That's right: it appears that the Wii's accessible controls not only make it the system of choice for grandmas and fat chicks, but also personal heroes of mine.

In this interview sent to us by BlindsideDork, Bruce 'The Man Who Would be Ash' Campbell states that

"I was pretty good on the primitive games -- Asteroids, Berserk, etc, but the only 'video system' I can use is the Wii."

Truth be told, I'm not sure what's more awesome: the fact that Campbell still refers to consoles as "video systems," or the mental image of Brisco County Jr. flailing around like a spastic during a marathon session of Wii tennis. Complain all you want that the Wii is directed only at children, but don't come crying to us when Bruce Campbell shoves a Wiimote up your wazoo and follows it up with a cynical, pop-culture related catchphrase.

Bruce is cool, but damn he is annoying in teh Spider-man 3 game..

as far as he can't handle other systems it kinda backs up the whole "dumbed-down" controls argument.

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.

Something tells me S-Mart is out of Wii's, too.

Greatest endorsement that ANY system could ever ask for. Viva la Wii!

Hah, awesome. Fucking love bruce cambpell, as any red blooded human person must! This right here is irrefutable proof that all wii bashers ever are completely wrong.

-> Sorensen: That's not an "argument", that's a "selling point". You might not like it, but it was very much an intentional decision on nintendo's part. It's probably actually the largest single factor's in the wii's early success.

Huh? This isn't a positive endorsement of the Wii at all. Unless, I suppose, you happen to be over 45 and haven't played a 'video system' since the Atari 2600.

HenryJonesJr, agreed.

Seems more like he's ready to play Gears of War if you ask me...

just 'cause bruce cambell and my grandmother can't handle an xbox controller doesn't make me want to buy a wii any more than i already don't.

Bruce Campball kicks ass and I've always enjoyed his sarcasm and general distaste for the player in the Spider Man games.

Anyone that hasn't watched Bubba Ho-tep is missing out on the genius of Bruce. With quotes like "But what do I care? I got a growth on my pecker." you know your in for a craptastic adventure.

I'm glad to know he was typical Bruce Campbell when you asked him about the FvJvA movie- a true class-act.

If I were an object of fanfic, I'd get creeped out.

Oh fuck yes! That movie was badass/funny as hell.
You know what I would love to see? Summa getting his skull smashed in by Bruce Cambell's chin. Maybe now he'll think twice before writing another one of those goddamn annoying articles.


Black John F Kennedy, comedy fucking gold.

Hehehe... Bruce Campbell FTW! One of my favorite actors of all time as well.

"...but don't come crying to us when Bruce Campbell shoves a Wiimote up your wazoo and follows it up with a cynical, pop-culture related catchphrase."

Any suggestions on a good catchphrase?

Bruce Campbell: Great for movies, comedy, and awesome in general. Bad for video game advice.

Tempus: I actually made a pretty similar manip a while back before wii came out depicting that exact image. It was posted on Kotaku.

I will gladly be mocked by Bruce Campbell while playing my games. His narration was my favorite part of the last two Spider-Man movie titles.
