It's a good name but it doesn't sound that good in my language :sad:

The Z is an extotic edge.. hmm
Despite my campaign to keep revolution I would not be disgusted if this was real.
Though Nintendo probably releases hundreds of mock ups and things, surely they can leak.
Nothing is certain.
edit. can you really (R) register a squiggle?
edit2. i like how the blogger at the above link chose not to include this image which looks much less stylish, far less user friendly which remember nintendo is meant to be going for. and jeez what were they thinking with those fonts?
hell it doesn't even look like it works with the controller's wireless pointing.
i think it's a very safe assumption that the nintendo title screens will use the nintendo pointer A button to go down a menu and B to go back.. it will show off the controller and allow people to get used to it before they go into a game.

I hope this is fake. They would never make something so ugly. And I don't like the name even....

Yeah...I'm not believeing anything about a name or menu systems before Nintendo anounce anything officially anyway.

I'm so used to the name Revolution, if they decided to stick with that I'd be happy.

Even though Horizon doesn´t sound half bad, I would too. It´ve had the name Revolution so long now.

This logo is better than the Revolution-logo shown at E3. The z-part looks good, could look like something Nintendo would make. But the Horizon-text looks very cheap.

Hmmm, expand your gaming horizons eh?
1. The "Horizon" word has "TM". No company can trade mark a singular non-invented word. That's why "Sega Saturn" was TM'd "Sega Saturn".
2. Nintendo has not filed anything with trademark offices for either "Horizon" or the "Z".
This is fake.

I prefer everything we've seen so far to be honest, i really don't like this.

Only thing that comes to my mind when i hear Horizon is the Event Horizon movie.... man that movie rocks

Im not sure whats worse..Horizon or Nintendo Futurna...

Without a doubt this name sucks donkey phallus. Imagine a convo talking about what you're playing
Gamer: Hey I'm on my PS3/360
Gamers friend: Kool man. That or this:
Gamer: Hey I'm my Horizon.
Gamers friend: ?? You take LSD or mushrooms man?

It would be more like
''Hey, Im on my Hor''
and plenty of people dont mind saying that

Personally, although revolution is a bit on the arrogant side of names, they should keep it. Nearly every one i know is accustom to the name, why change it?

They should stick with it rev for now,but ill wait untill the real name is announced

Until Nintendo say what the name is going to be, I wont put faith on anything.
I don't mind the name Horizon but you can't really shorten it like: nes, snes, n64, cube, sp, ds, micro :P
It's a silly thing to think about but I wouldn't be able to say 'just going on my Horizon' it sounds wrong.. 'going on the 'rizon'...
:S 'going on the hor' <-- Actually that's not so bad.. :D
If anyone needs me I'll be on my hor! muahahahaha
[edit] didn't see pit's post :P he found out first :(

Ok I know thats worse than poor but still. theres potential

I like revolution but Horizon is actually quite a cool name. Of course its fake though.

I think the real name will be a boring name, telling that its a gaming machine.

Now be fair - it's a blog reporting from a blog. It's like double the lack of credibility!

You're kidding, right? No one remembers me posting how I thought that the Nintendo Horizon would be a cool name? I can't remember if it was on C-E or R-E, but I definitely made it. I can't be bothered finding the post, so you'll have to trust me on this one.

lol, i had to burst out in laughter because that's SOOOO fake :D
nevertheless give the guy the attention he wants ;)
Lol....its funny that people think if they put lots of noise on the picture, than they can trick people...
When will people stop doing that....(unless they have a 40-year-old camera and a very cheap scanner)

The name sucks, only an idiot would bother coming up with a stupid name and then make a picture (and dumbass logo) to go with it.
ViPeR
18-01-2006, 02:06 PM
Sounds well good, I want it!
Sounds a bit awkward to me, and the logo isn't very convincing either. I think it'll be called better - the name sucks in any German-like language, so that'll be a hell marketing it.

Im starting to think you started off this rumour now :D
Back on topic, theres been a few valid points already here to prove this is fake. The most obvious is the picture of its menu is so cheap and can be easily done, theres no detail.
I officialy am becoming sick of blogs, so full of crap...

that looks like a really bad mock up of some 14 year old photo shop experimentation. i would like to state that this is 100% fake. if it isnt then i will come back to this page and post a picture of me eating a hat. or any other suggestions that i might get.

Well, the bootup is kinda artistic...
Hope Nintendo will show screens a bit BEFORE E3...
It should and will remain being called: 'Nintendo Revolution'.
They can't change it now, surely? It's a revolution in the world of gaming! Keep it! So cool! :D

Lets clear this up
Big Tac is the name Horizon? Or something much better cause that name is SHIT
Sonic238
19-01-2006, 09:14 PM
you don't have to ask BigTac to know that this isn't the final official name of the console codenamed Revolution. Period.
