If it speaks for itself then why did you have to leave an italicized comment about it? heh heh

What about playing on a 27" TV? Has anyone heard if that effects the gameplay?

EDIT: Because that's what I currently have in my gameroom. If I REALLY need a bigger TV, then the WII and XBOX360 are going to push me to get a new one.

The Wii will work just fine on TVs of all sizes. However, you should still get a new, bigger one. =)

I watched this from a front page post yesterday. The poor Mods - no time to watch the videos that are being linked these days. They should include a link to the first american nintendo commercial instead

haha, this is great. I was going to point out the rank immaturity of some of the comments posted on Youtube, but it seems I don't even have to go far! Thanks for making my job easier 'Thenetcase'. You are truly, truly, truly outrageous inasmuch as your cunning wit and bitingly satirical humour in regards to the next generation of video game consoles goes. Have you ever considered writing a book? Here's an idea - "Things that sound like other words that have to do with going to the bathroom". You and Larry the Cable guy could probably write it together, and then maybe do some funny standup and sell t-shirts and coffee mugs and pen holders to some good ol' blue collar American folk who agree with your arguably Conservative policy regarding the Nintendo Wii and maybe you'll get on Conan or Jay Leno or maybe Maury Povich, which would be even better because then you and the Grand Wizard of the KKK whose daughter is dating someone who has an Italian great-great-great-great-grandfather can talk about the Wii and how it rhymes with 'PEE' (lol am i rite) and how 'he don't cotton to no italians in his family or no CHI-NEES video games machines' and how when he was a kid things were better because in the south you could lynch people and then when it comes back from commercial maybe JUST MAYBE Maury will say 'and here's our special guest A GUY FROM EBGAMES' and you and him can debate the Wii until you're both red in the face and he starts to get really fired up, but let's face it, he's a fat nerd and you are megacock and your huge erection bursts through your pants and spears him in the throat and with his dying breath he proclaims the N64 the 'best system ever' and the KKK guy loses his mind because all of a sudden you're gay because your cock is in some dude and he shoots you in the chest and as you fall to the stage and Maury runs over and you see Grandma and Grandpa and Spike the Dog and Freckles the Cat and God and Jesus and Shiva and Napolean telling you to come towards the light, you scream the silent scream of terror which tears the veil of tears between this world and the next as you realize, that's not Buddha - it's Gunpei Yokoi, creator of the Gameboy, and he's been given creative control of all the entertainment in Heaven but even as you declaim Christ as your Personal Lord and Saviour in the odd chance God lets you go to Hell at the last minute, the fiery maw of that Blasted Furnace opens to give you a sneak peek, and you realize that the only entertainment in Hell is the Virtual Boy 24 hours a day, which Gunpei Yokoi also created specifically FOR the Devil, but God let that slide because the Gameboy was 'fairly kickass', to quote His Majesty, but wait! St. Peter says, here's your free controller to Gunpei's newest creation - the PeePee DooDoo.

ENJOY THE AFTERLIFE

Sorry, just to give credit where credit is due, here is a picture of Gunpei

I still think the Wii commercials are weird as hell. I wonder if I can sue if my eye gets knocked out playing tennis with a few people.

I can't be the only person who thinks that looks annoying as all get out. And those people were standing way too close together to play that tennis game. No way in heck that would actually work without them all banging into each other.

It looks like a fun novelty, and probably a decent party game. Sadly, I no longer live in a dorm, so most of my gaming is by myself after my wife goes to bed at night. And at that point, I just want to sit back and enjoy a game, not flail around like some fool. But apparently that's just me. I definitely applaud Nintendo for their willingness to take chances, but like the power glove, this just seems like a bad idea.
