Actually, I went to the Nintendo World Store after the big Nintendo conference in NYC, and I ran into Kotaku's Brian Crecente. He said that The Regginator was very adamant about separating the kiddie image from the Wii. That's why the game boxes say nothing about Nintendo, and only say "Wii." So your article is right on target. If you want, I wrote up the whole experience of meeting Mr Kotaku at my site I work for, videolamer (I can't help myself with the selfish plug), so check it out.

Yeah, I don't think anyone will complain if it helps Nintendo return to its former glory in terms of console sales.

Also explains the name change from "Revolution" which isn't the most accessible word, to a simple ultra modern "Wii" that doesn't really mean anything.

Older people, like those Nintendo is targeting with Wii, associate "nintendo" with "videogame"... dare I say, "boring videogames where you sit alone and play."

By taking away the Nintendo name, it removes that bias that some might have about Nintendo being "videogamey" and thus "not my thing."... and even "Nintendo" being "kiddie" or "something I won't ever touch withi my mature hands."

AS long as their games are still the same great Nintendo, everyone'll be happy :)

Its similar to Apple and the iPod, they quickly branded it as "iPod" and not "Apple iPod" whilst the Apple branding was weak, obviously now its picked up again because of the iPod.

If people don't know the Wii is a Nintendo machine, then they really are oblivious.

It will be interesting to know if this brand backseating will effect the sales of the Wii.

I hope it works better than it did for the Sega Dreamcast
