Jack Thompson. Need I Say More?

You Don't Know Jack

Guess what? Jack Thompson is mad about something. No! Really! While I know that this is unusual, the basic story goes that Jack Thompson is upset about the upcoming Wendy’s Wii toys. I’ll give you a minute to calm down. … Okay, so anyway, here’s the direct quote from an email that he sent to Wendy’s CEO Kerri Anderson:

“A dear friend of mine worked for Wendy?s and with Dave Thomas closely for years. From that I know that Dave Thomas never would have tolerated the use of Wendy?s good name to promote Nintendo?s Wii, not with this game available on the Wii platform.”

The game he’s refering to is Manhunt 2. A fairly decently graphic game that is being ported to the Wii pretty soon. I wonder why he didn’t complain about the Xbox 360 toys that came free in cereal a while back because GTA IV is coming to the 360…

Wiicrophones Coming

It's a microphone, okay?

There are two upcoming games for the Wii that will utilize USB microphones. One is High School Musical from Disney Interactive, and the other is the Wii-exclusive Boogie from EA. I’d really like to see some wireless microphone usage in some first-party Wii games, but we’ll have to wait and see what the future holds.
