revolution

 

If you have been playing video games as long as I have you at one time or another have owned something by Nintendo.  In the last round of consoles I bought the Nintendo Game Cube before I bought my Xbox.  They used to be solid.  Well they are changing gears.  They know they have lost to Sony and Microsoft and they are going after the more general casual gamer or those who don’t know they are.  Those people include your mom, grandpa and the like.  They are going to make games that are easy and fun for everyone to pick up.  They are also making a new controller that is motion based.  Rather than a joystick you just move the controller like you always see people do anyways.  My favorite is when people are playing driving games and are trying to turn harder by moving the controller in the direction of the way they want to go as if that will help.  Well Nintendo clued into this and figured lets actually make that work since it is second nature, especially to that casual gamer crowed.  The other cool thing they promised was the device will play all the old games they have ever made.  Sweet, I can play super mario brothers on my big screen.  For the entire development of this new console it has been called Revolution.  I think that is a great name.  Well the crack shot team of marketers announced the real name for the new console.  wiiLadies and gentlemen I give you Wii .  Wii?  Yes, Wii.  As in "we" will over come stupid names.  As is "we" got paid money to come up with this name.  Wii is pronounced like we.  Now I don’t know about you but when every normal guy hears a word like "we" not being used in the context like the last two sentences I think about pee.  For example I will use the new product name in the next sentence.  Good job Johnny on finishing your home work you can now go play with your wii.  If you are a normal guy you just chuckled in your head or out loud.  You are not going to be able to talk about this thing without mentally thinking about something else.  Oh well.  I am actually excited for Wii.  Looks like this holiday season we will have Wii in our hands, so start saving your pennies for Wii.  For more information about Wii go check out Nintendo’s Wii website . (Okay did it not make you think about pee again reading those last few lines.)
