GAME | Wii - "Sheer, unaldulterated, peerless & incalculable fun!"

"Strangely, that was the first thing that came into my head watching the promo video for Nintendo's new console, the wondrous, wacky and weirdly monikered Wii. The association, however, was somewhat turned on its head; far from transporting sound across the world, it was the act of making the music itself which I'd previously not considered, that now seemed so fresh and unique that I positively ached to get my hands on the machine - for here, in front of me, in the trendiest of central London locations, on a plasma screen TV the size of Tunbridge Wells, were moving images of a well-dressed twenty something not unlike myself (you wish! - Ed), making quite the rhythmic racket playing air drums… holding no more than a pair of Nintendo Wii remotes.

That was it for me. Sold; hook, like and sinker. In that single moment I went from sceptic to believer, and found myself wanting the machine more than fruit-named puffy dress-wearing princesses long for short dumpy moustachioed plumbers in dungarees. I'm such a sucker for hype."

"All in all, we could feel nothing but positive from our ninety minutes with Nintendo's new console. There really is nothing like it on the market, and as if to testify to this, watching two gasping be-suited forty-something executives duke it out on Tennis really was a sight to behold. Maybe there IS something in Nintendo's 'New Gen' slant, after all."

Anyone that uses stupid sized words to say 'good' is a prick.
