Introducing... the Nintendo Wii

[Cowutopia]

I'm just going to call it "Nintendo." It plays all those nintendo games, so I might as well.
It's been a long time since I could just call something the Nintendo. I'm looking forward to it.

Nintendo making games and Monkey Ball have me sold as well. God I want Monkey Ball...

Let's hope it's more like Monkey Ball 1 instead of 2. MB2 was too gimmky with all the switches, part 2 involved more luck than skill. Also, please Monkey Ball Wii bone crunching hard like MB1.

and btw, A new Baseball Monkey Ball mini game where you have to swing the Nintendo controller to bat would totaly rock!!!!!

and last, make it online.

I want a sequel to Advance Wars called Wii Wars.

you just know it's coming.


edit: I wanna pre-order the wii and PS3 the moment they go on sale. Let's just hope that EB doesnt force shitty bundles, if it includes the games i want, im all for it, since the import stores in the UAE would sell them for an arm and a leg anyways......also both systems would perfectly compliment by 46"(or 50, 1080p) Sony Bravia just intime(with HDMI)

EDIT: first game i would download on the Wii is TG16 "Ninja Spirit"

They will.

On that note, E3 can't come fast enough. I want to see some Wii crap, damn'it.

I won't know about that, Jeremy. I'd rather say any of the latter over the former any day.

Anyway, this whole "The Wii" ordeal reminds me of what Andy Rooney said about good writing. He said good writing won't pop out at you as good writing; it'll flow so well that you wouldn't have to stop and say "Wow, that's good writing." When you actually end up doing just that, it's no longer "good writing" but "pretentious writing."

Andy Rooney's writing makes me stop and say "Wow, that makes me want to kick you down the stairs and toss your walker after you, you brittle old bitch."

Which category would that be?

do you think pre-orders will begin once info/prices are announced at E3?

Shortly after at the latest, yeah.
I'm thinking Gamestop/EB will start taking preorders in mid-May or, at latest, early June.

I seem to remember them taking preorders for the 360 a few days after that MTV special.

No. The days of seperate territories are long gone. It's all about global brands now.

The two ii's in the Wii symbol look like the symbol on the door for the guy's bathroom.

Ii means 'good' in Japanese. It was likely that multilayered meaning that sold them on it.

Did you ever see Ali G's interview with Andy Rooney?
