Japanese hardware sales, 9 October - 15 October: Oscar acceptance speech edition
The DS Lite! (deafening applause)
Oh, I couldn't possibly ... take the stage, me? No, no, no ... please ... well, if you insist ....
What can I say to you lovely people that I haven't already said before? But you know, being up on this stage for the thirty-seventh time is really something significant; I mean, I'll remember this one for sure. We here at Nintendo have always pushed the boundaries, daring to do what no one else in the industry would ... we supported the first elvish video game character, you know, and we even backed the gay population with everyone's favorite character, Tingle.
(scattered chuckling)
And of course, I'd like to thank ... what the hell? PSP, get off the stage!
You can't tell me what do to ... I mean ... to dooooo ....
Are you drunk? Heavens, man.
I deserve the award, me! I have the leet warez, and an arrowww ... a green one, you know? Yours is red, they hate you, they hate you ....
Security? Can I get a little help here?
Long live the PSPPPPPPPPP!
Hey! Put some pants on, man!

I'm sorry, how is this Wii News?

I think he's just having fun on a slow news day :P
BPM? @ Oct 20th 2006 10:16PM
Or maybe he accidently posted it on Wii Fanboy instead of DS Fanboy. :P
Still, an amusing post. Good jorb!

Wrong blog, but still hilarious...

Dude... who cares if its on the wrong blog?! Uh, not to sound rude, but it's not like this happens a lot. At least we got a humorous post that I wouldn't have seen otherwise, so thanks. =)

(laugh) Now THAT'S embarrassing. I posted this from a horrendous computer at a relative's house, and neglected to change the post from Wii to DS. Thanks for the heads up, and sorry for the confusion. ^^

I'd like to put in a request for an "opera" for next week's sales. Kinda like "Madam Butterfly" . . .
Madam Fanboy: Act I
A Japanese house, terrace and game library.
