So, I'm overly surprised that this forum hasn't received a quiz since SPW disappeared on us, so I figure to lighten up the overall mood of the forums, we're gonna have some competition. Expect more of my shenanigans in the coming days.

Welcome to Auzzie's Ultimate Scramble

Who'll be the whiz in this Wii U quiz?

--- The Rules ---
You guys know what a quiz is, right? It's simple: I dish out questions, and you answer them. It's a first come, first serve policy. 5 points to the person who gets it right first, 1 point for repeat answer offenses and 2 bonus points for every additional detail the first person missed.

This quiz will be directly aimed at the Wii U, including it's hardware, software, it's competition, anything concerning Nintendo, and news concerning the Wii U. Expect image and sound files, puzzles, question medleys and riddles. I hope you brought only your jocks, because I'm out to burn your brains!

Q1. This one is really easy guys. Why was the Wii U, literally called the Wii U?

Alright there's your question for now. I'll be off preparing some other stuff for later in the quiz, among other things.

because wii was about bringing everyone together in front of the tv and wii u is about u.

[BanjoKazooie]

Because Nintendo wanted to keep wii in the name because it is what the world knows, they put a u at the end to do a terrible job differentiating from the original so everyone thinks its a 300 dollar peripheral for the wii. Do
I get 2 points for more details?

It is called Wii U because it is the best thing for your family and friend's experience, and the best experience for you.

Because Nintendo wanted to make a reference with the language censors on this site.

Wii = We
In case of the Wii, it emphasized on social interactivity.

U = You
Emphasizing solo player activity.

Wii U = Emphasis on both aspects while retaining a successor name to their best selling console.

Because Nintendo left their console naming decisions to Akira Toriyama.
