Whee! It's Wii!
Some people are getting a little over-excited about the launch of Nintendo's new Wii (pronounced "Weh") gaming system on November 19. Of course, with any new system it is the games that really matter, and it sounds like Nintendo is really bringing out some blockbusters. Here are a few of the games they have lined up:
1. Luigi's Tax Master 2005
If you are still working on your 2005 taxes, this "fun" and "educational" game will help you find all the available deductions with the aid of a master plumber.
2. John Madden's Find the Remote 2006
Video fave John Madden has lost his remote control! You are cast in the role of Madden's lackey as you have to search his filthy tour bus for the lost remote control. It may be in an old pizza box, a pair of enormous underpants, or even under Madden himself! The audio features Madden's voice barking out directions and threats. Also guest-stars Bobby Knight and Dom Deluise as Madden's visiting friends.
3. Lego Borat
Following up on the success of Lego's Star Wars games, now Lego has transformed the cast of the hit movie "Borat" into mini-figures who re-enact all the scenes in the movie. Fun for kids of all ages!
4. Grand Theft Auto 5: Homemaker!
The latest installment in the Grand Theft Auto series allows you to take on the role of Martha Stewart, who has a host of demonic financial and culinary tricks up her sleeve. If you advance to level 12, you are allowed to take on Donald Trump and three of his ex-wives.

OK THAT was funny. IN a former life I was a guest relations agent for Game Crazy. These 40 + year old guys would call up totally urinary that they did not get their playstation stuff or whatever. I do not GET those games.

Considering the rest of your article is satirical I hesitant to say, but it isnt "weh" is really is just "wee"

So what's the difference between WII (which I would pronounce as WHY??) and Playstation 3? There were a bunch of homeless guys camped out in front of the local Target last night waiting to buy the PS 3.
Of course, this is a purely academic question, as I have no interest in video games other than the "old school" CENTIPEDE and PACMAN machines at the local ice cream parlor.

The PS3 is just the next generation console gaming system, with standard controllers and just a more powerfull capability, Whereas the Wii, instead of conrtollers, uses motion sensing interactive....well, controllers. But instead of pushing buttons and using analog control sticks, you swing around the sticks and whaver your using on-screen does the same thing. Imagine a highly advanced Duck Hunter, if you will.
