Okay, the Wii U will be amazing. There's no doubting that. I hate the name, however. Wii U? Why not Wii 2, or Nintendo Revolution, or NintenCore, or something other than Wii U?

It's still a Wii in terms of a family console, but with a lot more emphasis on U, you the "hardcore" gamer.

3DS is a perfect name; the DS is 3D.

Nintendo Revolution - Wii's project name, so it's already taken. Why didn't they call the Gamecube the Nintendo Dolphin?
Wii 2 - Implications that it's merely a carbon copy of the system with a few upgrades.
NintenCore - It just doesn't roll off the tongue, not to mention that it implies the alienation of anyone who isn't a core gamer.

If you watched e3, Iwata explains why it's called the Wii U.

The Wii U is the successor to the Wii. It is a new console but it also improves upon the concept of the Wii. The NES: Nintendo's first console and also it was 8-bit; the SNES: one of Nintendo's most popular consoles and it improved on the NES and it was 16-bit.
The N64 and GC were not successors. They were different consoles. Again, Wii U is the successor to the Wii.

I shower you with coconut cream pies.

I like the name. The more I hear it the more acceptable and less silly it becomes. It is kinda like the Wii in that respect.

Be wary, the suck is coming.

It is motion control(tilting and moving the gamepad)

It sends like many games are still using the wii remote and nunchuck.BLOPS2, zombiu, nsmbu, pikmin3 etc. so in that sense it's still motion control. It's just that it's also got the new gamepad aswell .

Kind of pointless/stupid to change the name now. The name never did bother me.

I actually love the name and the box-art is the best box-art ive ever seen besides the N64 boxes they were awesome! I really like some of the 360 boxes and hate the Ps3 boxes with a passion they are ugly.

NintenCore is one of the worst names I've ever heard. :)

It was an idea, meant to show hard core, and Nintendo.
