And for the love of God, bring back the red logo. No more fu*king iLite horsesh*t.

lol! nice rant dude!

Are you insane? I called the original Nintendo "the Nintendo" because there was only f*cking one. After that it was Super, 64, Cube and then Wii. Also, who the f*ck calls 360 "the xbox"? Everyone I play games with/talk about playing games with calls it the 360. Same with PS3. No one I know has called it "the Playstation" since...well...THE PLAYSTATION. PS2 and PS3 always.

This is a stupid as f*ck idea. The NES wasn't even called "Nintendo" it was called Nintendo Entertainment System. If they called it something along those lines, sure, but to just call it "Nintendo"? That's dumb as hell.

Yeah I have to agree with you. Nintendo has always been creative with well everything ranging from the console's title to it's new innovations. I never liked that about Sony though, how uncreative their console names are. Just add a number at the end. There's always a reason for why each Nintendo console has a different name. For example The Nintendo 64 had 64 bits, the Nintendo DS has two screens aka Double Screens, etc. The day Nintendo stops being creative and unique is the day we have a problem.

But it's funny because everyone in Mexico calls any system a Nintendo.

Like Peanut said, that's because it was the first and only one at the time.

Because they're from f*cking Mexico.

I know, that's why it's funny. Every time I go there and I bring a system with me one of my aunts will say "Que Nintendo es eso". I just find it funny how ignorant they are to those things.

*Cure* · 06-05-2011, 10:52 PM

Like how you're ignorant to the fact that not everyone here reads Spanish.

Why do you like being such a douche? Do you get your ass kicked a lot in life that's why you like picking on people that can't physically do anything to you? It's a quote, translate it yourself. Use the damn internet.

*sdp* · 06-05-2011, 10:58 PM

"I'm playing xbox/playstation/nintendo" is done all the time, its far from the predominant way to call it like he implied but people casually saying that is not uncommon by any means.

I doubt the rumor is true since there would be brand confusion with the actual company and the console. I would like to see the Nintendo name having some type of role in the name, I was a bit sad that the Wii brand was pushed without Nintendo anywhere in it, sure it made sense business wise but I was still bummed by it.

The funny thing is this is total BS, but have fun spreading misinformation and ignorance.

I...read Spanish. Haha. Oh, you.

Thanks for taking "everyone" literally.

Everyone in the US is an ignorant redneck.

I assume you've seen many ignorant rednecks in the US then, right?

You obviously aren't getting it.

Man, I wonder when the X-Men are going to spilit in to two teams, one led by Wolverine and one let by Scott. (he's a dick.)

What? This is about as on topic as anything else in here at the moment.

They might announce something for X-Men Destiny.

BOOM, full circle.

This is why I love you, Cure.

You two are both horrifyingly gay.

This is easily one of the most awaited E3s since 2006 when we had new hardware with the Wii/PS3. After that it was the downsizing for two years and since then E3 has been growing again and now it seems as big as it used to be and with new hardware from Nintendo and Sony its definitely the most exciting when even after going back to "old E3" there just weren't enough exciting announcements outside last years Nintendo conference. Theres so much hype I wonder if E3 will be able to live it up or if it'll be a huge disappointing, either way watching the outcome will be interesting.
