Worst Name Ever

I just typed the title to this post using the comic book guy’s voice from The Simpsons.

Wii?

The Nintendo “Revolution” is being named the Wii?

I’m trying to contact TopOfCool.com’s Japanese correspondent to see if Wii actually means something interesting in another language.

Update: Wii means nothing in Japanese. So, it’s official. Worst. Name. Ever.

Update 2: Apparently, in the UK, “to take a wee” is popular vernacular for “urinate”. Next time, Nintendo, just call it the Puu.

WORST NAME EVER
