- Make it work!
The Wii just became a little less regrettable, or maybe a little more so, with <a href = "http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118009712.html?categoryid=14&cs=1&nid=2562 “>the announcement of a Project Runway game for the console. Design and construct video outfits at the whim of catty little avatars, then hop on your Wii Fit board and wobble down the runway or take action shots to score points to… well… to keep playing, I guess. Could it possibly be fun? It would be awesome if the developer is permitted to double down on the camp, but tie-in games pretty much never take risks. At least it should be good for a night or two of drunken Wii mayhem while you’re waiting for Season 7 to arrive.
Bonus: Variety says “Sponsors that are integrated into the series may also appear in the game,” so it’s another delightful step forward toward the universalization of product placement.

why is the Wii regrettable?
I think they should really capture the market by making some kind of wii drinking game.
Regrettable? huh?
I think this will give ET for the Atari a run for it’s money.
Yes, regrettable. I actually resold my Wii after playing Zelda when it first came out. There hasn’t been a really good game since; this certainly doesn’t make me want to rush out and buy one, and I’m a girl who watches some Project Runway.
bonus points for thoughtfully using the macy’s accessory wall?
Oh god, I’m going to have to get rid of my 200 shares of Nintendo. This is the kiss of death.
