V-virus?



I knew this day would come! I knew it!

*pumps shotgun*

Bring it Wii!

*a couple of minutes later*

Braaaaains!



Around the Network

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
Please, please
spreading the Wii's disease, living by its story
Knees, knees
falling to your knees, suffer for its glory
You will

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send the Wii money, send it green
Fun you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Bow to the Gaming Messiah

Marvel at it's tricks, need your Sunday fix
blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join the endless chain
Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send the Wii money, send it green
Fun you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Bow to the Gaming Messiah

Witchery, weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
set the trap, hypnotize
now you follow

Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send the Wii money, send it green
Fun you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat

Lie

So, then, what's a toy?

Something that's more fun than an entertainment focused product

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Watch out you're going to awaken all of the Nintendo nut huggers. 0_o
I can say from personal experience that many people in my life treat their Wii as exactly as described. It gets very limited usage.

The Wii has pretty terrible software as a whole and has made it's biggest mark in non-traditional / non-standard gaming types. (Eldery Homes, Women looking for exercise, etc) and the standard Nintendo core group, children.

It's software isn't getting gobbled up because it's so good, it's getting gobbled up because of the knowledge of the general consumer of Wii games.


And while I love Nintendo, the Wii and it's success has been somewhat shocking to me because like the Gamecube and N64 before it their third party support has been absolutely horrible as a whole and the system usually lives and dies by the vine of the core quality Nintendo games (Fill in your Zelda, Mario, Metroid series here).

The biggest explanation to me is simply that Nintendo has gathered old people, women, children and hey more power to them. Great way to make a profit and keep Nintendo in the top of the industry.

But my 90 year old grandmother loves knitting, watching lifetime, buying things from QVC, 1940s music....So while she might think Wii software is great and so much fun!!! The reality of the situation is that for the general crowd of gamers (12-40) the Wii is more often a less appealing option IMHO.

I know. It's like words just come out and he doesn't understand what they mean.

Also, it is not a machine for a games game. I guess it's a non-video game machine for non-games games. Shit, I think my brain just fell out of my head in protest.

Never will I understand some people's sheer hatred for this simple glossy white piece of plastic.

One of the great mysteries of life...

Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Is this supposed to be something new? It's just an another "hardcore" developer saying how "TEH WII R EVILZ!"
