Damn gurl, check out my bangin WiiDiva Strap photo

I have so many problems with this I don't even know where to begin. The first doesn't even have to do with games: FAKE BLING IS TACKY. Not even that I'm so into real bling, mind you, because the type of girl that thinks the size of a rock is indicative of how much she is loved is typically not the down-to-earth girl that enjoys video games. Still, if you're gonna wear it, don't wear some trash that looks like it was made in China. Please.

Second, the name: WiiDiva. Ugh. Gaming does not translate to some hip fashion statement, no matter how hard people try to make it so. Gamers are NERDS. You want to appeal to us? Print our Wii straps with Earthbound characters. That's how you speak to our demographic: with nerdy things we remember and love, not fake diamonds. 

Anyway, rant over. Long story short: do not want.

"OH HAI GURL U LOOK SO FLY WIT THAT WII STRAP ON. HOLLAH ATCHA GURL!"

you misquoted: "That" should be "dat" and there's no random swearing... like "Mothafuka!" or "SHIT BITCH!" or even threats of violence.. "I'ma busta cappin yo azz"

I want this in the same way I want the Showgirls collector's edition.

Meaning- not really.

Colette: Uhh, I understand where you're coming from, but I don't this is supposed to appeal to the core gamer. It's meant for the little girls who play Wii Sports and shit, not one's who play Square Enix games.

So with that said, why even get angry or bother to care? This is clearly not meant to be sold to you.

I don't know I think this is another "gamer grub".

A completely ignorant company that doesn't really know the target audicence of a product.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs for Nintendo when the most fun you can have with their console is decorating it.
