The Queue for the Wii
May 13th, 2006
I’m not even going to bother with a pun. Mark rightfully points out that there are more important things than the name. After much soul searching and agonising over the dilemma, I have decided to accept it and move on. Having relieved myself (doh) of that burden, the strengths of the console are so evident - the innovative “Wiimote” controller, the (predicted) low price tag, and most importantly, a Zelda title available on launch!
The reaction from E3 has been overwhelmingly in favour of the Wii - here is a video showing the queue of people waiting to have a go:

Notice those LCD “Windows” on the wall of the Ninty booth? Those are video links back to Ninty HQ, the guy with the grey hair you can see about ten seconds in is the voice of Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Wario, Yoshi and god knows how many other Ninty characters.
They had webcams hooked up to the top of the screens so they could see and speak to you as you waited in line.
