, but Wii U is carrying idiocy too far.

 

[zehydra]

Wii 2

it's almost the same, but it's a little bit easier to pronounce.

 

[Darkstorm091]

Wii Nii, of course.

...I kid. I think Wii U is pushing it a little far with names, but Yuu looks weird and would lead to interesting conversations in stores.
"I'd like the new Yuu please..."

Although it seems kind of drawl, their safest bet probably would have been to just call it the Wii 2.

If they don't price it reasonably:

The Nintendo "Nobodii"

I was honestly pretty down with the name when the rumours were it was just going to be called "Nintendo". Sure as hell better than WEE YOO WEE YOO WEE YOO.

 

[Kahunaburger]

Anything.

 

[darksakul]

Wii U, more like Pii U; Am I right?

 

[Cavan]

that thing with the toaster for a controller

oo look at me making jokes that fit the current gossip and rage

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Anything but that.

It sounds like something you'd say after someone farts.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

The Dreamcast.

<__>

 

[WouldYouKindly]

The French police siren. WEEOO WEEOO WEEOO WEEOO!

 

[DustyDrB]

Anything. How hard is it to pick out a non-shitty name? Nintendo needs to enlist the aid of Don Draper.

 

[Treefingers]

Wii Puu?

"It's not called a Wiil, it's called a Carousel"

That work?

I refer to the silly console name as WiiWoo and that is what I shall continue to call it. I spent enough on a 3DS that has no good games currently; I do not plan on wasting my time on a new overhyped console. Heck, the rumors of it being called Beem were better than the Wii U. What's the big difference from the Nintendo DS / Wii era to the Nintendo 3DS / WiiU era? One extra character in the names and a bunch of reboots.

tl;dr or off topic tangent: Basically, any of the rumors would have been better than the Wii U.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

How about the Ultra 64? Or the Dolphin! Nintendo DS Home?

That's all I've got really. Based on Nintendo's past* we may have another Wii around 2018 when the next, next-gen of consoles starts to arise.

Spoiler: *What I mean by that

Nintendo Entertainment System
Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Nintendo 64
[sub]The Gamecube was made by Nintendo but it was simply the Gamecube. The Gamecube is now officially the odd system out since it is neither a Nintendo or a Wii.[/sub]
Wii
Wii U

Even the handhelds follow a similar scheme

Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advanced
Gameboy Advanced SP
Gameboy Micro

DS
DS Lite
DSi
DSiXL
3DS

The Virtual Boy is the odd system out mainly due to suck.

 

[Luthir Fontaine]

Can we just call it Nintendo

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

Wii 2

Ridiculous Controller Machine of Hilarity

"TheHardcoreStillDon'tWantMe/cry"

 

[Thespian]

Something like "Nintendo Motion" or anything simple or classic-sounding would be ten times better than this. Ugh.
