"Another game I was given to try out was a completely new game currently codenamed Bunny Hopper. Shigeru Miyamoto explained that this was a game that he has been working the most on and he believes that it will be the next Nintendo smash hit. Bunny Hopper is a game much like Mario, except you control a rabbit named Fred. The way you control the rabbit is unique as you use two remotes to move him around. Shigeru Miyamoto explains that this game will show gamers the type of gameplay that is possible using these new controllers. I was impressed in my brief playtime with the game and I look forward to playing the full version when it is released." (From TIME magazine)

The game has as its main character this goofy bunny that I guess is named Ephraim. He has to rescue his neighbor, Mrs. Fleckenstein, who has been kidnapped by this evil cougar named Gary. It looks like a typical platformer, but with a Wii twist: you use two Wiimotes and you have to use them like his legs. Basically, you're holding them pointed down, swinging back and forth for running and lifting them up to jump. I don't know how fun this sounds, but hey, Nintendo would never make a bad decision, right?

A hint that the Wii will come with 2 remotes?

This would make a lot of sense, given Nintendo's new focus on family multiplayer (evidenced by "Wii").

Hm.. that wasn't in the article previously quoted; there's more than one? And yeah, I would not be surprised if it came with two controllers + nunchuk attachments.

Although the "quote" from the Time article is rather fake.

I give no props to the bunny named Fred.

Ephraim the retarded rabbit? No, you aren't the only one.

I get the feeling it'll be a smart idea to nab at least 2 controllers for the Wii when it's released.

Oh, I remember reading that in the article! Wait, no.

Candidate for stupidest thread of 2006?

Of course not. They've certainly done everything perfectly leading up to today.

Ah, sorry if this turns out to be false. I got this from another forum and I didn't see it in the TIME article posted here.
