I think they have this at fancy golf clubs and whatnot... however, the Wii and WiiSports/Pangya is much less costly, and probably works better.

Is anyone else sick of all this "motion" stuff yet?

I mean damn, when I play games it's to chill, have a beer, kick back, and relax.

I play basketball 6 times a week, and occasionally go golfing and/or play football weekly. The last thing I wanna do when I get home is turn on my console and start swinging the controller around the room and getting all crazy.

I wouldn't be surprised if a "virtual tanning booth" was in store, so everyone can get a sweet tan to go with the toned physique they should have from playing these games.

I guess this is all a ploy by the gaming industry to turn gaming "geeks" into "studs"? Who knows? Count me out on this "motion" stuff for the time being.

I can't understand how it is possible to be so conservative and not curious, it seems some ppl want to play PS2 forever, dualshock forever too.

The new control scheme offered by nintendo is without discussion the more immersive system possible today and games are all about immersion, if you're not "in" the game you wont play long so it may not be a perfect system (I hope it will be enough precise and reactive) it certainly won't be suited for every genre (hey, that's why a conventional pad has been announced right ?) but some genre should get a huge fun and immersion boost with it like FPS or swords games.

And also I think a lot of gamers should think "nice a good occasion of exercising my lazy body for 1 hour" instead of "oh man, I can't keep my arm up for 1 hour, I want to sit in my couch my hand on my pad on my knees and just move my thumbs, not too much or I couldget tired..."

I'm all for the golf peripheral!! Why in the hell would I want to rotate a small thumbstick when I could really swing and have it react properly?? The main reason people play games is because they can't afford to timewise or financially. So, this is a great medium/median for the golf enthusiast...I'm sure it doesn't react absolute accuracy, but it would definitely make the game more of a challenge for those couch potatoes who can jst push buttons.
