Everybody Loves the Wii

1up is reporting on Ubisoft's enthusiastic adoption of the Wii platform. They'd previously only had two titles announced for the system (Red Steel and a Rayman game), but now claim to have seven different titles in production. From the article: "Ubisoft North America President Laurent Detoc ... praised the Wii several times during the panel, stating that he expects it to have 'a large audience and market.' He also stated that he personally felt that in a time when fewer and fewer games appeal to him, the Wii offers plenty of enjoyment. 'The first time I picked up that sucker I couldn't stop playing it.'" Ars Technica is also reporting that EA is gung-ho about the system. From that article: "EA not only indicated that they are taking the Wii and DS seriously, but the company also hinted that they will follow Nintendo's guidance and release games at or near the $49.99 price point. Nintendo has urged developers and publishers to respect the $49.99 price point, believing that it reflects a value advantage over other consoles. EA did not offer a firm commitment to that pricing, contrary to reports elsewhere."

A game idea: NSFW

I just had a really sick idea for a game that would take full advantage of the Wiimote: Nintendo Bukkake 2006!

I'll leave the terrible details to your imagination.

Another game: Monica '95. There could be different mini-games... one where you have to aim for a specific location on a blue dress... another minigame where the Wiimote functions as a cigar... the possibilities are endless.

Don't even need the Wii

Haven't you heard about NintendHos for the DS?

Obvious joke

I've always felt that way about my wee also... ;-)
