Any new console launch is bound to be covered by publications that don't usually touch games, it's a sign that games are becoming bigger. And it's even better for the national press if anything goes slightly wrong, like the non-issue with the wrist strap. We haven't even nearly snapped any of ours.
A story in free rag London Lite on December 19 reports that Nintendo will introduce a range of health-orientated games, such as workouts. For a start Nintendo hasn't announced anything of the sort, though it surely could at any moment.
But the best bit is the paper's description of how you play Wii. It says "The computers, which already have games such as boxing and tennis, are controlled by controlling a wireless box in mid-air."
Computers? Wireless box? Mid-air? Our mum's could write a better description than that. Must have been a slow news day or the editor needed to fill a page with shoddy reporting like this, games magazine and websites will always be around.
