Well, sort of.  Europe will have it before us. While the system is a little before my time, it should be great news for the older gaming crowd.

Make way for the Commodore 64.

News from Gamepolitics.com:

Some child advocates are saying the the Wii is violence training.  They have been saying this since Manhunt 2.  Their claim is that the Wii Remote allows us to act out the actions seen in the game.  We all know that hitting the B button on the Wii Remote is just like pulling the trigger on a gun, in fact, I don’t even have to walk anymore, I just use an analog stick.

Violence has always been around, even before video games.  It was in the Bible, it was in Homer and it still exists today.  I have been playing video games for years, and I am not immune to violence.  I feel horrible when anyone dies, it doesn’t matter how many times I have shot someone in Grand Theft Auto.  Playing video games does not teach me how to kill.

People, need to educate themselves.  I have said it before, and I will say it again…part of the responsibility of being a parent is understanding what your kids are playing and doing.  Some are not ready for that, and there is no excuse for not learning what your kids are playing.  I understand that kids will lie and keep secrets, but it is the parents job to learn what a video game is and what the ratings mean then decide what game is right for their kid.  Then again, these are some of the same parents who seem to think that Gamestop is another word for daycare.

With that, I off to play Super Mario Galaxy I am training to be an astronaut.

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.

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.

From IGN:

THQ had a nice Valentine’s Day surprise. A game about a Scorpion and a Tarantula livin’ it up and kickin’ ass in a desert wasteland. It will be interesting to see where this game goes, and the visuals are already pretty nice. Rainbow Studios is developing the Wii exclusive title and they are promising full and innovative use of the Wii Remote.

I will definately have to play and read up on this game a bit before I decide to buy it, but the graphics are nice for a Wii game and the concept is different.
