Tonight's episode features Cartman so desperate to get the Nintendo Wii that he freezes himself in the Rockies to make the time go by faster.

I can relate.

Doubtful. Trey & Matt, aren't influenced by money. This was probably their way of saying that the Wii is cool and will stand proudly alongside the XBox 360 at South Park Studios once it's released on November 19th.

Hopefully, Wii will do better than the last system showcased on South Park.

I totally know how Cartman feels...

Wii cannot come any faster...

It's interesting how suddenly this season the South Park universe has real video games instead of the fictional franchises like Chinpokomon and the Okama Gamesphere.

That actually made me laugh aloud, reading that. Southpark's a good show, but I don't have a TV in the room to watch it on.

I can definitely relate to the sentiment, though.

I hear the episode is up on Youtube.com and gonintendo has the link on their site. But you could just bittorrent it next time and watch the show just after the east coast air time.

Didn't South Park also have an episode about the PSP, claiming that God Himself made it?

Kairon · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2006, 08:38:26 PM »

They say that South Park has the kiss of death for consoles: The dreamcast, Okama Gamesphere, PSP, and XBox 360...

Well I think that the consoles were the main focus on those. In this one it really seems like Evolution is taking the stage and some disturbing sex stuff I could have lived without. The Wii just seems like a vehicle for that story. The Wii could have been replaced with him wanting a robot manservant from the future and it wouldn't have to change any.

The Xbox 360 is failing?

Yeah. The episode itself was about the controversy surrounding the Terry Schiavo case, with Kenny being the victim. The episode also dealt with a battle between Heaven and Hell (if I am not mistaken). Kenny kept playing the PSP throughout the whole episode.

I just realized that the appearance of these consoles doesn't necessarily mean that they are celebrating them. South Park has always been about the ridicule of social traits, world events and fads. When they stated that the PSP was a gift from God, I wouldn't be surprised if the writers were making fun of the fanboys that saw the PSP as the end all of handhelds.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Cartman's anticipation of the Wii is also a mockery on the pre-hype regarding the Wii. I heard that Matt Stone and Trey Parker are BIG Nintendo fans, but even then, I wouldn't be surprised if mockery came first, celebration later.

Hell, I know a couple of friends who are acting similar to Cartman, one of them stating that the Wii was the only thing he was looking forward to in his life. So Cartman's representation of Wii fanboys isn't far from the truth.

Man this episode was AWESOME. I don't have cable so couldn't watch it until I "acquired" it this morning. My brother called me last night though after watching it and told me I'm totally Cartman in this episode. I didn't know what the hell he was talking about, but after watching it, I am Cartman. I can't do anything but think about the Wii. I sit at game stores just staring at the Wii boxes. But we only have 2 weeks so I'm sure it'll be in my living room before I know it.

First Adultswim, now Southpark...

The Wii has just hit the two most popular 'casual' gamer networks. This is great FREE publicity, especailly since it comes out in less than 3 weeks! What makes it even better is that it will be featured on the next episode of SouthPark as well (due to the "to be continued"). If I know Cartman, he's going to keep bringing it up the entirety of the next episode until he actually plays the damn thing.

EasyCure · « **Reply #18 on:** November 02, 2006, 07:50:55 AM »

the best part of it is when he's in the future and someone tells him its primitive technology and he goes "primitive? it has motion sensing technology as$hole!"

It is in Japan and from what I've heard it not exactly flying off the shelves in Europe either.

By the way, this episode was disgusting. I really could've done without the whole Ms. Garrison XXX scenes.

And don't be surprised if the next episode whren Cartman finally get to play the Wii, he says something like "this blows and wasn't worth the trouble". I just don't see it ending well, but that ending probably seems too obvious, so hopefully that isn't what happens.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #20 on:** November 02, 2006, 08:25:31 AM »

That whole episode was L O L.

I don't see that happening. I think Cartman will react the same way he did when he finally got to Casa Bonita. If Trey and Matt are big Nintendo fans they won't be dissing the console in any of the episodes, well at least that's what I think.

The episode itself was funny, I could too would had left those XXX scenes of Garrison, but oh well. And I know I might be wrong but is Cartman really dead?, dreaming?

JonLeung · « **Reply #22 on:** November 02, 2006, 08:36:30 AM »

I thought the South Park writers didn't know anything about video games?

I remember hearing about how they created a game character named Mega Mega Man, and at the time they didn't know that there already is a game character named Mega Man. Seriously, WTF, they never heard of Mega Man?

Though I suppose they could be trying to keep up and throwing around the names of known consoles is easy enough, or they could've gotten some help or other writers or something. Still...who DOESN'T know Mega Man? >_<

I haven't seen it, but it could really go either way with that show. I figure that as long as Kyle doesn't have one, Cartman will praise it religiously. Of course, it would be hard for anything to be worth that much trouble, from the sounds of it.

Are they going to show this episode again before the second part airs?

Requiem · « **Reply #24 on:** November 02, 2006, 08:40:19 AM »

I thought that the whole episode was halarious.....of course I was drunk though...

meh

I think it's going to be like Casa Bonita as well.
