Wii Warm Up: Wii humor
When it comes to the Wii, two things are pretty much undisputed: it's hard to find, and people make a lot of jokes about it. Everything from Wiimote-as-killing-machine to the name has been spoofed, and a dozen other things besides. But it's okay, bec...
The greatest Wii gamer EVER
We have to admit, we've seen a lot of people playing Wii. Young, old and family relatives all the same; people playing Wii is so engraved in our minds that we see it every time we close our eyes. Now, we have an image (right) that will destroy all th...

What to do with that old Wii wrist strap?

Rockstar's M-rated Wii console

Queen Elizabeth II on Wii: One approves

Wii Warm Up: Those old folks

Rumor: Old Nintendo franchise getting revived on Wii

Nintendo's Wii launch party (Universal Citywalk, LA)
