Zii Sports Makes A Comeback On The Simpsons
April 26, 2010
Remember a few months ago when The Simpsons took a playful poke at the Nintendo Wii with the "Funtendo Zii"? Well, the Springfield version of everyone's favorite motion-controlled gaming wonder turned up again on the show as part of last night's new episode, "The Squirt and the Whale". When Homer decides to buy a windmill to generate the family's power needs, he takes their house off the grid and relies purely on wind to keep their home lit. This works until a day without wind plunges the house into darkness. Homer declares that from now on, "the Simpsons will live intermittently!", leading to the occasional power blackout. Here's a montage of power outages, one of which involves Bart and Lisa enjoying a round of tennis in Zii Sports. Take note of what's happening on the Zii Sports game itself when the remote fight breaks out.
