              Damned if you do, damned if you don't. They either ditch the branding of the enormously successful Wii and therefore start from scratch in mainstream brand-recognition, or they stick with the Wii moniker and have those same people think it's just an add-on for the Wii they already have.
              
              The problem is the "mainstream" audience doesn't follow gaming news, they don't know WTF, so Nintendo is stuck either way. And much of the "hardcore" contingent has disowned Nintendo for the unforgivable sin of pursuing something other than more graphics. I mean let's face it, a significant proportion of gamers bitterly resented the motion control revolution because their idea of progress is the same shitty shooter they played last year with a little more frosting on top.
              
              That leaves Nintendo fans. Will that be enough this time? I dunno.
