A mainstream British publication decided to tackle some of the most frequently asked questions recently when they got to sit down for a mammoth two hour session with the Wii! Kim Kaze of Entertainmentwise used the opportunity to approach some very practical issues -- like whether or not the Wiimote was heavy and how the muscles in our flabby gamer arms will hold up after hours of freeswinging punishment. The results were, we're pleased to say, postive. Turns out that those play sessions that stretch into the wee hours will be just as much (if not more!) fun on the Wii. But practical considerations aside ... this article is so vehemently positive for the Wii that it almost sounds like marketing copy. It seems that their time with the console really got the writers from Entertainmentwise revved up in a way that the other next-gen systems can't. The controls, says Kaze, are so natural and versatile that going back to traditional gaming after an experience with the Wii just seems silly. "Why would you ever go back to merely pressing buttons which are on or off, when the proportional and truly analogue element of your own body brings so much more satisfaction?"
If you're here, you're probably already sold on the concept, but this may be a good one to pass around to those friends who are hovering on the fence.
