Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Wow you're hilarious and don't sound ignorant at all.

What's the ignorance? It was a corny play on words!

Get a life Dustin...

You're right, that is one amazing portrayal of Venom.

Actually, why isn't this post about the Venom Mii? That's one awesome Mii. I don't care if the election is more relevant, LOOK AT VENOM. Far more interesting.

....Venom for 1st black president okayI'llshutup.

Funny, my McCain one beats him every time...

Good thing the Wii Sports boxing ring isn't Iraq; otherwise, he would've wanted to be in there for 100 years, "if necessary."

Yep have to admit it, if BO was on my Wii it would only be to beat up in boxing...Not because I have a problem with black people in political positions...just because I think that the democratice party is evil.

Ah. So you're not racist; you're just ignorant. Thanks for clearing that up.

because, as we all know, when you disagree with a liberal, you're just ignorant.

You may label me as you see fit, MrHanSan. No skin off my nose. I have absolutely no problem with anyone disagreeing with me. People do, and should, have differing beliefs and opinions. That's simply not the issue. I would've just as readily called "Timdogg" out if he had made a blanket statement about Republicans being "evil" instead of Democrats. I spit on blind partisanship no matter which side it comes from.

I love Wii Fanboy!

Today has been kinda slow on news so why can't this be posted?

I'm not saying It's not post worthy, but why specifically only one Mii, Barack Obama?

Demographically, it makes sense.

Wii owners tend to be wealthier than owners of other consoles: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14104

The average Wii owner is 29 years old: http://www.pcworld.com/printable/article/id,140575/printable.html

Upper-income and younger voters have tended to favour Barack Obama as we have seen in the Democratic primaries, so a correlation between voter and Wii owner demographics is entirely possible.

Because he is bringing change to the Wii. Duh.

Because he is bringing change to the Wii. Duh.

Chris,

Watch the language. I changed your comment this time. Next time, I have to ban you.

Just read some of the comments on a repost of this story on another blog and you'll understand my concern.

Well, if that's the case, then Barack Obama is the only Mii in the upper ranks of the Top 50 who isn't a traditional pop culture figure. Usually, Miis in the Top 50 are either regular members (e.g. Peter Griffin) or representative of current fads (e.g. Indiana Jones), and invariably, almost all are pop culture icons. That a partisan political figure could gain so much popularity amongst the Wii community as to crack the Top 50 is noteworthy, I think.

In fact, let's all agree right here that if John McCain (or, barring a miracle, Hillary Clinton) cracks the Top 50, that we alert Wii Fanboy to do a post on that.

Well, it is something noteworthy, I suppose, to me. Everytime when I used to use the channel, all I saw were "celebrity" miis. To have a presidential candidate on the top 50 is surprising.
