White House now using Wii to promote Operation Epic Fury attacks against Iran

Earlier today, the White House posted a new video on social media for Operation Epic Fury, which has dragged Nintendo into the discussion for its use of Wii footage.

The clip starts out by offering a different take on the Wii Channels that were popular back in the day. After that, the clip is cut between gameplay from Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort as well as attacks on Iranian military infrastructure.

Here’s the clip in question:

The White House has commonly used games and other popular culture to promote its operations. Just last week, Pokemon Pokopia popped up in a meme. And before that, there was a similar situation involving Pokemon and DHS last year.

In other news, Nintendo sued the U.S. government over tariffs last week. You can read more about that here.

We imagine that Nintendo didn’t sign off on the White House’s use of the Wii here. Still, we’ve reached out to the company and will keep you updated if we receive a response.
