Wii

If you're savvy on the video game scene, Nintendo has been blowing it quite some it. The Nintendo 64 wasn't 1/2 as good at the Playstation and the Gamecube wasn't mature enough and just didn't have that many great games. Now, if you're like me and you get nostalgic about those Super Nintendo days, you want to see them finally not screw up, but Nintendo might have done it again.

Initially, Nintendo's new console was dubbed "Revolution". A pretty simple name, easy to grasp. New console, Revolution, it works. Nintendo just announced a name change from Revolution to Wii, which is pronounced as "we". If you need to explain the pronunciation, you've already got trouble with the mass market. Unless they can joke about how the pronunciation is tough to guess, I sense trouble. Think about the insults with people saying, "Why" would Nintendo call if Wii? The pun being mistakingly pronouncing Wii, why.

Next week is E3, the Auto Show of video games, and we'll see how things pan out. For now, I'm a worried Nintendo fanboy.
