Probably!

New Super Mario Bros. is such a terrible name for a game. What's gonna happen down the road when the Wii and DS are retro systems?

I can imagine conversations like this:

"Hey man you play New Super Mario Bros?"
"What?! There's a new one?!"
"Nah I mean the one that came out 20 years ago that's called New Super Mario Bros."
"Oh."

Nintendo is the worst at naming things. It seems like a very stereotypical Japanese thing that gets made fun of. Like adding "super" or "kicky" or "#1" to everything. Next one will be New Super Kicky Mario Bros. Wii U #1.

Kirby: Super Star Ultra may be bad, but look at Capcom's Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition Home Edition. Also, at least Nintendo can make fun of themselves for it. Warning: mild Kid Icarus Uprising spoilers.

Wii-U is the absolute worst console name I have ever heard. I just want to push down a cliff the person or persons responsible for coming up with it. Wii comes in as a close second.

Who in the world ever thought to name a console the same as a slang term for urine, and then make the consoles successor be named after another slang term people say when they smell something awful??

Coming next, the Microsoft Shitbox and the Sony Smegstation.

Rumors say that it has potentially been changed to Nintendo U. I really hope so...

Considering all the years I referred to any Nintendo console as just "my Nintendo", a Nintendo console that was literally called "Nintendo" would be simple justice. They could launch the Nintendo Nintendo with Mario Mario bros, featuring Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.

It should be called Wii 2. Oh well.

I thought Wii was kind of a dumb name, but I got over it. At the end of the day, I couldn't really care less what it's called.

But yeah, if there's a New Super Mario Bros Wii U 2, that's a game that will make me wanna buy the console early. I'm gonna try and hold out for a while for this next coming generation though. I haven't even scratched the surface of this one.

And yes, what a dumb name for the game. When you're talking to some one, they don't know if you're saying "Hey, have you played the New Super Mario Bros Wii game yet?" Or, "Hey, have you played the new Super Mario Bros Wii game yet?" They should have named the original game Super Mario Bros. 4. Now we'll have these ass-backward titles that are annoying to spit out, and even more annoying to type out.

But oh well. Same as above, I'll get over it. I really don't care what it's called. I just wanna play it. :D
