Poll: Family Computer or Famicom?

[satoshi_matrix]

Hey Famicom World, I would like to inlist your votes in my poll as well. On the Cover Project there's been some debate over what spine art should decorate Famicom games. Should it be "Nintendo Family Computer" or should it be "Nintendo Famicom"?

please vote. The more votes the better. I personally think Famicom sounds better, but to each their own. Let's see what you guys think.

I'd do Nintendo Family Computer, as seen on the face of the console.

[manuel]

Yeah, Nintendo Family Computer has also a nice sound to it.

[133MHz]

Yup, like in the commercials

ファミリコンピュータ

[satoshi_matrix]

Hmm, so even you guys are against me 

Oh well, I guess I lose out here. Please vota anyway. Once the poll goes by a landslide to one direction (and at least 10 people have voted), the covers will be finalized.

[manuel]

We're not against you per se.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

I can't really decide:

We know the full name is "Family Computer" anyway, if someone doesn't it's not like it'll kill them unless they find a "Family Computer" for sale & pass on it.

We say "Famicom" all the time anyway, but "Family Computer" looks nice, too.

So, yeah, I'm undecided.

Yes, could you guys please vote? I want to proceed with the construction of the Project as soon as possible. I don't think you need to regester to vote, but if you do, it's real simple.

There's the Intelligent Systems/Nintendo game for called Famicom Wars remember...also with GBA ports in Japan are known as the Famicom Mini Series, so Nintendo did use the term Famicom, but only in later years. When it first came out, it was the Family Computer, offically. But I just don't think that sounds good.

[JC]

Ah, so Famicom Wars. I wonder if that was the first use of Famicom by Nintendo.

[FamicomFreak]

yes nintendo family computer!
