MyWiiStory.com lets the sunshine in

Nintendo keeps the public relations love parade with the Wii going as they introduce MyWiiStory.com. The site is designed as a place for Wii owners to post "real-life anecdotes" about the way the Wii has changed their life. Like the time the Wii ran into the street and saved the family cat right before it was about to get hit by a car, or the time the Wii baked that amazing lasagna your in-laws are still raving about. "Everyone's a gamer and every gamer has a Wii story to share," said Nintendo's US Marketing Lead George Harrison, as he continued preparing to leave the company and contemplating whether he'll wear his tiny Speedo when he takes that trip to Ibiza he's always wanted.

The site isn't active yet, but feel confident in knowing it'll be comment policed to be only the happiest Wii place on earth. Expect the stories to be a demographic spread expounding the brilliance of the Wii. Some of the preview quotes we received were things like the mom who discovers video games for the first time with the Wii, or the bone cancer victim bowling again ... no, seriously, there's a cancer victim in there: "'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. ... Thanks to Wii I am able to enjoy one of my life's pleasures again.' -- Randy Bhaga" We can't wait for the Wii story that helped some kid come out of the closet or solve gang violence.

The Wii ruined my life!

The bastard slept with my wife and now she's pregnant! The whore! Hmmm... I hope the baby is a DS Lite.

Congratulations!!! It's a GameBoy!

Saving a cat followed by a lasagna reference - someone is a Garfield follower.

Really though, the idea of this site goes right past me. No console should inspire a posting of stories involving it. Hell, my 360 and ps3 got together and beat Odie down for barking at Nermal - you don't see me blogging about it. Until now.

Garfield was one my favorites cartoon when I was a kid... I even have the first two seasons on DVD.

Ahh nostalgy... =)

Anyone know when the North American Ninty confrence is? Tomorrow?

Mr Khan @ Oct 10th 2007 7:06PM

That would be nice, if only to give something more definitive for North American Brawl

Engadget was just featuring an article utilizing a Hair pic earlier. Conspiracy...

In other news...nice to hear about a story praising video games instead of pointless bashing.

Jeff @ Oct 10th 2007 4:24PM

I am so going to write made-up stories for that.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 10th 2007 5:01PM

It totally cured my fear of waggle. Now I'm always shaking my stuff everywhere I go. It also cured my clap twice.

Supino @ Oct 10th 2007 4:25PM

This will be bigger than myspace! I just can't wait to tell MyWiiStory.

- It all began one cold winter night. I was stressed out, should I vote "burgers" or "hotdogs"?! It drove me crazy. It wasn't just the.....

maybe not

So, now we know why N-Sider was canned.

carg0 @ Oct 10th 2007 4:55PM

when are they going to introduce more quality games? that's what Wii owners are more interested in.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 10th 2007 4:59PM

You hear about Smash Bros. buddy?

reppy @ Oct 10th 2007 4:59PM

Around the same time PS3 goes down to $300 and Xbox 360s stop getting the red ring of death.

tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 10th 2007 5:08PM

it's funny to hear nintendo fanboys come to its defense everytime someone says where's the games. Smash brothers is one damn game, ONE. You need more than 3 or 4 games for actual gamers a year.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 10th 2007 5:42PM

Not if it's Smash Bros the bestest game ever. That game will tide me over for the million years until StarCraft 2 comes out.

Also, in Q4 2007 the Wii is getting more games than the 360 and the PS3 combined, and more exclusives than those 2 combined. Statistically, they can't ALL be shit. Oh, and new exclusive online FFCC, online Dr. Mario, new online Mario Kart, and a whole metric fuckton of 3rd party games. Manhunt 2 in a couple weeks, then Mario & Sonic, then Guitar Hero 3, then Galaxy, then Brawl...
