Nintendo News | Chewing Gum & Wii the Perfect Combination?

By Adam Riley 21.02.2007 23

In what may come as a surprise, chewing gum maker Wrigley has made a move into Wii territory with some new games. The company has now brought its long-standing Candystand mini-games to the Wii's Internet Channel, optimising them for use with the Wii controller via the Opera Browser. The series of games originally launched in 1997, with examples including Altoids Sheep and The Great Flying Mintini, but now Wrigley's Scott Tannen, Director of Global Digital Marketing believes that the games, which attract between four and five million people per month, is perfectly suited to the Wii market, since no other branded site (other than porn websites and Cubed3...) has taken such a route.

With a boost in online Wii activity since the browser launched, it definitely seems like a wise idea and hopefully other sites will follow suit in the near future. Check out the site by clicking here.

Keep it locked to Cubed3 for further updates...

Very clever, from a business perspective anyway. Wise move.

When I read the title about chewing gum I thought that someone had come up with some sort of chewing divice... blowing the biggest bubble or chewing the most..etc. lol. but I get it now. that would just be weird.

dojo... why do ya wanna no which porn websites? eh?

I use to go to that site everyday... it has some awsome games! My brother is constantly on it... so this is good news!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

May I have a big WTF here?

A-It's a forum, I'm allowed to give my opinion on the matters at hand.
B-How do you actually know you know him better? Same way you know 'God' exists? In this case it's probably true, big chance you know him better, but don't state it as if it is n absolute truth, because you can never be certain.
C-I'm not even going there, seeing that's a pretty retarded statement to make, based on:

You're not his grilfriend nor his girlfriend, so stop dreaming/hoping/whateverrrr...>.<

That's just annoyance over your 'faith' in you and Dojo ending up together someday.

Now let's keep it to PMs after this, might be betterSmilie

That is a sad state of affairs, having your Wii connected is all half the fun for me, i recommend you find a way, you really are missing out, but then i guess you know that, and that very feeling will get worse by the summer. LS

* The Wii was always concieved from the very start as a always on, always connected console therefore it deserves to be.

Oh my, I'm trying to get impressions about this Wrigley thing, not the Wii's internet connection. Is it fun? Does it work?
