Nintendo talks Wii Party Evites
Instead of going out to the local sin parlor and imbibing tumbler after tumbler of sin-juice with strangers of the opposite sex, invite your friends and family over to your small studio apartment to play video games! Sure, it's not for everyone, but we're big fans of Wii parties (why do you think Nyko made this frankenstein?).
To help in your efforts to infect the cooler, more socially sophisticated demographics, Nintendo has teamed up with the folks at Evite to promote Wii parties (and planning for them!). GameDaily briefly spoke with Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan who said, "We wanted to contribute to the trend by helping it to grow organically by working with Evite to suggest topics and designs." First on that list are: Mario Party, Family Reunion, and Wii Sports. Other potential party ideas: Minigame Overdose Party and Space Pirate Killing Party.

I think they have to do this because it is actually easier than getting people together to play online. *BAZING*

At first I thought this was a double post, but Toast, you actually re-wrote that shitty joke. Nice.

And soon mascot-slaughterfest party and shoot-from-planet-to-planet party!
This is why Nintendo discourages Online play, they still want to encourage this sort of thing

They have to do it this way because it is easier than online play with the wii. *BAZIIING*

I've seen entire gatherings based on playing the wii >_> This doesn't shock me one bit.

yeah these have been there for a while. I remember it was an option when I was putting together a party back in May. A regular party, mind you.

I'm cool with this as long as Perrin brings the booze.

It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up.

Oh Leela. Thank God! I've never been more thankful for being beat up by a woman.

I was gonna do this but they didn't have a 'Human Sacrifice' invitation.

I made my own!

I don't get it. Just use the phone

"Our online system isn't what you want. You know it's a lot more fun to play with actual people! So invite friends and join in on the Wii fun today!"

the great thing about wiiparty is that you can get a girl drunk and have sex afterworld.
The great thing about online play is that you can scream at 12 year olds whenever you win via voip.
People who attack Nintendo for not having online are gay. It's just simple logic.

Is that Michael Jackson with glasses in the middle pic? I don't want him at my family reunion...

Wii Pranks would be pretty good. You place a bag of dog shit on your Miibor's front lawn and light it. You knock on his door motioning with the Wiimote. Run by moving the Wiimote/Nunchuck up and down. When he tries to stamp it out, you egg him with the Wiimote, and taunt him with Nunchuck. Plenty more out there.
