Engadget Has Been Wrong On This Stuff MANY Times, I Highly Doubt That Nintendo Would Change Such A Highly Hiped Name To Simply 'Go'

Plus, Even Though Revolution Is A Code-Name, Nintendo Is No Stranger To Naming Their Console It's Code-Name...

Highly Unlikely...

The reference as to why it's "Go" is because it's "5" in japanese. As it's Nintendo's 5th console. NES>>SNES>>N64>>Gamecube>>Go?

It's most likely a hoax. But I think a name like "Nintendo Go" or "Nintendo 5" sounds cooler than "Nintendo Revolution"

And you'd be wrong in so thinking. =P

Of course, I thought Dolphin sounded cooler than Gamecube...

Yeah, Nintendo's Code-Names Always Sounded Much Better Than The Official Ones, Go Ultra-64

Oh, yeah, dolphin was much cooler than gamecube... Gamecube, X-box, and playstation alltogether... Too much box in all of those... Dolphin was MUCH cooler than gamecube... revolution, though? That's sorta cool... Go? Just sounds weird. Then again, that controler is weird, too...

I remember being excited for the "Ultra 64" Haha, that system had a bad codename AND a bad real name... 64... How original... Jaguar was a cooler name than Nintendo 64... Hmmm...

Jaguar... Wonder how much one of those runs on ebay, and what games were on it...

Quite possible.

Nonetheless, "Nintendo 5" sounds way cool :lol:

"Nintendo GO" was a fake system from quite awhile back. I believe it had to something to do with Miyamoto-sama wearing some sort of goggle-looking device that everyone assumed was the new system (which, as we [currently] now see, is not).

I do hope they stick with "Revolution", though. Awesome name. ^_^

N5 is better unless you shorten Revolution to Nrev as opposed to Revo.

Theres really no telling if it's fake or not. I guess we are going to have to wait till E3 to find out the truth. But if "Go" is the real name it will grow on everyone.
