What should Nintendo call their next system?

[Agent X]

I personally didn't care for their non imaginative Nintendo 64 moniker, and Wii still has me "seething" since I really believed they were going to call the current system Revolution.  In fact *Game Cube* was self defined but "okay", but that was the last system name that worked.  What would you guys like to see NCL name their next console?

Personally whenever they do release a new system, I think they should return to the "Famicom" namesake but actually use it this time in every region, including the USA/North America, it should be called the Hyper Famicom IMO.  It invokes power, speed, and reconnects us to the "Family Computer" moniker from back in the day.  The design in my mind would be something Cyberpunk (like how the NEC SuperGrafx basically was a realized William Gibson described Ono Sendai Cyberspace 7 deck) with the asthetics of the 16-BIT JPN Super Famicom, even going so far as to include the old blue/green/yellow/red button symbol.

I say "Hyper Famicom"

What say you guys?

No matter how much we hope, it'll never happen.  Nintendo never names a new system after an old system. 
I can't keep up with Nintendo...I know how they got the name "Wii", but I can't imagine why they would want it.  It's also the first system not to have "Nintendo" in the title of the system..even though some people call it the "Nintendo Wii" anyway.  Nintendo even publicly said it isn't the "Nintendo Wii", it's just the "Wii".

It'll also depend on the shape and tech specs of the system, as noted in the N64 and GCN...

Maybe this time we'll finally see the Nintendo øn become a reality .

[nintendodork]

Erm..well they don't...
The one exception would be the "Classic NES series" GBASP, but I would barely call that an exception..since it''s still an SP

Wait for it...wait for it...

WiiWii would like to urinate.

I think it will be something even simpler than Wii.

Maybe just one letter, or better yet, a symbol that has no actual word for it.

Maybe they'll call their next system Super Wii

Honestly, I don't think there will be another system.

Not much farther you can go from motion control thingss.   

I don't know, I HOPE there will be.

Translated from Wikipedia Japan...I think..

〆,乄 (cake) is one of the characters, Kanji (native script). 部首は丿部 1画。 Radical is 丿部 a painting. 卍 （まんじ）などとともに特殊な漢字とされる。 Manji (swastika) and special characters are.

You would be very surprised.  In 1899 they said that everything that could be invented was invented, and in the 50s, they said in 50 years, we'd need less than 10 computers worldwide.  I'm sure Nintendo will give us a new system.

Regardless of the specs, games or anything else, I would buy Nintendo's next system if it were called "Revolution" based solely on how much I absolutely HATE the name "Wii"

GODDAMN that name sucks.
