Title: I guess Nintendo really DOES have something going on with the Wii
Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 27, 2006, 02:19:09 PM: My female co-workers are actually stoping work and talking about the Wii, and one of them said they're going to buy one. Now she is trying to convince the others to buy it. They're all in the 30+ age range too.

"So, I went to the mall and you use the remote like a tennis racket to actually play tennis!"

Ah the gamecube portion of the wii is so intact that one can use action replay and sd loader to play emulators.

Of course it's getting positive press; all Nintendo had to do was go to mainstream editors and columnists and say WINK WINK HEY CHECK THIS OUT IT'S A CONSOLE FOR YOU NOT THOSE FUCKING NERDS AND THEIR HALOS AND GEAR WARS AND WHATEVER

Post by: Cheebs on November 28, 2006, 07:31:07 AM: I used to be such a extreme hardcore Nintendo fanboy. Soon as I start to get into 360 and overall be much much much less into video games they start dominating. Weird.
