Answers to Question: What Does Wii Stand For

Quite a few theories exist that attempt to explain the question: what does Wii stand for. We'll address a few of the best explanations in this post.

Nintendo's official explanation for the name of the Wii is that it doesn't stand for anything. The name "Wii" was chosen because it sounds like the pronoun "we," thus conveying the family-oriented image Nintendo wanted to project.

Some gamers speculate that Wii stands for "wireless inter interface." This means that certain hardware, such as the Wii tennis racket, can connect to the main interface, or the Wii remote.

Nintendo originally planned to name the console the Nintendo Revolution. This name ended up being difficult to translate in many languages, so Nintendo instead went with Wii.
