Oh. My. God.

The Nintendo Revolution has a new name. A very, very, stupid name. I was just starting to get my hopes up for a system, a system controlled by waving your arms in the air. A system that will probably need three or four accessory controllers to be able to play any games. I was just starting to get excited about a system that would let me play ( Read more... )

They couldn't come up with a real name for the DS, which was supposed to be a codename, and now that they have a real name I can get excited about for a console I've been excited about for a while, they kick dirt in our faces and say, "Bend over, Metroid fan! You too, Zelda-dude!" What the hell, Nintendo? What the hell?

The irritating ones in the geek crowd will never miss an opportunity to say "Hey guyz! We should go play on the Wii! HA HA HA! *snort* What are we doing? HA hey guys get it? Wii? Ha ha ha" I'm glad I got off this sinking ship.

I honestly chuckled when someone suggested that eight or more people can all bring their Wii to a friend's house, hook them up together, and play all night. But it will get old, FAST. Same with Wii will, wii will, rock you. And Japanese doesn't even have a Wi sound (phased out in the forties) so it will be pronounced Uii (oo-iii) and that sounds weird.

And Max, I know that lots of people including you are going to be in line on the first day even if it were called the Nintendo Moldybreadbox. You are down in the dirt begging for whatever it takes for a new Metroid. And I'm not down in the dirt just yet; Wii is that major a setback.

I bought my cube in 2002, when they cut the price and started throwing in free Zeldas and Metroid was down to $20. It's entirely possible I'll do the same thing here. I'm the dude that buys things a year after they come out and then complains about how good games don't sell well. On the other hand, if I have a decent summer job and can get trade-in credit for said cube and keep playing the games from it, I might go for it. My main fear is the lack of a gameboy player. How lame would it be to have to have to play my gameboy games on an actual gameboy? On the other hand, how awesome would the Nintendo Moldybreadbox be? I would love that. It could come in grey and green, and have a smell-emitter like in that thing Febreze makes that makes smells come out of it. You know, the thing they have on TV. That would be sweet. It could have a clock, like all the systems seem to do now, and if you didn't play it or buy new games after a couple weeks, it would start to smell to let you know. Maybe you could even collect different molds ( ... )

Are wii still fighting? I can't take the silent treatment! Wii're too strong to fall apart now. Wii can't let it end like this

They should have named it the Lawl instead.

Also, no parent will be able to pronounce it correctly, and Best Buy employees will cry a lot at Christmas
