Mostly Lisa at Nintendo Canada: Part 1

Posted on July 6, 2009

Last week I visited Nintendo Canada & Mario at their Vancouver offices to check out some of the new games and gear that they announced at 2009’s E3 conference. It was loads of fun. Especially when I beat Nintendo game guru, Matt Ryan at Swordplay. Ha! Well… he may have won best 2 out of 3, but I gave him a run for his money!

Also, my arms were so stiff the next day that I could hardly type. The new Wii Sports Resorts kinda kicked my butt a little. *starts to head to gym… grabs a donut instead :P*

Stay tuned for Part 2. Even more embarrassing moments playing the new Wii Fit Plus & Super Mario Bros and an inside look at the new DS games! Oh boy!

PS I’m actually pretty ace at frisbee. It was that darn Wii Mii dog that couldn’t get his act together.

    Looks like they have some pretty cool stuff coming out with the Plus add on. Can’t wait to try it.
    But did you really call him Mary-o at the beginning?!?!

    Fun times! I love the way you hold the microphone up to the guy even when you’re the one talking ahahahha. Also, as a Canadian who’s been away from Canada for 2 years… there’s actually a pretty heavy Canadian accent going on there.

    I can’t wait for the new Super Mario Bros game!

    Loving the swordplay just a little too much, Lisa? :P

    It all looks cool, but how do you think the poor ol’ Wii will shape up against Microsoft’s Project Natal? Natal looks absolutely amazing, if it actually works…
