The the Wii controller is called the Wii Remote (Or RemotePlus if you have a fancy, new one) but what will the Wii U controller be called? Nintendo has said that they don't have a name for it yet.
In an interview with Giant Bomb, Nintendo's US PR director Mark Franklin was asked if they have a name for the new controller yet. He said "Right now, we're just calling it the new controller. Don't have another name for it yet."
So it's 'the new controller'. Can you do better? Come up with the best name for the Wii U controller and we'll give you a copy of Batman: The Brave And The Bold for Wii!
Off you go...
Want to know more about Nintendo's new console? Here's everything you need to know about Wii U.
Here's our first Wii U review
[ Source: Giant Bomb ]
The U pad. Cleverly including the consoles name there
Something like the "extra vision" or something relating to the new screen.
The OVERSEER!
Wiindow
Wiintendo
Wiin2
WiiVuu or WiiView
U Wiindow would be my choice
Gerald.
Isn't the Wii Controller called Wiimote or WiimotePlus?
Not Wii Remot!!
Nintablet?
... WiiU controller?
how about..................................................................no, i got nothing
Wii View
It allows you to do everything right? I mean it is meant to allow you to view your game when you cannot view it on the TV. It allow to you view or browse the net (Cannot call it Wii Browse). Just like the Wii Remote it had the word Wii infront of it, so I believe this is a cool name for it. It is simple and the word (view that is) can be viewed for many different aspects for the controller.
There
the vu/viu pad. (pronounced view)
WiindU
Just call it the 'Messiah'. That's what it practically is
the 'Umote'and the u always has a capital letter
The U-niversal Pad/ remote. Because it does everything.
The Free Pad. Free of the TV and all that.
The U Scriin? I don't know.
Or maybe the Nii-U controller, ha.
Btw I'm Youssef from FB so don't you think that I've copied them! Dx
the Ultra-Super-Mega-Wii-U-Controller (or USMWUC for short)
Uplay, Wiinteract, rUmote, Striim.. Mine are from FB too, so i haven't copied any
The UView as part of the gimmick behind the new controller is that you'll be able to view games from a new perspective =)
The VU. V U, view. Lol puns
i would expect anything with U in front of it to perhaps infringe on the UDraw tablet, depending on how arsey teh company is. Also Vu may infinge on the cinema firm or am sure there is some film streaming service with a similar name and maybe the VMU off sega's dreamcast
i like idea of 'U-view' pad or just the 'U-C pad' as in 'You See' since nintendo like play on words
U touch
My suggestion for the name of the controller is:
'The Joytouch Pad'
N Tab. short for nintendo tablet
The UCanTouchThis.
The UiNteract
The U God - after all its going to be awesome!
Skymote.
The skies the limit.
The Nitro, I cant belive they didn't call the DS that...
The Wii U screen-pad
How about: "WiiUc" As in, We you see! (because of the video chats and front facing camera), and of course when someone comments on what that strange controller is you can say- it's the WiiU see! Also the C could stand for controller (WiiU Controller)! Also you can use the WiiU controller to "see" things around you because of the screen and gyro, so with the Wii U (can) C (into the game)! Finally the WiiU console can "see" where the controller is and stream to it (maybe pushing it a bit with that one
) Also an alternative to that would be WiicU, same as above just a bit more ominous.
If it hasn't been suggested, how about the ushare pad? U as in you can carry on playing it when others want to use the tv, but you share it when playing certain games, like the chequers game in the advert at E3.
Then again, it could simply be called the wiiu pad...
Wii U controller, let's follow the trend from the Gamecube controller!
but nah seriously, what about the Nintenview. or the UUser. I dunno.
I've been calling it the "UTab"
It's a WiiU Tablet so naturally gets shortened down to that, and it wouldn't surprise me if the official name takes a similar approach.
The "Ultima-board" or "U-board" for short.
I think it should be called the uPad.
In other news, i think it'd be cool if it was the WiiTouch or something.
I prefer my first suggestion.
U Pad.
i have 3...
the nintendo portal,
the ip (independent portal),
or the iw (independent window).
i feel that the slightly techy name will attract the hardcore market.
How about the uTab?
Makes it sound light and easy to pick up and play, also it's just a tab of the wii (like on internet browsers), and isn't a complete console, which uPad makes it sound like.
Edit: Beaten too it. That's what you get for thinking too hard!
i like the way the name "wiindow" looks but not how you say it. so i would call it the gamepad. that is how i will refer to it however its called. i refer to the wii remotes as remotes and i shall refer to the wii U's gameplay screen pad as the game pad...
scWiin would be the pun based choice, like Wiimote.
But really it is likely to be called the Wii U Screenpad.
RevolUtion.
Boom
How about just vision? or U vision?
to be honest i think it will just be called 'the controller' or 'the pad'. the remote is only called that because it is a remote.
but i want to win a batman game so i am going with 'the second screen'. or maybe 'the dual screen'. how about if i just call it 'the bottom half of a giant ds'. you can have that one nintendo.
Chiming in with the obvious 'uPad'.
The U Tab. It's simple and after all, it is a tablet.
And here I thought Nintendo were pretty clear that it's not a tablet
The Big U
Much like Big T
BOOM!
The Dimension
Wii Union, meant to sound like reunion and reunites gamers who left Nintendo with current Nintendo fans
The Nintendipad, Tsugirev or the Ultra Mega Awesome Super NES.
The Wii Urs
Cause it's yours =D
uPortal
U Wiindow
uTilise
uMote
uScreen
The "icU": INTENSIVE CHEER UNIT
The Wii U pad controller!
the tena lady ( Wii Pad)
( The Nintendo Etch-a-sketch ) ftw baby!1
WiiPad, UPad, Umote, WiiControlU, Utroller...
the
SLAB OF AWESOMENESS
Nintenpad
Wii Wii
I think the fully name is going to be Nintendo U-Pad.
What about the 'U-Mii? (you-me)
Y'know, the console called WiiU but when you transfer the game to the controller for a more one on one experience you're making a private gaming session - hence U-Mii or Mii-U?
Wiigee board/pad
Wii U Play
'cos it sounds like "Will You Play?" , and could be "Which way Will you Play?" referencing the other control methods too.
Revolution, RevolUtion or URevolution. The U in URevolution could stand for different things, just like the U in the consoles name. UniversalRevolution?
WiiViewr
Or WiiUViewr
ScWiiN
WiiScreen
Wiimote Ultra
Wiimote DX
Wiimote Touch
WiiTouch (sounds dirty, eh?)
The Wii TabUlet
1) The U
2) The UStream
3) The USwitch
4) The UTurn
5) The UDrive
Wiivoid or U-void
The U-Buddy
UView
Wii swap
It should simply be called 'The Extra Dimension' since that's the whole point of it - to add an extra dimension to home console gaming, similar to what the 3DS has done to portable gaming.
The U-Nite! very cheesy
I think apple would sue Nintendo for that...
It should be called... the wii eye
The U - mote Touch
Well, since someone already said Portal, I would have to go with the ViiU.
The Nintendo UPlay controller
The Ultipad or Ultimote, as in ultimate. Sort of sounds a bit like utility too, and it can be utilised in lots of different ways. Actually yeah, Ultimote works pretty damn well, even if I do say so myself. I'm happy with that. Doesn't matter what Nintendo call it, that's my nickname for it from now on.
THE ULTIMOTE!
How about... Leather Belt.
The super wii mote, because it is like a super version of the wii mote. It has a big screen that sort of reminds you of something super!
wiipad,upad or wiiupad or even padwiiu
What about UPlay?
the siiu to say that you can see the game on the controller
It could be called wii u controller or Ninpad
The Tuch? Utroll or Utroller? Maybe the Handii...
The wee wii.
Basically just a tiny wii.
I came in here to say the "uView" but it seems two others have already suggested that xD
So time to make one up on the spot, err....
"uControl" - Nice and to the point, but also in regards to that in some games the user sort is in control (by which I mean sort of like the Killer Freaks multiplayer), with the "u" pertaining to the person using it
...although after saying that it has to be said I still prefer the "uView" haha.
Easy-peasy. It should be called Wii-Use!
Maybe the WiiPad!!!
Fernando-Gonzalez José Rodríguez García or failing that the U remote or the U pad
I KNOW!
The WiiWii Remote!!!!!!!!!
Or the Stream Remote
The U-Sync
^That.
I think they should go R.O.B style, and call it the Tall order Mote, or T.O.M
My proposed names are:
Unison
Insense
Ripple
Ushimmer
WiiUlong bay (Halong Bay-Vietnam)
Wiipee+
Uluru tablet
wii need no tv
Here's some ideas:
U-Touch
U-Pad
U-Control
Wii Control
Wiimote Touch
Hope U like 'cause Wii like.
The U-View.. simple and explains it
Wiistream or Ustream because of the stream abilities
Hey.... I stream, Ustream, wii all stream for Ustream!!
Wiiscreen.
The Panorama.
The U control. basic and simple
another idea! the U win because U don't fail!
everyone has some great ideas but i only got 2
1.U move
2.Uvolution
U-Screen
U-Tab
Instead of i pad
U Piid
Ursome
The WiiS. As the buttons and features of the New controller are similar to those present on the 3DS.
U Control or Wii See U
WINNER RIGHT HERE, WINNER RIGHT HERE, WINNER RIGHT HERE
The Umote
Seriously, I've slipped that in to almost all of my post over the last few days hoping that it would catch on......
The Ugasm.
oh no...... (see my above post)
The Puu
"Wii Tablet" short and simple
The DSX,
because it is dual screen, to the extreme
The one for the gamecube was called the wavebird:
Tying in with the touch screen and the tech demo they showed: ................................................................................................toUch"WII"gle
You know like a touch screen and an eagle?
*i'll shut up now*
Wii U Touch Remote
Wii U touch screen remote
Wii U TSR
Wii U remote or the UR
Wii URS which stands for Wii U Remote Screen
The Wii U controller
Nintendo Multi Screen
Nintendo MS
YouMote
UMote
UPad
UScreen
WiiUScreen
Wii Screen
All I could think of :/
I was hoping for ryu, M Bison Ametaretsu or Megaman/Chun li
U - All it needs to be.
The Wii I (Pronounced "eye")
The Ureflect, it's like a reflection of the television screen.
Cafemote? not really! how about instead of Ipad, the Upad?
UTouch
Wii Tii Vii
Mini TiiVii
Streamote.
The US, or the Mii, or the Them.
If Nintendo goes down this selecting nouns for people, well then so can I!
i think it should be called U pad touch or U tab touch (i claim these names mine)
the wii u tab? since its like a tablet? or the tabwii? wii tab? some variation?lol
the very new and sophisticated wii controller which allows you to stream games from the screen to the controller
WiiPad -> A take on Wii and iPad, simple. Or you could go with UPad, for a similar idea.
UView -> similar to some other ideas, incorporating the large screen (well, ish) and part of the console's name.
Wiiudraw just to stick two fingers up to THQ?
the gay boy because they can't use game boy lol
Ustream, I'm sure, is a website.
I'm going for the following.
Uflow
Upad (Maybe not)
Usurge
Utablet
How about Upod. If no one has said that yet
Here are some of my ideas: (Sorry if some of them have already been posted)
1. Go-Wii or Wii-Go
2. U-Touch
3. U-play
4. WiiBoy
5. U-Port
6. Wii-Share
7. Mii Wii
UPlay - because there was an emphasis at E3 of 'wii' - playing together and 'U' - single playing
Uniique. (You neek. Maybe Nintendo Uniique, Or Wii Uniique. WiiUniique. Uniique controller. Dunno)
)
Quite simply because i have never seen anything like it. (Sorry if it has been sugested i havent read much above posts.) You know, look at Uniique. Pick up the Uniique. Wow, i have a Uniique. flip the Uniique to flip pancakes! (bad idea) (hmm... not that good saying it aloud, doesnt sound like it has anything to do with Nintendo, or like a controller. Meh i tried.
the wii U woman controller . because it can muti task. and this would be every mans dream .
or the wii U Muti-task controller
How about the...
TabLiite?
play on words with light, tablet and the wii's signature double i.
Why don't they just not give it a name,everytime someone wants to talk about it they have to wave a picture of it about or something
The Wiivbird (Remember the Wavebird?)
What about the P.U.P. (Personal U Pad)? You know, because there was an emphasis on it being tailored to suit you personally... You could even put Wii in the name and call it the P.W.U.P.
U look, would be my choice
the uremote or the utroller or the uwheel or the utv
U-view
Ustream? Because 1) it was one of the possible names for the console and 2) it can stream the game to the controler
Wii U fun screen
ViewU or uMote
Seeing as it does so much that the other console controllers can't yet match, it should clearly be called the 'U Jelly?', and a massive troll face should be plastered across the screen.
Only problem with Wii Tab is that when its gets to teh 9th itteration it'd start sounding like a breakfast cereal
(think about it....)
U-niversal WiiMote
U-Go
U-Sight pad
That was possibly the most obscure joke I've read in a while. Kudos. They'll just have to avoid Roman numerals I suppose
wow, many people use my username to think of a name for the controller, even on Facebook O_O
Remote pad?
maybe"
The Etheral ToUch Bastion.....
Guys come on, it is obviously going to be called "The Pii Pii Wii Wii" and thats final.
Inspector Gadget, it does a lot!
The WiiUmote.
Bigger-than-all-other-remotesPad. It's a like and iPad and The thing looks huge.
The Nintendo Touch aka TNT bringing every explosion into your hands...?
I would go with either "U View" or "U Pad"
Console Name = Wii U
Controller Name = Wii U Niq or Nix
The Stream pad
Why not call it a 'u-Tablet' or 'u-Tab'
the iWii?...
The Wiiev (View)
Sorry if i say the same as someone else but i haven't read through them all....
How about just calling it the Pad? it's simple, it's easy to say, you can imagine someone watching their friend on Mario or Metroid and going, "Oh come on mate, you're rubbish, pass us the Pad and see how it's really done!" etc.
Or if Ninty feels like being a bit more eloquent, they could call it CHRIS (Cool Hardware Interface System).
Or if they feel like being all serious and wishy washy, I'd say the NUexperience (Nintendo U, see what i did there?)
OMG Sorry it was just a coincidence! Oh and btw I am the same guy from FB xD
Wii U - Taurus!!
You read my mind!
That or Wii U Touch Controller.
How about Ucontrol or else Usee
Uview
UPad
WiiPad
Wii Puu?
