See? That can't possibly be the name of the system, but just a next-gen revision of a game.....that can be played with paper and pencil anywhere, anytime. Maybe we'll see Nintendo Tic-Tac-Toe? Or Nintendo Hangman?

And remember, 'Go' is 'Five' in Japanese (as someone already mentioned) and this is their fifth console. So in Japanese it would be liking calling it the Nintendo Five, which isn't so bad.]]>Mar 23rd 2006 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/

Just because a company shows a logo or an icon, doesn't mean its the name of it's latest product.

either way, i like it, fake-real or not.

or maybe it's a 4th way to playz0rrrr!!

That said I would lean towards this being the logo, if not the name. I like that "go" means 5 and this is their fifth console. It is simple with meaning, which is a cool Apple/Nintendo naming scheme. The logo is ultra simple, in this case looking like a 3D D-pad, which is very much in keeping with the Nintendo style of logo design. It incorporates the 3D aspect of their past few consoles' logos (the 3D 'N' for the 64 and the GameCube 'G') while tying in the past with the tried and true controller design. If you look at the DS's Nintendo logo with the double 'O' (to signify the two screens), you'll also see a push to have the logo represent a capacity of the system, which a DPad definitely does.

All said, I wouldn't be shocked if this is the real thing. If it isn't, though, Nintendo might want to find the person that mocked this up, because they have their finger on the pulse of Nintendo's marketing and could be very valuable to them.]]>Mar 23rd 2006 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/

But Go is also language as in ?????ni hon go).. maybe it is a nintendo translator for people playing MMORPGs in different countries! who knows. :-p]]>Mar 23rd 2006 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/Mar 23rd 2006 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/

base your flagship product on that..

terrible name.. "I'm looking for the Nintendo Go... " "Go?.. Go.. what?" "Or maybe it's the 60.. I'm not sure... "]]>Mar 23rd 2006 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/
Good point, but only to the extremely uneducated (as gamers, anyway). The logos lok nothing alike, and, for the XBox and Rev/Go, are not referenced by their logo (Playstation is in some ways, as their logo is the stylized PS#, which is also what people refer to it as).

Plus, in this instance, the logo and "Go" are not the brand. "Nintendo" is. The packaging of the console will be sure to feature both the logo and the name; I doubt it will be as sparse as your typical Apple packaging. Once again, I think this is different than Xbox and Playstation, where the parent companies are huge and involved in a number of different markets. Microsoft and Sony are not synonymous with games, xbox and playstation/ps2 are. Nintendo is only known for the one thing and have made their name their brand.]]>Mar 23rd 2006 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/

Man, I'm so excited about this console. I really hope Nintendo pulls it off.]]>Mar 23rd 2006 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/Mar 23rd 2006 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/
1. Nintendo has been pushing their new controller for this system quite a bit. The logo does resembles the dpad of the new system which happens to be the standard pad. Its also a shape already associated with nintendo, its just so familiar.

2. The 5th system being go would be almost a tribute to themselves. Like We've made it this far, showing off their long standing in the game industry.

All together I think this is real because it seems as if their marketing strategy has been to create nostalgia (dload of nintendo games) and bring something new to the table (the controller and this logo sums it up well.

Oh and in response to the person who mentioned nintendo taking ques from apples style. Yes they are trying to go with the white theme, but they wouldnt want ot be just like apple products. They need to distiguish themselves in some way, so that when u see a nintedo product you know it and dont mistake it for an ipod, or itablet. It wouldnt be good if every XBox fan boy was like " they so ripped their style off of apple."

I spotted a mistake in the (in my opinion) photoshop. Look at the text under the logo, then look at the text next to it (Japanese). If you would turn over the picture, so you can draw a horizontal line under the text, you will see you can’t draw a horizontal line under the Japanese text. (Hard to explain for me)

Another mistake: There is no (R)-trademark thingy after ‘Nintendo’.

Sorry, but it won’t be the name. "

This is what I typed at GoNintendo.com (how ironic), I would like to share my opinion with the fella's over here too.]]>Mar 23rd 2006 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/1. The name/Logo for the "revolutions" online/virtual console service (could mean GO, download, play sort of thing.)

2. A really good hoax.

However, I do think that as long as the english version becomes translated to the Nintendo Five I would love the new name.]]>Mar 23rd 2006 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/Mar 23rd 2006 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/nintendo-revolution-nintendo-go/
