My Wii Story Site Launched
The Wii console is a very family friendly gaming system that gives people young and old the chance to play together and have fun. In response to the Wii phenomenon, Nintendo has launched a new site, MyWiiStory.com, where people can share their Wii experiences.
“Everyone’s a gamer and every gamer has a Wii story to share,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “We want all Wii owners to go to MyWiiStory.com to further demonstrate the extent to which we have brought new players into the world of video games.”
At the MyWiiStory.com site you can find responses such as these:
- “We are the house that everyone wants to be at because of the Wii. When we have dinner parties, the evening ends up in the living room for dessert, coffee and Wii. It has brought our family closer.” – Katia Clark
- “I bought the Wii to use for exercise indoors. … People assume that it belongs to one of my sons and I get a kick out of seeing their faces when I tell them it’s mine!” – Jeanne Boutwell
- “I’m a 46-year-old mom, never really played any video games. My kids are now 25 yrs, 22 yrs and 19 yrs old. I am having a Wii party on the 21st of this month. We sent out invitations and I have about 15 women coming to try to play Wii.” – Sue Leone
- “I always liked to bowl, although I wasn’t very good at it, but I had to stop 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with bone cancer. A few months ago we purchased a Wii and I was able to bowl again. We have major family tournaments and I have hit ‘PRO’ status. Thanks to Wii I am able to enjoy one of my life’s pleasures again.” – Randy Bhaga
- “As a woman with multiple sclerosis, I have found that playing the Wii has offered me both a chance to use my body and my mind. I’ve recommended it to other MSers on one of my Web sites. I think it is just a phenomenal way to exercise and play.” – Diana de Avila
