Topic: Stay with the name NX? Yes or No?

Yes

No

I'd be cool with it. It probably sounds better than whatever the final name ends up being for it.

@Bolt_Strike The Super Wii is coming your way

By the time the NX releases, we would have known it as the NX for much longer than any new names. So I'd vote to keep it called the NX, or at least have NX be the shortened version of the real name.

It does have a certain ring to it that i think works, so i'd go for yes. Or maybe call it the NeX, keeping in line with their tapping into the waive of NES nostalgia.

But console names are mostly irrelevant to me; as far as i'm concerned, whatever is the current Nintendo console is just "the Nintendo".

They should use a codename. I suggest revolution

Most consumers don't even know or care about codenames for products. Until it flashes across their Facebook feeds as an actual product it more or less doesn't exist. So I don't think it really matters at all that it's been known as the NX for us. That's irreverent.

Also "NX" as a name isn't really that appealing. For a start it's kinda hard to pronounce in some languages. It also sounds like some sort of obscure piece of high end audio hardware or something. Not a good start.

There has been a fair bit of publicity on the BBC in the uk. Their E3 reports mentioned it on Radio 1 and BBC news also bought it up in a recent news peice about Nintendos value going up after pokemon go released. I think there had been a bit more hype around it than than the WII U ever had.
Hopefully we are all in for a treat when NX (love the name) is revealed

I wouldn't mind them using the NX as the final name. After all, at least you can't confuse it with the Wii.

No. NX means nothing...unless they explain the name in a 20 minute featurette during the reveal (nobody wants that right?). We don't even know what the new concept is yet, so the name should reflect that. Sure the 'X' might be referencing cross in someway because that seems big in Japan but god knows lol.

They need a catchy, distinct brand name like Sony's "Playstation" or the Microsoft "Xbox."

At this point, just call it the "Wii 3." It's the only hardware brand with name recognition Nintendo has outside of "Gameboy" and, well, "Nintendo."

Wii U 2 =P

New Wii U

No

I have changed my mind. (Nintendo)NX makes a really good logo. That's all that matters these days

@Haru17
The reason Sony and Microsoft need names like Xbox or PlayStation is because they make other stuff, like TVs or Windows.

Nintendo just make games so Nintendo is their catchy name.
So NX after the name works completely for me.
Its like a car ending in GTI or XR3I, that's how its reffered too in conversation.

Nintendo NX is a great name. I always felt from day one when we first heard about it that this should be the official name. It's a heck of a better name than Wii/Wii U.

Wii 3? That's...
