Developers React To 'Wii'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gnashing-of-teeth dept.

Gamasutra has reactions from game developers to the announcement of the Revolution's new commercial name, 'Wii'. From the article: "It doesn't change my personal opinions of the console in the slightest. It changes my opinion of the Nintendo marketing department considerably. Did they even bother to research this? Why do they do these things? What was wrong with 'Revolution'? It's bad enough that the Japanese have a drink called "Sweat," but at least they don't try to export it to the English-speaking world with that name. Am I supposed to be happy about having to go down to the game store to purchase the 'Nintendo Wee'? For God's sake, where was Miyamoto? I can't believe he would have let this get by. - Ernest Adams"

    I can't find the music video at the moment, but at that disgusting website Stileproject (found on a search engine) -- and the video has been "craptured" by the Admin of Stileproject, so beware of nastiness mixed throughout the video... ~10MB download.

    My apologies, people. It's not a Pr0n link, on my perspective. I just see the "Download eke1.wmv" link, then it goes to a huge page with some crap that I need to scroll past (admittantly advertised Pr0n), but none of this gets in my way because I used LYNX webbrowser!

    Anyone that uses a graphical webbrowser while at work deserves neither security or safety.
