Men's Health says Wii is for girls
by RobertSumma on 10.21.2006 0 comments

girlgamer.jpg Well, you know, not in those exact words, but the dude who wrote the letter response may have well said as much. After a reader asked what he could do to get his girlfriend involved in video games, the Men's Health guru responded with this gem: "Maybe you should buy that new Nintendo system with the stupid name, Wii. It was designed in part to suck video-game-dissing women into the virtual world. Personally, I'm addicted to Rockstar Games' Table Tennis and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory." Rock on my Men's Health brotha. Join the club of Nintendo hate mail recipients. Maybe we should start some sort of underground smoking establishment where we can sit with our smug faces laughing at GameCube 1.5 graphics, a lack of HD, and the 100th iteration of Mario.
