built the wii...

[Ryano]

It started under the name Revolution and I'd say the development started about 4-5 years ago.

 

[Jensa92]

uf they started wii when GC came, then they should already have started on the next console?

 

[xtrapsp]

wow i never new any off that o btw hey all... umm diddnt the cube have a name b4 dolphin?

 

[Ryano]

No it was codenamed dolphin, I don't think there was a name before that.

 

[supersujay]

ya i think it started around 2000 or 2001 and they changed the name a few times before they came out with the name wii

 

[Ryano]

No they didn't...it was Revolution then the Wii, there were no other names for it...

 

[supersujay]

ya i think dolphin was a name at the start thou but not 100% sure

If I am not wrong Dolphin is the codename for the GameCube and Revolution is for the Wii.

The Revolution/Wii was being developed just after the GameCube launch, with the first 1-2 years concentrating on concepts and ideas, the next year building blueprints for the technical architecture, such as CPUs, GPU etc. The next 1-2 years would probably be spent working on the actual concept console and the controllers, and then showing the Revolution and it's controller in E3 05. Nintendo probably had a year before E3 2005 working on the first builds of Wii development kits and sending them out to developers, and then after all ideas were complete, the final result, Wii, would be manufactured and marketed by showings in E3 and other gaming media events.
