Wii U prototype codename

[Livvy]

How come the Wii U didn't have any cool prototype nickname? The Wii was The Revolution. The Gamecube was codenamed The Dolphin. Back before it came out, the N64 was known as Project Reality due to the fact that it was going to have, at the time, groundbreaking graphics.

So how come the Wii U didn't have anything like: The Revolution 2:This time it's Revolutionary?

This time they really didn't bother I don't think, everyone knew it was going to be a sequel to the Wii so for a long time people thought it was going to be the Wii 2.

But every console is just a sequel to the last one. Before the Wii U came out, a lot of people were hoping/thinking that it would be a total break away from the 'casual babby' games and more of a hardcore console.

The Wii U is like one of those direct to video Disney sequels though, like they use to release when you were a kid. You know the ones I'm talking about. I think that's what he meant.
