What the deuce are these?! Viral campaign? The Wii parties mentioned last month starting early? A few Wii’s fell off the back of a truck? Is that level 4-1 in the background?! Anyone who can shed some light on these photos please stand up. Check the link below for more pics from this “Nintendo Party.”
[Thanks, MisterInvisible]
UPDATE: Mom blogger [Picture This] is one of the first to host Wii party. “Confused? Here’s how it began: I get an email with “Nintendo Ambassador” as the subject. I look over it, and send a reply, “I’m sorry but I think you may have sent this by mistake”. Get an email back stating that it was no mistake along with proof that the email is legit (I think I may have asked for them to take me off the spam list or something short and cynical) and that they know who I am (which I’m assuming meant the lowest-tech person stumbling around the blogosphere) and found me through my blog. Wow. OK, interest peaked. After a few more emails back and forth I find myself all signed up as a Nintendo Ambassador. Huh? I basically agreed to have some super hush-hush gamer shindig at my house so a big old bunch of my family and friends could check out the highly anticipated, not yet released Wii Gaming System.”
I heard Nintendo was donating Wiis to hospitals and community centers. can this be something like that?
These pics dont make any sense because the two men in the first picture appear to be looking at a tv screen, but in the second picture where the tv screen should be its not there, its just a fire place, and the lady that is showing the guy how to use the controller is angled another way appearing to also be looking at the tv screen. just look at the orientation of the couch and the mario picture you'll get what im saying.
dude, i really don't think these elderly folk are part of a fanboy hoax.
My guess? Replica Wii remotes. I couldn't spot a Wii console in the pictures. But who knows.. I mean, Nintendo did give Wii and TP to a kid on the Ellen Degeneras (sp) show.
This has a tag on Flickr of "wiiunion". Hmm…
Heh, I want that background painting. Omg mario level as a ceiling trim!
Interesting…
They are looking at a tv. The first picture has two men looking into the CORNER of the room. The second photo shows a rep explaining the Wiimote to Duckie while two men look at a tv in the corner next to the fireplace.
Oh MAN! Her blog proves it!That's so cool…If Nintendo keeps up with this good publicity, they'll win this little console war for sure!
I think that is level 8-1
