It makes me think of this guy (unfortunately).

But aside from the name, I'm quite happy with it.

I wanted to see a Wii 2, better motion control, way more power to stop the dumbed down third-party titles, etc. Instead most are still baffled as to what this think actually is, and lots of people thought that the controller was an add-on to the Wii! It felt like a poor, rushed presentation that left more question than answers, and not in the intriguing way. I really hope that time changes all of this, but I'm really disappointed in what I've seen.

All of this basically, the only thing they showcased was pretty much the controller and you only got a small glimpse of the actual console when it was sitting in the corner tucked away and to be honest it looked like a Wii so I thought it was just a brand new controller for the Wii... wrong.

If they showed us what it could do then I'd be happy, but instead we get a half-arsed presentation and a "deep" look into the controller, I mean how will it work? How will it be incorporated? Will developers still incorporate the Wii remote? What does it do? How much is it going to be? I'm still baffled by Nintendo's E3, nothing spectacular for Skyward Sword, same for everything really.

I felt very disappointed when it was pretty much what the 3DS has to offer, their in the final phases for Skyward Sword, Wii U being released next year. I mean, where's the gameplay? Where's the talk about what's coming to Wii and 3DS? We got nothing pretty much.

At first I thought it was an incredibly stupid name, but then I realized you can pronounce it like a siren, and that made it fun. Wee-oo wee-oo wee-oo!

Remember the episode of Spongebob where he's a hall monitor? And he and Patrick go around the streets shouting "Weeeeyooo, weeeeeyoooo, weeeeeyoooo!" like a siren?

Yeah....

I think the systems name is a play on words like in the mario party 8 commercial where 2 guys at the door say "Wii would like to play". The word "Wii" really means "We". So for the WiiU it's like saying "We and you". Thats what i think.

Reggie already explained the play on words, though he meant it as a Wii for YOU.

I don't get why people think the name is SOOO horrible. We all hated the name 'Wii' MUCH, MUCH worse when that was announced and we all got used to it.

When I close my eyes, I see pixilated blood.

I was looking forward to connecting my Wii to the WiiU but my mom threw the Wii on the floor and broke it. _

System looks good so far. The name is terrible. Also very disappointed in Nintendo's showing. If I was just going by this e3 I'd say Nintendo is now the only company making original games for its platforms...

So is that what the U stands for? Clever I guess.

I actually liked the rumor of them just calling it "Nintendo" simple and to the point was kinda hoping for that.

Well, just say "Wii 2" if you really hate the name that much (it almost sounds the same).. it's better then the name xbox 360 though... I would like that name better if the system was actually a circle... kind of like how the gamecube was actually a cube...

Its called a 360 cause when you first see it you do a 360 and walk away from it.
