Nintendo wanted something that people could recognize and remember worldwide, in any language. Also, the intuitive marketing technique of people saying "what the hell, Wii is such a dumb name" ... "wait what's a Wii" seems to have worked.

I think it means Wireless Internet Interactivity. I could be wrong though.

Because you touch yourself at night.


It was probably a marketing sheme by Nintendo. A name like "Wii" is sure to get some time on the news.
