Rumour: Nintendo Bluewave?
April 9th, 2006
There are rumours that are spreading quickly on the internet that the name of Nintendo’s Revolution console may be “Nintendo Bluewave”. This is based on the following:
1. The “Blue” Light:
2. The Ubisoft supposed Audio Leak in French: Click Here to hear it
3. Nintendo is following the “Blue Ocean” strategy and they released a wireless controller for the Gamecube called “Wavebird”.
4. Speculation started at GoNintendo.com and Here
UPDATE:
5. Fans will “wave” the controller around at the same time the controller sends “waves” to the console.
6. Microsoft decided that instead of naming its next-gen Xbox to Xbox 2, it went with Xbox 360 so it has the number “3″ included as part of a distraction against Playstation 3. Another point is if Bluewave was true, it also becomes a distraction for Sony’s “Blu-Ray”.
Nintendo Bluewave does sound like a name that “targets non-gamers” rather then a name like Revolution, which gamers everywhere like. Stay tuned as it develops.
UPDATE: After analyzing the audio a few times and trying to translate it it sounds mostly “gibberish” as if someone was picking out french words and recorded it to sound like he’s speaking french. The translation is probably supposed to mean “Ubisoft France Red Steel coming to System Nintendo Blue Wave”.
