Nintendo's DIY Wii marketing site, MyWiiStory.com, is now almost functional, and looks rather like we imagine the final site will. MyWiiStory is designed to allow gamers to post written or video stories about how awesome the Wii is. It looks like the posts will be moderated, so don't try to sneak a story about how the Wii isn't awesome, because they'll totally catch you.

"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," outgoing marketing VP George Harrison said in the latest press release about the service. We wonder if the new expanded audience will go for what is basically an extremely tightly focused version of the Nsider forums. In any case, get your story ready for the site's eventual opening. We've got a great one about eight months spent talking about the Wii on the Internet multiple times a day.

Nintendo has launched My Wii Story, a marketing tool website in the hopes that other families around the globe will share their stories of happiness with the Wii. Two families, the Ponthiers and the Perrys, have been hired documented by Nintendo to highlight the accessibility and fun of the console, stating such memorable quotes as "Wii makes you feel more alive" and "Without the Wii, I feel lost and abandoned. I can't even get out of bed in the morning without hearing the menu start up music. I sleep with the Wii remote clenched tightly against my chest"

Okay, we made that last one up, but you get the idea.

There's also an area where you can submit your own stories on the site. Why? Well, we can't really imagine why, because it doesn't even look like the website will publish user stories in the future.
