I Scream, You Scream, Wii Scream!?!

Did You Do The Wii Scream When You Received Your Wii? Is the mighty Wii video game console really worthy of a Wii Scream? Is this how you would react to receiving some of the best Wii Games? You can bet that it is just a bit exciting to receive a Wii video game console and some of the necessary video games and video game accessories. But is it enough to cause you to scream? It certainly was for the recipients of the Wii video game consoles on this page!

One reaction has become a YouTube Video hit and, as of January 25th, 2008, has had more than 281,077 people visit, 439 comment and 549 leave star ratings. Yes, you can watch J.P. Pellegrino's world-famous Wii Scream on this page momentarily.

My teenage boys received a Wii and some of the best Wii video games this year for Christmas from Santa. At 17 and 15 years of age, their reaction was slightly more mature. They had the contents of the package figured out before they started to unwrap it. There was no scream but the smiles were definitely ear-to-ear and the pleasure plain to see.

What is it about the Wii and the Wii Scream??? Why are people around the world so enthralled with this video game console and with these videos? On this page, I have featured only a few of the many, many YouTube videos available on this theme. I hope you enjoy them.

The Story of Canada's Pellegrino Family and Their Wii Experience 

The scream of jubilation continues to be heard around the world! J.P. Pellegrino enjoys his 15 minutes of YouTube Video fame.

Picture by TheSpec.com.


Probably no one expected quite this reaction from the recipient of a Nintendo Wii. J.P., Sara and Simon Pellegrino of Grimsby, Ontario, Canada are famous because of J.P.'s Wii Scream. Their video, filmed by Mom and put on YouTube by Simon, has been seen and heard on more than 281,000 computers around the world. Both Fox News and ABC have used the clip and apparently, the story has been carried around the world in newspapers. They have, unexpectedly, become one of the latest in a string of YouTube sensations.

The video features J.P. opening the Wii and J.P.'s reaction is what all the fuss is about. Watch his eyes first and then cover your ears when he lets out his high-pitched scream of delight followed by a dance and a collapse with the Wii held securely in his arms.

Sara says that the video shows J.P. pretty much as he is and that he "gets excited over t-shirts. He's pretty easy to please. Knowing his character, I can tell you it was a genuine response."

Mom, Samantha, says the attention has been mostly positive and she is happy their video has entertained people around the world. I wonder about J.P.'s reaction to the top video games.

Nintendo Sixty-FOOOOOOOOOOUR ~~ Before The Wii Scream There Was the Nintendo 64 Scream! 

The Pellegrino's story is not unusual, there are hoards of similar videos on YouTube, but the most famous video game scream was not made about the Nintendo Wii but rather about the Nintendo 64 in 1998 with the over 8 million visitors. Now if only someone would visit this page only a fraction of that many times!
