I’m going to crush you like I crushed you in tennis.

No, Michelle, you crushed him in a simulation of tennis. The only game or sport that you can really play on a computer or video game console is chess. All the rest are just pretend. Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs notwithstanding, if a man and a woman of equal playing skill played each other in tennis the man would most likely win due to faster serves (greater upper body strength) and higher speed (men are faster than women).

Nothing says “eat my shorts” like a .50BMG headshot from a mile away ;-)

I was more of a Han Solo blaster kid, not a namby pamby Jedi…so prancing around my living room waving a Wii-mote around doesn’t pump my nads… $0.02

Who here hasn’t wondered how they would fare against the likes of Piston Hurricane, Bald Bull, and Super Macho Man?

We’re going to have to figure out how to get Allah one, so we can all play online.

If you bought Allah a Wii; he’d just hock it for an iphone :P

I really have to give Nintendo some credit for coming up with their controller system that lets you interact with games much more than moving your fingers around. If only Microsoft had such innovation, they could have had something similar for the 360, but given their history, they’d have to wait for someone else to come up with it before they can steal emulate it.

Playing a game like “Bioshock” would have been much more fun if I was able to interact like people are able to do on the Wii.

What is it with you people and Microsoft “stealing”? Nintendo and Sony “stole” the controller too if you wanna go that route. Actually, Sony literally stole their controller design, got sued and lost. I like the xboxes’ controllers. I couln’t care less about originality because when it comes to controllers MS made the best I ever had the honor of wielding.

Wii sales are gonna double on this news.

… and because my kids so desperately want one, so will their chore list.

It definitely makes me want one. But I wonder how it’ll work. Can you keep fighting after it lops off an arm or leg? And if so, how long until that becomes Black Knight-ish?

It’s a virtual flesh wound ;^)

Once bought an XBOX, but sold it two months later…

But the Wii…I knew it would be a good buy. That sucker has been will be keeping me entertained a long time. :)

I will have to admit that the commercial industry does a lot more for Star Wars geeks than us Star Trek geeks. I guess if given the choice, I’d opt at keeping us Trekkies on the cutting edge of science than on the cutting edge of wireless controllers for Jedi Legomen!

It’s kinda hard to get a Wii controller translation for ‘we don’t need to fight, let’s find a peaceful solution.’

We’re going to have to figure out how to get Allah one, so we can all play online.

I think he’d rather have an IPhone, MM. Now that they’ve cut the price by $200, do you think you can swing it for him?

The future of the world depends upon it.

We’d have to set up a Hotair matchup on Super Smash Bros.

In the future, all global conflicts will be settled via Super Smash Bros. Brawl. And Fred Thompson will be an unlockable character.

Speaking of which, I’ve gotta set up my DS for online play…

Mario Kart DS awaits… (revs engine tauntingly)

Hint for the boxing rematch; Michelle, use your speed and don’t try to punch with Bryan.
