Yes, yes i know, this was posted before however this was my first time seeing it in person.
I happen to be wandering through glasgow city center when what do i see, but a guy with a wii set up on a stand in the middle of the street with an lcd above it. They were encouraging the public to play it, no doubt to advertise it, so this was a very strange thing because the wii is still more or less sold out up here.
It was however very funny because the only people wanting to play it were young kids - the adults were offered and most took a step back - happy to watch the spectacle. As a result only one adult wanted to play so one of the attendants took the other controller for a game of boxing.
anyway a pic is attached for those interested.

My brother's girlfriend saw one of these in her local shoping mall a few weeks ago, I think it's part of Nintendo's UK Wii tour where people who work for Nintendo go place to place and do a demonstration on the Wii and let people try it. It's actually quite good publicity for the Wii, Nintendo are doing quite well for themselves lately.

That setup is so cool looking.

I wish they'd do that over here in the states.

Thanks for the pic, anger. Yes, the idea has been posted before, but the pic you attached, and your personal story added a real nice touch to it.

They did it in the States over December, I think Nintendo of America's site has the dates and destinations of where they are being held.

NO no! Large is good!

I hate it when we get lots of small pictures and you can hardly tell what's going on.

A large picture is good. Thanks again. :)
