Help Me Name My Cab!

[Ldsfunaz]

ok, im about 75% done with my cab and Its about time for me to Name her.
Heres some facts

4 player Nintendo Themed

gonna have Mame, Nes, SuperNes, Sega.....

gonna have a gauntlet style CPO w/ mario as player 1, Luigi as player 2, Link as player 3 , and ...i dunno maybe DK, maybe sonic(EDIT: ok not sonic...jees

[Mr. Bubblehead]

I really can't help you on the name, as I'm not a big fan of "MAME-whatever" or "whatever-CADE" cabinet names, that is so played out IMHO.

For the 4th player you should stick with a Nintendo character, to be consistent with the other 3.  How about Yoshi?

[Ldsfunaz]

i was thinking yoshi, but he is green,

so is luigi and link, so he is a no go,

thats why i am thinking samus, from metroid series, she is orange red and yellow

[stratjakt]

I'd go all mario characters..  Mario, Luigi, Toad and Bowser..  Or Donkey Kong, mayhaps.

Sega and Nintendo don't mix.

If you're going to put Sonic or Tails on there name it "gaychoice-10"

[Ldsfunaz]

Mario will have red and blue buttons
Luigi will have green and blue
link will have green yellow

samus would be orange yellow, if i go that route...

I'm not sure I'm gonna go with "gaychoice-10", being as that may be very disrespectful to any homosexuals who may play it.....

[stratjakt]

Avoid the whole dorky names like "nintendcade" or "mametendo" or "emutendo" etc.  Putting "super" in front of any of those names doesn't make them any cooler, nor would putting "64" after any of them.  Any name that starts with "X" or "i" is played out and way tacky.

Most mame cab names are cheesier than a Kenny G album collection.

Do the nintendo logo in the marquee. 

Just my two cents.

And most homosexuals aren't all that offended by the word "gay" and can take a joke.  It's just uptight PC types who are offended by just about everything.

Few characters here, how about star fox, i think either you go all with mario characters or one from each different game (eg dont have mario and luigi and then other characters)

As for the name of the cabinet thats a hard one, to be honest im like Bubblehead, all those names suggested dont appeal to me (sorry)

How about Nintendo AS (Arcade System) to mimick the Nintendo DS (I dont even know what the DS stands for come to think of it), im not even that keen on that one but atl east it gives you an alternative approach.

[Chemixtry]

I think we are onto something with the gay-choice 10. Mario looks a lot like the biker from the village people.

[Chemixtry]

A more serious suggestion - how about Funtendo Entertainment System

[daveg2000]

How about just call the machine 'Toadstool'?
 

[RayB]

I'd call it 'GAME BROS.'

[stratjakt]

Call it "Thank you Mario!"

and then in smaller letters underneath -
"but our princess is in another castle"

If I ever build a mame cab, I'd just call it "1337 0-s3c r0mz0rz!!1!!", but you cant use that name because I'm trademarking it before someone else does.

[Buddabing]

I echo the sentiment that you should avoid "MAME-" and "-CADE".

I like Chemixtry's "Funtendo". I am not creative with names I must admit.

[Ldsfunaz]

well, i know you guys were tired of mame, and cade, names, but i didnt expect this much negative critisism...

[whammoed]

Super Nincadeo

Keep in mind you'll probably find that everybody pronounces that "Nin-cad-dee-o". Then they'll ask you what a Nin-cad-dee-o is.

[Ldsfunaz]

Well, don't take it too hard that people are tired of the cade names.

[Skadar]

I agree with the post about having "MAME" or "Arcade" in the title.  I'm not a fan at all.  I like names that are just cool names like "Mission Control", "System 7"... stuff like that.

You should just take a Nintendo name whether it be a Character or a favorite game and theme it after that.

[Ldsfunaz]

here is the logo i got so far.... dont all puke at once

[ginno]

not bad not bad, you may have turned me, if your passionate about the name go with it, especially if your still keen on it after all the criticism.

are you going

[JB]

So am I too late to submit MAMETroid?

[Ldsfunaz]

ginno,
i think I am going to make it black, because doesn't the marque have to be dark to light up good, if it is white wont that not work, i dunno, never done anything like this before..

i was also thinking, black cab, with red T-molding.

JB,
its never too late, til I'm printed haha,
i wasn't really into metroid, and I'm trying to keep a more nintendo-ish feel.
good name though

thanks all
mike

[Mario]

I'm going to be naming my cab "Super Mariocade", so don't take that name (or at least don't tell me  )

Mario

[grueinthebox]

i dont see where funtendo is anybetter than super nincade-o...

Because it doesn't have "cade" in it. 

If you MUST go with something with "Super" and "cade", how about "Super Famicade"? 

And FWIW, I'd go with Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool for the CP - like SMB2.

[dema]

If it's a Nintendo themed cabinet, why not just use the name and logo?

Call it Nintendo and be done with it. No need to spruce up what already works.

[Ldsfunaz]

And FWIW, I'd go with Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Toadstool for the CP - like SMB2.

I was thining that.... but Link is too badass not to have not to have on the CP 

[grueinthebox]

[Skadar]

ROFL!  I'm dying here... that is so freakin' funny.  I'd hate to make him mad.

[quarterback]

Well, don't take it too hard that people are tired of the cade names.

[mo1e]

how about allstars arcade?

[theeric]

My 2-cents:


Super Marcadeio


or if you want to go shopping in mexico : supermercadio..

[SeanCyrusTowel]

Mario will have red and blue buttons
Luigi will have green and blue
link will have green yellow

samus would be orange yellow, if i go that route...

I like the samus idea... but instead of changing the color scheme so much, go with the Red and Yellow, since both colors are in one of the other controls.... then you still only have 4 colors, red, green, blue, and yellow each used on 2 players.

[DaFoo]

Mario Rama

[missioncontrol]

I give another vote for Funtindo

please not another MAME  'cade

[Havok]

What about Nintenaroids?

[NIVO]

INNUENDO   it just sounds catchy

[freakinshoe]

lol nintenaroids rhymes to much with hemroids. i like the super nincadeo. i know its played out and im a newb in mame also, but i like it if ur going with a nintendo theme. and if ppl dont like it so be it, ur the one that has to play on it and c it all the time.
