TOPIC: Nintendo Wii..... Weeeeee!!!!!!

Question: What is Nintendo thinking?!?!


Tricky Dick shall say:

I'm not sure what Nintendo was smoking when they created Nintendo Wii, but hope it's for sale....somewhere on my block. These turkeys decided that it's a good idea to make a physically interactive gaming device? Morons. In case you're unfamiliar (hi, I'm Dick, now we're familiar), this little guy has a couple of wireless ninja toy looking motion sensing, controlling devices which you swing around like a jackass in order to play some of the games. Does Nintendo realize the crowd they're playing to? There are two types which make up the majority:

Type 1: Consists of people of which the reason most of these people are playing these games is to get the warm feeling of the abilities of a superhero or sports star because they themselves cannot chew gum and walk without knocking the power down in a small metropolitan area. These people are just going to realize once again how terribly untalented and uncoordinated they are and probably cry themselves to sleep after a few shots of drain-o.

Type 2: Consists of people of whom are so morbidly obese or plain fucking lazy that they would rather do just about anything besides physical motion. "I have a brilliant idea! Let's get them to do physical motion! They will learn to love it!".....no, no they won't, but they will learn to hate you for thinking like Richard Simmons. You will need to head in the other direction for these people to buy your shit. Maybe create something where they can play simply by thinking about playing. Work on that.

Your thoughts?

Sorry about the delay tricky... I decided, like an idiot, to go hiking around on Mt. Hood for a couple of days and to my surprise got caught in some unfavorable conditions. I agree, I think that Nintendo may have made a poor financial move here by possibly alienating its core-base, but they are still a step a-head of Senator Kerry who alienated the entire base by calling the military a bunch of underachievers... Wasn't he in the military? Anyway... that's old news. While this may hurt Nintendo, I believe that it is good for society. Finally those guys in computer labs everywhere will have to come to the realization that thumb coordination and an inordinate amount time spent behind the flicker of a game-console may no-longer be enough to separate the boys from the boys. Now they'll have to flail their arms around and really look stupid. Hard to play Wii and look like a badass. I hate those little fuckers in the back of the room always talking about how good they are at video games. Now maybe this gives the average Joe a step up.

Average Joe -- individual who uses arms for more than connecting thumbs to body. Play video games for fun on occasion rather than primary source of self-esteem.
