‘Jill & Kevin’s Wedding’ Fake, Or At Least The Music

And, really, did they have to go straight to copying Nintendo?
While I think it’s great for companies to innovate, this really isn’t innovation. It’s straight copying the Wii Motion Plus. On the other hand, a Wii with PS3 graphics is complete WIN.
