Tell everyone about your Wii
And how it's changed your life.
Nintendo has launched a new website to let Wii owners share tales of how the console has changed their lives - whether because it offers after-dinner fun, a way to entertain 15 women at once or a cure for bowling injuries sustained through serious illness.
MyWiiStory.com allows you to post anecdotes, photos and videos extolling the wonder of Wii. Everyone is invited to join in whether male or female, young or old, proper gamer or Bejeweled fan.
"Everyone's a gamer and every gamer has a Wii story to share," said George Harrison, the one out of Nintendo of America not the one out of The Beatles who is dead anyway come to think of it.
"We want all Wii owners to go to MyWiiStory.com to further demonstrate the extent to which we have brought new players into the world of videogames."
Some people have already answered George's call, apparently. The website looked a bit wonky last we checked and we couldn't actually see any testimonials, but Nintendo helpfully provided some in the press release.
"I'm a 46-year-old mom, never really played any videogames. My kids are now 25, 22 and 19 years old," declared someone called Sue Leone.
"I am having a Wii party on the 21st of this month. We sent out invitations and I have about 15 women coming to try to play Wii." It's like a 21st century Ann Summers party!
A man called Randy Bhaga said, "I always liked to bowl, although I wasn't very good at it, but I had to stop 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with bone cancer.
"A few months ago we purchased a Wii and I was able to bowl again. We have major family tournaments and I have hit 'PRO' status. Thanks to Wii I am able to enjoy one of my life's pleasures again."
As for Katia Clark, "We are the house that everyone wants to be at because of the Wii. When we have dinner parties, the evening ends up in the living room for dessert, coffee and Wii. It has brought our family closer."
And finally, here's Jeanne Boutwell: "I bought the Wii to use for exercise indoors. People assume that it belongs to one of my sons and I get a kick out of seeing their faces when I tell them it's mine!" Jeanne, if you really get a kick out of this kind of thing, why not try repeating the exercise with pornography.
