In the meantime though, some videogame news was discussed today and I should probably mention it. First up, about a gazillionannouncements regarding the Wii U have surfaced since Nintendo revealed their Q4 financial numbers, and we're here to speculate on some new names for the Wii U. Over in RPG land, Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning has an online pass (WTF?) and Mass Effect 3's got a new multiplayer trailer and an excessively excessive amount of DLC. Last but not least, the Resistance series is officially in the hands of Nihilistic Software.
During the second half of the show, Max shows off some Photoshopped Pokémon crossover suggestions he collected from the chat during last week's live show. Needless to say, they proved to be quite the effective use of work time!

I second the "SuperWii", or maybe UltraWii/WiiUltra? At least it would be obvious that it's an improved version of the concept that is the Wii. I think they've probably already used WiiPlus somewhere. Unless they change the console's overally aesthetic (colors, style, etc) they should probably try and have Wii in the name somewhere for brand recognition.
