Right? I’ll never understand why they don’t go with Super Wii or Wii Advanced, as those were established “hey here’s the next gen of this system” names.

Despite the historical precedent, those two options sound even more like a mid-gen refresh than Wii U does.

The worst part is that Wii U matches previous mid-gen refreshes Nintendo had done.

The DSi was the same console but slightly better. Why is the U supposed to convey a 2 now?
