wii?-oui?-we? güy delamerde   I  güy delamerde For years now, playing with video games meant hurting your eyes –some would even say that it could cause epileptic crisis–and challenging yourself. Friends and low levels of hygiene were left aside and you would get mad with parents and partners. Remote controls would fly away from your hands and that was never the cause of making the characters on your screen move. And then, Wii arrived and it changed it all. Shigeru Miyamoto is Mario and Donkey Kong´s father, among others. This videogame genius, unlike other big companies, forgot about graphic superchips that were used to control missiles and decided to analyze the playfulness of videogames deeper. At the same time he thought that he could make preretired people play, like Spielberg. And what happened on its first year of marketing? The revolution! Now, when your friend jumps with the “wiimote” or “nunchuck”, Mario also jumps against the shelled bastards. In the past, you would burst out laughing and tease your friend for his moves. Now you have to clean the way for your friend doing Leonard Dantes ”dance of the handkerchief”. It is called “sharing” the game. Helping each other in order to move on in the game.

Those times when you would punch your partner or make him disappear with some magic are over. Not long ago, those who played videogames would not waste his time kicking a ball outside. Now you make exercise with the Wii. “It´s even more secure and cleaner” as today´s Pilatemothers would say. Wii is being the best thing against today´s raise of overweight children. After watching Wii-s ads during the past few months, you realize that wii will get rid of those lonely games which would ruin your coordination skills. Cursing against those green haired Japanese videogame creators is also over. Now, you can smell stinky Tupperware on those ads that announce enjoyment for the whole family. Thank you very much Mr. Shigeru. With this new videogame, our partners, parents, or even worse, our partners´ parents will invite us play a game. What´s the next step? Including sudokus or recipes in pornographic magazines?
