Blizzard makes Wii their April Fool’s joke

Check it out.

Years ago, no game company would have dared. But the Wii has become quite a joke with how Nintendo has managed it in the last few years. Some nasty barbs include:

First, it was mentioned that one of reasons to cut the skill number from seven to six was to help create a more fluid feel to the controls for the Wii. With a more limited controller, seven skills just made it too confusing.

Yikes.

It was also shared that players on the PC version will be able to join up with players on the Wii. Thanks to the ability to integrate Battle.net with Wii’s on-line service, there will be no distinguishable difference as far as that part goes.

Ouch.

I will admit after working up a good sweat from playing, I was quite impressed with the game. The continuous killing of demons was only made more fun as I literally was hacking my way through them. Personally, I loved the melee classes the best with these controls, slamming the controllers around me. Be careful, however, I may have accidentally given a member of the Blizzard team a black eye while performing a Cleave (sorry Bash). Say what you will about this port but until you get your hands on it, you won’t understand the fun the Wii brings to the game.

Oh dear.

The spoof correctly nails all the things we really hate about Wii games lately. For example, take Skyward Sword. All the jokes made here all apply to Skyward Sword including the special ‘Wii-mote’.
