@DrZaius: Imagine having to name a product that is sold around the world and needs to be marketed in various languages. It's not easy. As for not being a "word" try Xerox, Google, Yahoo, Twitter...

I'm quite disappointed to hear this from O.

Get them to sign NDA's and sue their asses for leaking any info. There are business reasons for secrecy.

I have always struggled with games that make me work for my enjoyment.

You don't mess with the boarder. Period. And at the very least, always cross with someone, as witness.

@gordeaux789: Great!

Has anyone seen a similar test with the Wii? I'm curious to see what the lag is like on say Wii Resort. Any takers?

SNL should talk to the Onion about stealing some of their creative. This was brilliant.

Ahem! Baseball IS boring, compared to most sports, including Bass Fishing. But you have to give Nintendo credit for (seemingly) coming up with extremely creative twists to a standard hit the ball and run game. I'll be buying this, it looks like it could be fun.

How do you broach the subject that your kid is chubby when its the parents who in theory are controlling what the child eats? Just who parents kids these days any more? Nintendo?

This was bound to happen. It's funny how easy it is to direct hate to a toy that promotes physical activity, and claim it can hurt the self esteem of people who take it's advice too seriously.
