Sony is blue now. Microsoft was always green. Nintendo was red for most generations except for the Wii and midway through the GameCube.

To me, going red is a combination of nostalgia of the old days (bringing back some gamers who ditched Nintendo for the PS1 or Xbox) and also looking more hardcore and intense instead of white game cases (PS3 being clear cases with black and Xbox being green looks much better than the generic white cases of the Wii)

So, should Nintendo start branding their stuff Red or stick with the blue and white?

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Red is my absolute favorite color, but the red Wii U logo just doesn't feel right... Also the red LED and boxart... Nah.
No sig.

Eh, could be cool. I'd rather they went black/blue though. Like back in the days of the Revolution. ^_^

I wish it to be red again. From what I see, the standard Nintendo logo is a dull grey. :(

I'd be good with black and blue. Just not white or grey. So damn dull and boring.

For their logo, I don't mind the red. For everything else...it rather looks odd. Especially for the Metroid case. o>O

I would kill for Nintendo to go back to their red logo.

But I am not sure if I like the idea on having red game cases.

I have to agree. Red has always been Nintendo's signature colour for everything. I was a little disappointed when it became blue. Call me nostalgic, but I think for trademark and original purposes they should return to red. I rarely see that ever so classic Nintendo logo with the red elipse around it, and it would be very refreshing to see that logo return.

Still though, the Wii U logo in red doesn't quite look right. Also, the red on the Wii U looks a little too much like something that would remind XBOX players of that evil Red Ring Of Death. Not saying it IS that, but it just reminds me of it. A lot.
