Nintendo Created a Penis-Drawing Inferno

Kotaku - Nintendo's new console, the Wii U, allows players to not only write messages, but also draw them. It's surprising just how many different places players can draw pictures—whether that's in the Miiverse or in games.

If history is anything to go by, the Wii U is going to be a hotbed of dick-drawings. At one time, so was the Nintendo DS. Remember Pictochat?

Don't forget the classic ... (. )( .)

I'm stunned that this article was written. We know: people will draw lewd images on the Wii U, just like with Pictochat. Hell, I went to a gaming convention and played Pictochat with an entire room of people, with half of the messages sent in the room being poorly-drawn versions of penises.

That doesn't make this article any less unneeded or immature. Nice one, Kotaku. Top-notch writing, right there.

Oh, and I completely agree, by the way. heh.

I think it's funny... lol penis inferno. If it does happen, I'll turn that feature off because I have kids.

People do this all over: College campuses, High Schools, anywhere they think someone will see and react to it. Giving them the option to do so and have it be sent out comes as no surprise to me.

I'll draw ponies instead. I know some people who find that even worse than genitals.

[SilentNegotiator]

That's a thousand times worse.

[GraveLord]

Nope.
There is a delay for every single message you sent out. It gets reviewed by Nintendo.

[Ryto]

Every message gets reviewed.... Seriously....

[SilentNegotiator]

...I....eh.....what?
You ARE joking, right? Please tell me you're joking.

[Benjamminkno]

That's good news. Make it appropriate.
I'm surprised how immature gamers are, though I know I shouldn't be. Gamers don't care how vulgar they are.
Let's grow up a little bit!!

I bring thee Eyes of Death, please bestow upon me your sword...

You only get your messages reviewed if you get reported, I believe.
