- xtmno3, on 10/12/2007, -5/+51Just sad...
- floridiot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+78She called the Wii a game.. wtfux
- tmarcV2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+64maybe the most uncoordinated human I've seen to date
- pvtjohndoe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+68I know, they totally neglected the safety of both themselves and their crew by not donning their wrist straps.
- VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -59/+1i played the nintendo wii last night, and got games already. http://www.hkracers.com check it out, with images
- TheWorm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Those two make playing the Wii look retarded.
- shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4That wii will have deep emotional scars after that abuse.
- d8cam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8What absolutely horribly misleading and horrible (period) PR...
- sych0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This just in... Old people apparently still suck at video games
- VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1i played the nintendo wii with a review of excite truck, with pictures, plus coupons scanned from best buy for the nintendo wii with pictrues of whole guide
http://www.hkracers.com - aadsfasdf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Old people say the darnest things
- ers35, on 10/12/2007, -1/+51They brought in the console to play for twenty seconds? Right...
They could have practiced before the show too.- OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11They were showing off a few other gift ideas. Even then, I'm sure that this 20 second spot will impress many uninitiated.
- artofwar420, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35Very lame.
- pianonotes1010, on 10/12/2007, -53/+2I love window boxes
- jizzimmy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43I love people who copy YouTube comments.
- RPharazon, on 10/12/2007, -30/+5This is bad. I hate the Wii Commercials and the big media thing.
That means less chances for me, a lowly idiot who didn't preorder it.
Yes, I didn't preorder it. I'm *****.- BabyWookie, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18Oh noes! It's the end of the world!
- Methodius, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Not nearly as much as anyone who didn't pre-order a PS3. You, at least, have a chance.
- darryl242, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Come Monday, why not walk into any store any buy one? If Nintendo is telling the truth about shipment numbers, you'll have no problems buying one all next week and beyond.
- tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -15/+1I know these makes me sound like a graphics whore, but they could have shown off a slightly better looking game along with Wii Sports.
And for the guy who said he's ***** for not pre-ordering, I HIGHLY doubt that. If you can't get one on launch, you are either lazy or wiitarded. For me, I have a nice plan. I will be waiting at Wal-Mart for the midnight launch, but if for some reason, I can't get one there (they are scheduled for 53), then I will just head to Target and wait for their regular store opening. That is what is nice about not everyone doing a midnight launch.
There are SO many stores around doing midnight launches, that the only people who will be waiting at Target when they open will be people who didn't get a midnight system. I assume that will be very few people according to the quantities.
Also, everyone might be broke from buying the PS3 2 days earlier...those poor saps are already camping out...I just feel like driving by the 60 odd people waiting around in line in tents that only 10 of them are getting one. - Rickler, on 10/12/2007, -3/+111 million Wii's for North America? and you think there will be a surplus? honestly...
- Julz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+37wow....... i don't no if that helped or hurt the Wii
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Yeah, the 100,000 stay at home moms that watched this on TV were probably real concerned if it was running at 60fps and displayed at 1080i.
I'm pretty sure if the lady told Al Roker that the system had blast processing, that would have sold it.
- heysuburbia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Yeah, the 100,000 stay at home moms that watched this on TV were probably real concerned if it was running at 60fps and displayed at 1080i.
- LEDDY, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4lame
- darryl242, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Indeed. Very...
- jewdiknight, on 10/12/2007, -18/+5was I the only one who got annoyed they didn't put on the wriststraps. I was hoping it would fly out of there hands just like that IGN editor.
- darryl242, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Wrist straps are sexy. I wish the SIXAXIS had two of them!
- wintermute0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wrist straps? Hell, I hear you might not even get a wire for your sixaxis.
- Romanito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well I guess they didn't want to have their arm ripped off.
- skywake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+58what the hell?
he was just randomly swinging everywhere!
it just goes to show, as intuitive as the Wii is
people can still suck.....- darryl242, on 10/12/2007, -31/+2It just goes to show, as intuitive as the Wii is, it still sucks.
- Coffeedemon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Did that man strike you as one familiar with swinging a tennins racket?
- jnavarre, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Yeesh, not to be mean, but Roker should go out and get some non-virtual exercise. It looks like he has packed on a few since the surgery.
- debtman7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3
No kidding, last I saw him was after the surgery when he was pretty skinny. He was under 200 lbs, looks like he's nearing 300 at this point. Kinda sad to go through the surgery and put it back on. People forget that gastric bypass isn't a permenent fix, it gives you a tiny stomach but if you overeat, it will stretch back out to a normal size. - bouche, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You're not being mean, just observant. He's packed them back on. It's crazy to see someone go to drastic "magical" measures to lose weight without the effort involved, and then gain it all back. There is no magic way to lose weight and become healthy. Put down the french fries, the chicken wings, potato chips and get on a treadmill.
- mediaphile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What can you say? The man LOVES food.
- debtman7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3
- maerc, on 10/12/2007, -19/+4If you don't think this helped the Wii, then you are, seriously, an idiot.
Parents are going to see this and go: "OMGZ 250 DOLLARD! LOOK GOOD FOR MY CHILD YAY!"
Of course it looks retarded to us, it isn't exactly aimed at us.- Wisgary, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5TEH JEFFK SPIK IS SO 1998 LOLZ
- AlanKc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Parents want to save money? why should they be locked away for that?
I agree with maerc (except for the whole "idiot" part).
Isn't that a morning show? I pretty sure it wasn't aimed at teens...
And yes, I also agree they both were horrible.. ;)
- OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Reminds me of this clip of a similar games console:
http://www.xavix.com/products/tvnecn.htm - emp13, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Maybe the Wii shouldn't be marketed for everyone of all ages.
- falloutsyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2Wii60 for the win.
- spy1325, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21lol did you see her try to serve? she was doing some awkward sideways bendy "im wiitarded" swing.... mabey shes never played tennis and didn't realize people serve overhand....
- teamgwho, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0wiitarded?
congrats on inventing a new term! very cool.
- teamgwho, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0wiitarded?
- ampersand2001, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That was awesome. Roker totally got pwned.
- scojerroc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3They both got pwned.
- vishusdelishus, on 10/12/2007, -20/+3Fack off with all the 'FTW', 'massive damage', 'pwned' and message board grammar jokes! I appreciate the spirit but they've been done to death a million times.
We need some new material. I haven't actually seen anyone seriously type like that in forever.- CapeKid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Pwned for massive damage by negative diggs, FTW!
- vishusdelishus, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0Dugg down? Are old, tired and lame jokes really that hot on digg? -9, yeah! New record for me! Herd mentality reigns supreme I guess.
Seriously people I said WE need new material, not YOU. Stop being such pussies. - spacebar14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Fack off"
Prime example of your maturity right there. 'Nuff said.
- javip, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3I think this pretty much confirms the amount of wii fanboys on digg..
every comment about this is that it's lame (which it is), yet it has made the front page..
obviously a whole bunch of fan boys just see Wii and digg
so sad!- Fitzavig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yea it was lame, but it was also downright hilarious if you ask me.
Also, digg isn't such a Nintendo love fest anymore. It used to be, but I keep hearing everyone say how it is and all that crap more than the blind devotion to Nintendo. Wake up and realize that digg is at least starting to be more even in that regard. - javip, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@Fitzavig
hey, if a small clip of some retards using the Wii, which nearly all the comments tag as lame, can make the front page.. there is obviously something wrong with the digg community or the alrgorithm..
I mean, the internet is a pretty big place I think, and if out of all of the things out there, this is a big story (no it wasn't hilarious) then there's a problem.
Doesn't really bother me, digg's top stories refresh on my google homepage amongst other things, and if I like a title I check it out, but it certainly devalues the significance of something making front page if this can make it!
PS: as a side note, I actually will be getting a Wii and have been looking forward to it for a long time, so it's a not a Wii vs non-Wii argument.. but it's quite obvious there are a lot of Wii fanboys here, you know who you are, yes you, the ones digging me down even though i'm making a valid point simply because I'm calling you out =) - ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There's a difference between finding the clip lame, and marking it lame on digg... The video was lame, in that it was really cheezy and they showed off the wii really poorly... But it was still quite worth watching. I'm definitely glad I got to see it, even if it was kind of painful... Not lame.
- Fitzavig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yea it was lame, but it was also downright hilarious if you ask me.
- drfeelgood27, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wii see old people trying to play with what they don't understand.
- darryl242, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Yes, the Wii is just too complex. You need to have a special gift, you need to be Wiitarded to fully understand. This is why, the Wii will fail.
- yujie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1w0rst shortest review ever and they didn't even have it strap on!
- darryl242, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8OMFG! No strap on!? Damn, I was hoping to see Roker get rammed with a Wii strap on :(
- compaqnigg, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1The Wii FTW!!! Man, those reporters sucked. Let a true gamer show them how to play the greatest sytem on earth.
- neospy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Anyone else notice the subliminal laughing Al Roker on the bottom left hand corner of the video right after the tennis replay occured? 0.o
- Pikachelsea, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I like how she called the Wii "the big game" coming out, and said it's "loaded" with a few sports games. How hard is it to say "console" and "comes with a game, Wii Sports".
- Justin6512, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1it's called "Today" not "the Today show" so the titles should really say .... "Wii on "Today""
- Justin6512, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2hey lady it's not a "game" it's a "game console" get it right! :P
- Shaunt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Sorta like when I was on the Today Show, but not as cool.
- guitarh3ro, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1LOL AL ROKER PLAYED WITH HIS Wii ON TV LOL
Yeah...sorry for the really bad Wii joke, don't digg me down...in all honesty...the ruined the image of the Wii...sooooo uncoordinated...although it'll probably be something old nanny's will buy their grandkids after watching that... - truegodofwar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2http://roker.justgotowned.com/
seriously that game looks like a gimmic that will get old after 5 minutes. - SuperCUBE, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1OMG, what n00bs. They should never be allowed to touch a next-gen system.
- MisterKyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't- I can't ***** believe this.
Al Roker, Al ***** Roker gets to play the Wii before me!
That woman needs to learn how to swing her arm over her head. - matthewaaron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I would like to see them playing something on the 360 or PS3... I'm willing to bet that would make their wii session look amazing!
- JackDoyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Shame on them for not wearing their wrist strap. That gives children the wrong impression of safety equipment.
