I will be very disappointed if the minigame at 00:50 is not called Whirl World.

As long as "Wii" is an Acronym for Waspy inexplicable insanity Party. Then yeah, the video sums it up nicely...in a creepy Stepfordishy way.

At first glance the idea of wii-hot-potato seemed like a shit idea.  But then I realized I have a young daughter, and in a few years she'll love something like that.  Really simple to understand, but requires some skill to execute.  Calling this a game is a stretch, but as a fun activity for young kids this works.

Is it a requirement that each player must wear predominantly green, red, blue or yellow in real life to match their onscreen Mii?

Okay now show the same family playing the new Super Mario Bros. Wii where they are swearing/trying to kill each other with the wiimotes or after playing every other minigame collection on the wii where they toss the wii in the closet until nintendo cuts out all the minigame shovelware.

If someone can find people who dress like that in "real life", I'll give them a cookie.
