We think everyone's pretty happy with the name Nintendo Revolution. It's got pull, it's got cred, everyone knows what you're talking about — that beautiful opalescent system with the magic wand controller that lets you sword fight or strum an electric guitar in parallel with your character on screen. Nintendo would be stupid to change the name at this point — everyone wants the Revolution, not the Electric Nintendo Fairy Protuberance 20X6 or whatever Big N's marketing weirdos dream up.

Yet rumors are circling at GDC that change the name of the Revolution, Nintendo may! Also abuzz upon the GDC rumor mill — that the Revolution may very well ship this June, making the Playstation 3 the last console to ship this generation.

According to Gamecloud, all will be known as soon as Saturo Iwata makes his key-note speech on Thursday. Ladies, start twittering gossip amongst yourselves. We'll update you on Thursday.
