We do according to a local Baltimore station.  ABC2 News had a recent story about sports type injuries caused by the Wii.  The problem here is the news outlets, if it causes any kind of worry whatsoever…print it.

It’s old news by now that TVs have been broken by flying Wii Remotes and people have received minor injuries from aspiring major league batters.  Now people are hurting themselves because they pitch too hard.  According to the report, one guy was out of work for over a month because of his injury.

Fear mongers rejoice, you have  a new target.  The Wii could put someone out of work for months.

P.S. Don’t let go of the Wii Remote when you swing.

Check out Nintendophiles.  It’s a pretty cool read and has lots of quick little news items.

Bet you have never seen the Super Mario Bros. Super Show like this:

From Gamasutra:

Analysts have explained a possible reason for the low Wii sales this January. Japans Wii Fit and Brawl sales may have a lot to do with it. The small lead over the PS3 is likely due to “the diversion of Wii units to Japan to support the launches of Wii Fit and Super Smash Brothers Brawl.” according to one analyst.

Either way, the PS3 sales are picking up. The 360 is lagging far behind, but Microsoft had an explanation for that. No idea who to believe at this point, but hey, that’s the way sales works.

News from Kotaku:

Looks like Death Jr. is going to be on the Wii.  After a couple of PSP games and a DS game we will be seeing him on a console.  It is said to be a port of the original PSP title with slightly updated graphics and controls to suit the Wii.

I appreciate the support that Nintendo is getting, but give us a totally new experience.

News from Gamepolitics:

As you have all heard by now, some dipshit opened fire on a bunch of students. I hate stories like this for two reasons.

1. I hate it when innocent people die

2. It’s more fodder for self-proclaimed video game violence “experts” like Jack Thompson.

We all know that blaming video games for this stuff gets these “experts” TV coverage, but come the hell on Jack. We don’t even know a whole lot about this kid except for the fact that he actually had a pretty good track record. He claims to already know the cause of this? Video games. Why am I not surprised.

Most of the people who do stuff like this are already off their rockers. I don’t think it’s fair to blame video games for violent behavior. I that’s right, violence wasn’t invented until after Pong. Sorry, history was never my strong point.

Now, let me clarify, I can understand Jack Thompson’s stance on video games not being sold to minors. Still, that is up to the parent, and parents need to educate themselves. That is part of the responsibility of having kids. Still, in this case, the shooter was some 27 year-old dumb-ass who was fed up with his sorry ass life.  Is Jack Thompson going to try to take away video games from me too?

Sadly, he had to take the lives of people who were actually looking forward to living, and my thoughts go out to their families.
