I truly find it hard to believe that anyone is still actually playing Wii Sports, much less the "sounds great on paper, but about as fun as trying to bite your own ear" Wii Boxing. But then again, NPD numbers indicate that Nintendo sold 338,000 Wii consoles last month, so I'm sure that somewhere someone's grandmother is flailing wildly at a television.
With Wii "fight clubs" and bowling leagues popping up all over the place, maybe there actually is a market for the Wii Boxing Gloves that Divineo is selling for $12.95 a pair. Simply slide the nunchuck and remote into pouches located on the made-for-Wii gloves and before you know it, you'll be looking like a total idiot and alienating your friends in no time.
Divineo also offers bulk discounts, if you need to purchase 50 pairs of boxing gloves for your local Wii fight club. I sure do hope someone gets hurt.

I find it hard to believe people are still buying Mario fucking Party, it's had 8 attempts to get it right, and it's still utterly hateful.
...don't play WiiSports... >.>
U-Force, people.
For those of us with a Wii that has 5 controller ports and a 5-player version of Wii Boxing: ROYAL RUMBLE!!!
Yeah, nice English.
I think you just did write your follow-up. :)
That being said Wii games aren't the same price as 360 games. It's fine that you like GoW, you don't have to "hate" other people genres or consoles. I wish there was a Text base lawyer game for Wii. There are 2 for DS, let's hope for a spin off.
You are the reason why LIVE isn't as fun as it could be. I know you are one of the ones shouting out explitives about other peoples homosexuality. You really should stop playing games all together. Oh, and the enter key is your friend.
Once you figure out the controls (they are not as intuitive as they appear, which actually made the game more interesting to learn), the game is actually pretty fun, like a 3D version of the old Game and Watch Boxing I grew up with.
I could see how it isn't a great game for everyone, as you don't get to travel to magical fairly lands or be all "hardcore" in rough and tumble fantasy alien apocolypses. This game, like many awesome Wii games, offers little to none of the escapism which video games (sadly) are so well known for.
Is that what really scares people about the Wii? That the era of video games being primarily a form of total escapism may be coming to a close?
There will always be escapist games guys. They still dominate the market. It's just now, there are more kinds of games that actually make money. That can only be a good thing for the industry.
Brock- Were you pissed that movies like Napoleon Dynamite cost just as much on DVD as Spider Man 2? Are you worried that because Napoleon Dynamite made tons of money that studios will stop making special effects blockbusters? If the answers to either question is no, then you can stop worring about the Wii and go back to playing GoW.
