Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably have heard that E3, the biggest game expo of the year is happening this week. It’s going to be an exciting week of news.

Well to make the Revolution renaming matters worse, Engadget is reporting on a leaked presentation slide for the Nintendo GO. Now, some are calling it the possible renaming for the Revolution. I think it’s more likely to be the name for Nintendo’s Online service. At least Nintendo might have the good sense to not boast about how their service will be Live, as Sony did last week.
