AICN Games: Monki comments on the Wii release announcement!!!

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with Monki’s thoughts on Nintendo’s news regarding their next gen platform, the Wii. I’m quite looking forward to this console and while I do like me my Playstation I get the feeling that PS3 is fighting an uphill battle. It has to compete with Nintendo now, a console which is less than half the price. The Blu-Ray feature is the only real advantage PS3 has, but is it worth the price?

By the way, this week’s Games of the Week has been rolled over to next week’s column courtesy of the tech problems we’ve been having on the site recently. To hold you over, here’s Monki!

This year’s episode of WWE Unforgiven is a special event. It marks the first time that WWE has put two of its biggest gimmick matches, Hell in a Cell and TLC, on the same show. If you didn’t know better, you’d think that WWE was desperate to reverse an alarming trend in domestic pay-per-view buys or something. This is also the first time WWE has put Vince and Shane McMahon, which has the potential to be a very dangerous move. Well, at least Great Khali is nowhere to be seen.

This week the stench of failure is particularly noticeable, as our heroes present a second run version of the Experience after new technology failed them the first time around. When not cursing their fate, they offer up their opinions on such things as JBL going to town on the Miz on commentary and Sean Waltman making a surprise appearance at a WWE house show. There’s more than enough bad psychic energy to go around as they also give more unwarranted attention to Chris Kanyon in light of his recent MySpace-related escapades. Also discussed on the show is the possibility of ROH on television, Batista’s appearance on television that has nothing to do with Smackdown, and a relatively quick rundown of the upcoming Unforgiven PPV, with the surprise realization that it might not be that bad. All that and so much more in just 60 minutes!…
