Girls Could Enjoy Wii

Jessica Figerosso wrote an article about girls in consideration with the Nintendo Wii. Dirty mind, indeed.

Ok, so we’re all used to the fact that by the end of this year we will all be the proud owners of a console which may or may not have been named after a waste product of the human digestive system. We’ve heard all the jokes, and lets face it we’ve all uttered the phrase “I wanna Wii on my lounge room floorâ€?. But, have you stopped to consider, that despite its name the now infamous console has certain, shall we say ‘advantages’.

For example, how many things can you do with your Xbox 360 controller. Well, I can think of a few things. You can.. um.. look at it. Admire it for its crisp white coating, shiney green Xbox badge and its 2 analogue sticks, also its uncanny resemblance to an F1-11 fighter jet that mated with a mutated squid. Well anyway you get my point. It doesn’t do all that much.

There are certain ‘features’ Satoru Iwata neglected to mention when he announced the Wiimote in 2005.

Now we come to the Wii controller, or should I say controllers. Firstly we’ll start with the Wiimote. Now the Wiimote is nothing exciting to look at, yes it’s white and I’m sure it will be shiney and smooth. It has a d-pad, some buttons and a speaker. But it’s not what the Wiimote looks like that matters, it is its sheer design brilliance that ensures it features in the wet dreams of geeks around the globe. Gone are the days when one needed two well proportioned sticks, cricket stumps, chopsticks or a metal slide ruler to become a jedi knight. Geeks.. take heed.. the Wiimote could enable jedi warfare like nothing seen before.

Sexually suggestive? We think so…
