I am very happy to report that I got my first chance to play around a bit with Nintendo's new Wii console last night, and it was a ton of fun. I think this bad boy is cool, though maybe I'm still basking in its novelty, and I'm sure Andrew hates it already for some inane reason.
In any case, if somebody offers you a chance to play with their Wii, you should take it. (Sounds so dirty!) I only played some of the Wii Sports games, but the way the remote interacts with your gameplay is a lot of fun.
But that's not really what this post is about. In much more hilarious news, Nintendo bundled, with the Japanese release, an *ultra-safe* manual intended to warn Wii users of all the dangers of the Wii, such as the fact that it can interfere with pacemakers (useful), or that if you dump an unspecified orange liquid on it, it might break (not so useful). Hilarious.
Even more hilarious, though, is this Flickr set, created by The Iconfactory that details all the missing safety warnings that Nintendo thoughtlessly omitted from their manual, including the fact that you shouldn't let your Wii drive a car. Check them both out, because I'm actually not sure which is funnier.
And play a Wii. Nintendo 4 life!

(A-mart)I cant even believe that you would think I wouldnt like this system. I believe it will revolutionize video gaming as wii know it. Noah and I have already been exchanging wii mail. Anybody who does want to play when they are in town come on over. I will be happy to throttle you in tennis.
I stand corrected! I was debating over whether or not your love for all things nintendo would triumph over your desire to hate things that are cute and darling like the wii so clearly is.
Also, I'm happy to see that wii're now using wii instead of we. It's about time.
I don't know about the wii, but one thing is clear: Your use of wii instead of we makes me hate the existence of human beings.
Earth to Sarge:
Wii wuv you!
Wiiiiiiii!!!!!!
does anyone think that japanese companies might have cottoned on to american facination with japanese manuals, and now they're Trying to make us feel weird?
