Shia LaBeouf Totally Hates The Wii

Here’s a pleasant change from seeing your average celebrity gushing over a video game: seeing a celebrity troll on the Wii.

Seems that while Shia LaBeouf – the star/destroyer of both the Transformers and Indiana Jones franchises – is a big-time gamer, he’s only a big-time gamer on the 360 and PS3. Which he seems to quite enjoy. When it comes to the Wii, however…things get trollish.

Speaking with Big Download, he says:

(BD) Have you checked out the Wii Transformers game?

(SL) I haven’t been able to play the Wii game because my hand is broken. I’ve just been playing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I would imagine that the Wii experience will be like…I don’t mess with the Wii, to be honest with you. It’s kind of an amateur console. I’m not into the Wii thing.

(BD)What’s wrong with the Wii?

(SL)This is how in a simple way you can find out if it’s a gamer you want to play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f*** out of there.

He later follows that up with “Who wants to play the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars. I’d rather eat glass.”. Even though the Wii version is, well, for all intents and purposes identical to the other ones.

Bet Activision and Krome Studios, the people behind the Wii version of the upcoming Transformers game, are just delighted with his promotional abilities..
