Look some facts about the Nintendo Wii....

Based upon what I'm witnessing from my roommate and his buddies, I think some things needs to be clarified about the VIRTUAL gameplay on the Nintendo Wii. If you are playing Wii Sports, and seem to be doing well at your choice sport, you are still NOT an athlete. More than likely you are not really even in that great of shape either. If you seem to be able to hold your own at Wii Sports bowling, you are not a bowler. Good at the baseball mode? Not a baseball player. You won't be taking over for any major league slugger any time soon, just because you do really well on the homerun derby option. The same with the tennis, golf, and boxing. Just because I seem to do fairly well with the sword fighting on Ubisoft's Red Steel doesn't mean that I'm going to be ready anyday now to run out into the streets and take on the first samurai I see. I'd be dead, just like many a gamer would be if they actually had to play a full doubles match of tennis in the real world. I can only hope that once Super Mario Galaxy is released I don't have a run on friends who think they're super-hero/ Italian plumbers. Whooo-hoooo, mama mia.
