I searched for a thread like this, but to my surprise I could not find one. I found the poll thread, but I don't want your vote, I want to know YOUR ideas. I have thought of 3:

Nintendo Prime
Master Nintendo Entertainment System (MNES, Master NES)
Nintendo Master System (NMS)


I'm a big fan of Nintendo actually making their name part of the brand, unlike Wii (the official name is Wii, not Nintendo Wii). Prime Nintendo Entertainment System would be cool, but we all know there would be too many PNES jokes. I'm also a fan of the popular Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System (UNES).

Whate are your thoughts/ideas?

All and all, I would rather the system to just be called The Nintendo U. If they were going to make a name change I think that would be the most likely.

Woe is I, who haft been unprepared. I hath entered a sanctuary of forbidden to the eyes of men. 

My eyes shall burn with the images of that which I had seen. Far beyond my comprehension, a ritual. I hath seen them dance and sing.

For they danced and sang with a passion no longer held by my kind. And when such ritual hath concluded I was awakened to the meaning of it all.

I was enlightened to passion of the other kind. finally, I sayth to myself.

"Mine being hath been prepared"

Come on, there are at least three threads like this. Instead of searching on the site search in google with something like 'thewiiu.com wii u name'.


A few things:

1. If you fundamentally disagree with this new thread's existince, why would you post on it and effectively bump it?
2. A few people have responded, which means either they did not participate in the supposed previous threads or the have a desire to share their opinion/read others' opinions.
3. Here's a lesson from a guy who was a smart-alec when he was a teenager too: to put the icing on top, you should have linked me to these threads you can find with a google search.
4. Here's the results of my google search: https://www.google.c...iw=1360&bih=653

All and all, I would rather the system to just be called The Nintendo U. If they were going to make a name change I think that would be the most likely.


I like that idea. Simple, to the point, and effective. People will know that U is "connected" to Wii, allowing Nintendo to keep the Wii brand without actually putting Wii on the package, and putting their name on it. Maybe it never was the Wii brand, it was the Subject Pronoun brand...

I think that calling it the Revolution or anything containing Ultra would just be a dumb idea.

That being said, I would name it the Nintendo Strike.

You should of put "rename" too.

I'd name it "Wii 2" or "Wii Plus", because the Wii brand is worth a fortune.
The only reason I'd say Plus over 2 is the PS4 or PS3, xbox 360 or 720 might be seen to be better just because it's got a higher number in the name.

I think it should be called the Nintendo 1080. Why not? It's the first true native 1080p console, and the name also means they're doing way more than a "360".

That's how you do it, sportsgamer!

Interesting, Nintendo 1080 has a nice ring to it.

Could cause some confusion if Nintendo decides to make a new 1080 Snowboarding game though.. :P
