Question
what does wii stand for in the new nintendo game
I think you worded your question incorrectly. Wii is not an acronym, or a game, it is nintendo's new console system, the successor to the gamecube and n64, etc. I do know that they named it the wii because it is a simple and universal word that can be used by all people that speak any language, which ties into their philosophy of having fun and simple games for everybody. Also, is sounds just like "we" meaning that the console isn't just for the stereotypical hardcore gamer, but for anybody. hope that helps.

Expertise
I can answer questions about shooters, adventure/RPGs, puzzlers and action oriented games. I am a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda, Resident Evil, Halo and I'm mostly oriented towards Nintendo and Microsoft. I can answer some questions about Playstation, but not much. If you need info on the latest consoles, which one is right for you, I can definitely help out.
Experience
I have been playing video games for over a decade. I'm in expert in FPS (first person shooters) RPGs (role-playing games) action/adventures, puzzlers, platformers, etc. I'm not that big on fighting and racing games. I have played hundreds of different games, and I have a lot of experience in these genres. I'm considered to be a hardcore gamer since i play 1-2 hours a day, and I always play on hard difficulties, so i can even give out tips for those who are stuck on a final boss.
Publications
I've written articles in my high school newspaper, about the Nintendo Wii, and reviews for Television and gaming.
Education/Credentials
I'm a High School student, but I am in the top of my English Class with very good grammer, and have written a short story (email me if you wish to read it). Also, I have an entire document that lists every single game I've ever completer, categorized by genre, email me if you wish to see this as well. I have nearly 100 games on this list. Note that these are games I've finished entirely, writing down every game i've ever played would be impossible.
Awards and Honors
I've received the Honour Roll from my Elementary school (80% on a report card).
