Wii have a problem

Merriment and delight from the wonderful world of Wii: http://wiihaveaproblem.com/

Memo to serious gamers - get some grip tape, some climber's chalk and some weightlifter's tacky as well as a very strong lanyard. I predict all of these things, plus modified wiimotes (lightsaber? sword? bo staff? sniper rifle?) and costumes - good gods, Link cosplay at Wii Zelda tournaments - in the very near future.

And given Nintendo's wacky product line, with Nintendogs and the Brain Trainer, I also predict T'ai Wii by next autumn.

You already have two things - the wiimote and nunchuck. Sword and shield in Zelda. And in Red Steel, turn your arm and fire gangsta style, and it does too (and you miss everything).

But yes, headset. Broad space. Spotlight. Jedi robes.

Says she with the special Eye Toy gloves and balaclava!

Who whipped your sorry arse at Antigrav!

Hardly surprising with a special balaclava. :)

Precisely my point. Balaclava and gloves were performance-enhancing technical gear. Jedi robes are all show.

I can see a face off here. Jedi robed Gates vs. balaclava'd Bait. Coming to a You Tube near you...

If we were on EyeToy I'd win.

Unless it was the air guitar game.

No, I'd probably win at that too.

He's better at Wishy-Washy than me though ;)

Surely it'd be you and Xeeny in the robes, you Star Wars fanboys!
