Bitmob.com's Tony DaSilva recently posted a rather humorous blog on why he believes "The Wii Just Isn't for Mii Anymore".

I played the Wii absorbedly and often, for a while. Over the next few weeks I played through the newly released Legend of Zelda and Mario Galaxy. These were both new modified games of their older versions from my early years.

It was fun, but something was different. I began feeling creepy and bizarre.

Then one night, it hit me all at once. My girlfriend had walked in on me. I was in the living room at 3 am shaking a white plastic stick in the air while gyrating intensely, mimicking an invisible Hula Hoop on my television. Seeing myself through her eyes, I felt the ridiculousness of what I'd been doing.

The realization of the weird feeling rushed into me. I felt embarrassed. I had been feeling embarrassed even before I knew I was feeling it. I just hadn’t realized it until she caught me in the act. I know it could have been worse, but still.

I was now a grown man playing games with fuzzy-little-cute-characters named Pikachu, Digimon, and Pokemon. I didn’t have to be playing these games anymore. But that’s all the Wii is now. It’s now a gaming system incorporating adorable characters with names resembling a sneeze and looking like Teletubby’s.

I thought about it further. I was sick of the sucked dry story line of Mario and the Princess. How could she still be getting kidnapped by the same monster? I’d been saving her ass from Bowser for half of my life. And is Bowser even evil anymore? In Paper Mario he’s part of Mario’s team!

Nintendo wasn’t making games for me anymore. The Wii gamer is now a 10 year old kid or a middle age house wife, playing Wii Sports with parents. But I think that’s great. I’m not mad about it. Good for Nintendo. They have sales numbers that are staggering. I’m just not one of their numbers anymore. I don’t have dentures lying on top of the new copy of AARP while being visited by the family on Sundays.

I’ll move on. I just don’t know why I didn’t see it sooner.
