A portion of a This Is Wii U.com article:
"The Wii U name wasn’t well received by anyone at first. Neither the media, fans or analysts took to the name. It just sounded stupid, and with the months prior to E3, there were various rumours which had some amazing names. With that in mind, I believed it would be a good idea to look at what names would be better suited for the Wii U. Please note, this should be taken with a light-heart."
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
All terrible. The whole idea of the Wii U was to make a wii brand. The Nintendo sounds all rights but doesn't reflect the wii routes in the Wii U. The last two are just pure rubbish and make the console seem more of a peripheral than the name Wii U does.
Should be titled 4 worse than 'Wii U' names.
Happily they don't work for nintendo.
The only name that i like is cafe, even if it's the reverse of f*ck, i think this is better than the other propositions.
