The Nintendo Wii could have had a much worse name

nme.com:

Nintendo eventually decided to call it’s fifth-gen home console the Nintendo Wii. A new leak however has revealed a bunch of potentially worse suggestions.As part of the same “gigaleak” that unveiled a scrapped sequel to 2003’s Pokemon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, the three-page document apparently shows a list of pitched titles for the Wii, as shared on the ResetEra messageboards by user MondoMega.

You can see the whole list here.The document includes imaginative titles such as “New Nintendo Gamecube” and “Next Nintendo” alongside some more bizarre suggestions. “Nintendo Blue Thunder”, “Nintendo Game Carnival” and “Nintendo Juke Box” are all listed while “Nintendo Everlasting Wave” comes with a note that the acronym would spell NEW.It looks.
