Quantcast



Mysterious disappearing video! The kid's dad sent us a very nice letter asking us to remove the video for the protection of his chilluns, so I wasn't going to be a cockface and keep it live. Had he been a cockface it would have been a different story. But he was cool, so down came the vid. If you missed it, you don't read Destructoid often enough and get what you deserve! :)

Original Story:

Now, what is it about Nintendo console gifts that makes children's heads explode? At there mere sight of the box they appear to lose all bodily restraint, as evidenced by the sellout known as the N64 kid. In his wake we have some newcomers though, two little bouncing cherubs who's family refuses to buy into that whole "gift wrap thing" and instead distributes presents by lifting a cardboard barrier at Festivus. Chumps have it easy -- my Wii acquisition was definitely a feat of strength, but it would have been so much better if I had shown up camping with a metal pole. Maybe next time.

I fear for that Wii. It looks like it'll end up broken before it even makes it out of the box.

That kid's remote is definitely going to hit the tv (and anything else that gets in it's way.)

The music in the video is perfect. That was too funny. Something tells me those parents will lose a TV pretty soon from a rogue Wii controller.

Agreed re: the music. Priceless.

An unfortunate side effect of the console's name is an unavoidable flashback to the infamous "squeal like a pig" scene in Deliverance.

I don't know, without the slow-mo it's not the same...

I think you're right, dude. We need some slow-mo action going there.

It's a hilarious video none-the-less. I can't wait for Festivus this year!

This is a much better version of the Wii freak out I think (featured on yesterdays Weekend Destructainment!)

Wish my little bro was that excited when I showed him the wii. I camped out for 15 hours to give him that for his birthday (which was the day after the wii launch)

That almost looks staged. The kid on the left threw his hands up before he even saw it.

Im OK: Trust me, you got lucky. I've been searching daily since the launch and I have still not been able to get my hands on a Wii. It's ridiculously really. Either Wii is just insanely popular in my area or my area just isn't getting as many as other places.
