They're here and they want YOU to play!

A new site for lovers of Wii has been launched, with an aim to get gamers playing each other online more often, issuing challenges and winning coins. What do coins mean, everyone?

Coins means prizes!

WiiWasHere allows you to create a profile quickly, after which you can add all your Wi-Fi codes to the system. With a single username, your friends will have access to all your Wi-Fi codes. Any WiiWasHere user can create a challenge in their own time zone, which will be converted for their friends living in different time zones, so everyone will know exactly when the challenge is taking place. You can create as many challenges as you want, likewise, you can join as many challenges as you want.

You can award achievement coins once a challenge is over. Rate your fellow challenge participants according to who you favor most. Once all participants have rated everyone, an average rank will be awarded to each player as well as achievement coins. Collect as many achievement coins as possible for bragging rights, and you might be awarded prizes at the end of the month.

The idea of this seems to be to collect everyone together for Nintendo gaming in one place, and get us playing and competing more often. This should mean getting the most out of your games and hardware, as well as making new friends and learning new stuff from other gamers online. Potentially it could also make the site owners a lot of money ... but we don't want to be cynical for the sake of it. Also, it takes time to play all these people and encouraging too much screen time in front of the telly or even DS screen needs to be tempered with a call to play responsibly, as with all things. Hopefully, the new site will encourage their customers/users to play responsibly.
