We received some Pre-E3 media assets tonight of a Wii game. The game is called "_____ Wii" and is copyrighted as such, so unless the developers are lying to us too, or Nintendo is lying to them, I think we can safely say that this name is here to stay.

So embrace the Wii.

I just thumbnailed it to maintain the 'horizontal-ness' of my browser window.

I despise side scrolling!
