CONSUMING WITH Wii
August 30th, 2007 | by HG |
Video games are blamed for turning American kids into fat, lazy, slackers. I don’t know how many hours of my life I lost to Atari, Odyssey, Coleco and Intelli vision, the Commodore 64,
Nintendo, Genesis, Playstations and X-Box, but I do know those systems never got me drunk. The Wii is here to change that.
Video game publisher Midway has a new game coming out for the Wii system. “Party Game” will consist of several games including shuffleboard, darts, and ski ball, but the game that will take over college campuses this fall is Wii beer pong. Or Wii Beirut. Or “Ping Cup” as Midway refers to it:
The object of ping cup is to use the Wii remote to throw a ping-pong ball at a pyramid of cups.
They left off the part about getting hammered drunk… The good thing about the game is it’ll give Greg Oden a chance to work on his beer pong skills. The bad news is, it might put these aspiring entrepreneurs out of business.
**YBB Update** The official name of the game is Game Party

I think that bringing Beer Pong to the Wii is one of the best ideas Nentendo has ever had!!!

Your damn right, this party game is gonna be the greatest game to date for the Wii! When I bought my Wii I never would have thought that it would be possible to play beer pong on it. I play beer pong with my college friends all the time, now I can play with way less clean up!!
