The Nintendo Revolution.
It had a good ring to it. Maybe a little more longwinded than Nintendo usually is, maybe even a touch pretentious. But a good ring. The name of a new console. It sounded right.
And then shock, disbelief. Outrage, in some quarters. Laughter, certainly. I was absolutely convinced that "Wii" was a joke, and that we would get the punchline at E3. A giant "gotcha" after a hilarious media storm. But I was so wrong it hurt. And kept hurting. GayGamer's soothing balm is my only solace:
Sunday will mark the 4 month (1 year in gay relationship time) anniversary of the console formerly known as the Revolution being renamed the Wii.At the time, wii all had some strong feelings about the name change. As clearly evidenced by the fan art you see. It was all so surreal.
In all honesty, I've ceased thinking about it. Wii is still a funny word, but the novelty is gone and I simply accept it now. Next shock, please.
"Wii" Forgive? [GayGamer]
