Wii Fanboy Weekly October, 11th 2007 - October 17th, 2007 (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii

It's that time of the week, where all of the Wii lovers come out of the woodwork to see all of the latest and greatest content from Wii Fanboy that they may have missed. Feel free to express yourself here, brothers and sisters, for this is a domain that is ruled by Nintendo. A place full of light, where the darkness of Microsoft and Sony cannot reach. It is a land protected by a boy clad in green and two sibling plumbers who dispatch any foe.
