What's wrong with the sales rep? I was focusing more on the game itself, though I didn't notice anything abnormal? 2. Who pays attention to drink bottles on the table? 3. Drown.

LESSON 1- It's cluttered. I can see two drink bottles sitting on it, aswell as rubbish and there is this ugly smaller screen probably displaying info on the system (not needed, let the console/TV screen and Booth Operater do the talking) which is blocking the poster on the back wall. Where has that minimalist look that Wii is all about gone. LESSON 2- The poster on the front of the desk is of twenty sumthings playing instead of using a poster of 50+ gamers. This would have to be the biggest lesson. LESSON 3- I don't want to judge a book by it's cover but the Booth Operater looks like a slob (who needs to get a haircut) that they picked up from the local Mac Donalds Restaurant. If you want to make an impression on gamings hardest audience to WOW! Instead of using a typical "gamer-looking" person, use fresh faced people a.k.a Models and other 50+ gamers, which will be much more approachable and appropriate. FINAL LESSON- All together it just looks unproffesional and a bad representation of Nintendo. I am used to seeing sleekness, and freshness ooze forth from Ninendo Kiosks but I'm afraid this event got scrap left overs and it shows. Where are the controller stands? It is very messy and disapointing to see. AGREE? Jade... I’d just like to vent a bit of frustration to do with this Wii event kiosk.

Real men can grip the device and swing it all they want without catapulting it like a weakling with limp wrists would. Indeed, only women, children and girlie-men need to use a wrist strap.
