Fun meets Fun at Six Flags

Nintendo and Six Flags Amusements announced today that the Nintendo Wii is the “official” gaming console of Six Flags Amusement Parks. The deal includes Nintendo’s sponsorship of the parks and the availability of “Wii Play Kiosks” that will be found at various Six Flags parks all over the united states.
Neat idea on Nintendo’s part, they have a fun console and what better place to showcase this console than in an environment where people’s fun meters are already nearing max. Fun overload? Is that even possible. This may also mean that you maybe seeing plush Nintendo characters as prizes at games throughout the parks. Up here in Canada we don’t have Six Flags so I guess we’re stuck with Paramount Canada’s Wonderland but no one really goes there anyway, except for maybe that Tomb Raider ride they have.
