Wii BINGO
Thursday, September 20th, 2007 at 6:25pm by Jack
I discovered this gem of a WiiWare game waiting to happen when perusing Malstrom’s secret web site yesterday evening.
It’s something to bide your time as you wait for titles like Galaxy or Smash Bros. or even Dewy’s Adventure to hit your system.
It’s Wii BINGO! Before you roll your eyes, just hit the jump and see what this is *really* all about.

Nintendo is destroying the industry! |
When PS60 get price cut, Wii is through. |
|
Nintendo is abandoning the hardcore! |
When this game comes out, THEN the PS360 will take off! |
|
Nintendo not serious about online. |
Wii is just a party machine. |
Wii sells because it is cheap. |
|
Nintendo milks profit due to inferior hardware! |
|
Gamecube started well at first too… |
|
|
|
PS3 is on a ten year plan. |
|
Wii is two Gamecube systems put together by duct tape! |
|
|
|
Only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo systems. |
|
When HD adoption rate goes up, Wii is finished. |
Who cares about Wii sales? All the real games are on PS60! |
|
|
What happens when people get bored of Wii Sports |
I’ll let Mal explain this in in his own words:
Let us say you are reading your Internet news and, lo and behold, you stumble across some comments about the Wii. Smelling a troll, you break out the Wii Bingo and see if you can get a row!
For our example, let us try this interview from 1up.
In the end, this was my Bingo card:

BINGO!!!!! I got a Bingo! Granted, I could have put a mark for I:1 as well, but you get the picture.
There you go. A genius at work having a little light hearted fun.

Hah, awesome. I hate 1up.

My bingo card would be full if I take this to the Gametrailer forums.

Well-played. I suspect that you’d get many Wii Bingo “victories” reading the comments over at 1Up; the posters there seem to enjoy mimicking the site’s podcast crew..
(another possible essay topic?)
And on NPD days, you can play Wii Blackout!

LOL that’s great.

Best game ever… for ever.

I love how the interviewer just goes off on a tangent about what bad people Nintendo are in the middle of the interview, then ends the paragraph with a 7-word question.
September 20th, 2007 at 7:48 pm
the guy from the interview is making a good point. Wii is selling a lot, but the ratio of games sold per Wii sold is low. That’s a big problem for Nintendo!

@Atlantis - what is your handle on GT forums? I am on there as well, good to see another infendoite there.

To Miguel: That’s the same problem the PS3 has right now… minus the huge number of console sales.

Your just jealous cus the system you boght(overpriced PS3) isn’t selling well. The only people complaining about a wii are people that don’t have one. I think its stupid and childish(yes, childish as a wii.. i know what your thinking PS60 lover) to complian. Just don’t buy the system, don’t read news about it, concentrate on your system and shut the F up. Thank you. I got bored of wii sports ages ago.. there are other games.

Nice! Very well done.

InvisibleMan, you are also right… but still, it is a big problem… Nintendo cann’t depend on just two games: Wii Sports and Wii Play.

Miguel, can you say ‘Metroid Prime 3′? How about ‘Zelda’?
Or, in the next couple of months, you could expand your vocabulary to include ‘Mario Galaxy’ or even ‘Super Smash Bros Brawl’.
And that’s not even counting the great third party stuff that’s out (Godfather being one of my faves).
