Next time you're in Manila and need a gaming fix, the obvious choice is FriiSpirit, a Wii-focused hangout in Quezon City. Fully stocked with projection screens, beanbag chairs and cheap eats, it's an always-busy student hangout, says PSFK.

After hours things get even more interesting. Friday nights, one of the owners whips up fancy food to serve alongside movies (recent picks included "I'm Not There," "The Godfather" and "Dirty Dancing"), pancake suppers happen every Thursday night and other evenings friends stop in for Rock Band competitions.

To get the full schedule of events, check FriiSpirit's blog, natch.

The Nintendo Wii Cruise Sets Sail

April 3, 2007 at 3:53 PM | 0 Comments

Norwegian Cruise Line recently started offering Nintendo Wii games aboard their luxury liners.

The Wiis are already on board the Norwegian Pearl and will be hitting the rest of the NCL fleet sometime this month.

Each set-up comes equipped with Wii Sports, Wii Play, WarioWare: Smooth Moves and Excite Truck. Guests can play the Wii on large screens in each ship's atrium, and kids will have special kiosks, so old gamers don't Wii hog.

That screen is ginormous.

One Kotaku commenter added:

Your controller is based on movement. You're on a boat. Rough seas my very well mess with your ability to play.

Aw, c'mon, that's part of the fun.

Now if you could just challenge your noisy cabin neighbors to a Wii boxing match to settle the score in front of the entire crew.
