At this year’s E3, Nintendo decided to do one of the things they do best — talk about how awesome they were. They used clips various YouTube clips and one-on-one interviews with Wii owners to the point where it made me sick all in my insides. Then they flashed a Destructoid story on the screen, and it was one of mine, so all was forgiven.
Well, Nintendo are done talking about themselves, so they’ve come up with a new idea —MyWiiStory.com. Exactly what it sounds like, the Web site is designed as a place where Wii owners can go and talk about how great their experience with the Wii has been. Nintendo’s George Harrison thinks it’s a great idea, and confirms that this is yet another way they company plans on tooting its own horn.
“Everyone’s a gamer and every gamer has a Wii story to share,” says Harrison. “We want all Wii owners to go to MyWiiStory.com to further demonstrate the extent to which we have brought new players into the world of videogames.”
The site isn’t live and functional just yet, but Nintendo has given a few examples of what you may expect, including one story about a how it’s helped a woman with multiple sclerosis. I can’t wait until I can post about how my Wii turned water into wine!
WII OWNERS SHARE ANECDOTES AND FUN TALES AT MYWIISTORY.COM
New Web Site Invites Wii Owners to Share Their Stories
REDMOND, Wash., Jul 14, 2025 – Every Wii™ owner has a unique Wii story to tell: the guy whose girlfriend could finally partake of his video gaming pastime – and win … the family whose weekly game night shifted from board games to video games … the mom who refused to let her son keep the Wii in his room – because she wanted to play too.
In response to the growing Wii phenomenon, Nintendo has set upMyWiiStory.com. It’s a place where Wii owners and their friends and family have been gathering to post real-life anecdotes about the way that Wii has changed their social dynamic or even their opinions about video games. Men and women, young and old, kids and grandparents – people of all types have posted anecdotes, photos and videos of their experiences with Wii.
“Everyone’s a gamer and every gamer has a Wii story to share,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “We want all Wii owners to go toMyWiiStory.comto further demonstrate the extent to which we have brought new players into the world of video games.”
Here is a sampling of some of the kinds of stories you will find on the site:
