Trauma Center, Delivering Bad News in


Trauma Center

No one likes to deliver bad news to the family and friends of the recently departed. Nevertheless, it is a part of being a doctor and the unique input properties of the Wii and DS have let the developers of Trauma Center bring this challenging part of healthcare to gamers everywhere:

  • Pat shoulder of bereaved mother 4 times and say “he died peacefully” into DS mic
  • Use Wiimote to slowly pull surgical mark off face and shake head side-to-side remorsefully
  • Attach Mario Kart Wii wheel and steer gurney to waiting room. Press A to withdraw sheet.
  • Use Wiimote and nunchuck to control dead body as marionette and stage heartfelt goodbye as mother to surviving six-year old
  • Use stylus to brush aside tears and then gather family around cafeteria fridge where you arrange magnet poetry words to spell out “your son is dead.”
  • Use WiiFit balance board as gas pedal. Drive to Hallmark store. Purchase hilarious Shoebox brand card for widower featuring old granny saying “I heard you’re on the market!”
