"Wii Fit looks great with anything from Ikea"

Bwahahah! :D

Ah, I have this game. A neat puzzle game indeed.

I'll be the first to say: That looks absolutely AWESOME. I can imagine holding it right now. Fun stuff. =D

I must say, this game looks like it will be very exciting. On-rails-shooters can be an awesome experience if done right.

I think the voting channel is a great way to gather useful information and opinions from users. Polls can then be referred to in articles or reports: "60% Of Wii users voted on so-and-so.."

Where the eff is Tetris for the NES? I'm really tired of waiting for that game. On with it already.

Survival horror is always scarier in first-person. =D Am I the only one who thinks this looks pretty cool?

.....

Hey look, it's a bird! *Runs and hides behind a tree*

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this video has already been posted here before?

I've never been interested in this game, but damn.. this commercial really did something to me. Super Paper Mario looks totally awesome to me now.

*Sigh* and I have yet to finish Thousand Year Door.

Actually, in a way, they kind of ARE hardware problems. Although I wouldn't call them hardware problems; instead, call them hardware limitations.

The thing is, the Wii's motion controls are not as capable as we originally thought they were back in 2005. I won't go into details, but basically, if we want this detection of "any direction in 3D space", we have to use the sensor bar for that (I'm not talking about tilt, just relocating the controller). This doesn't allow for a lot of free motion or movement.

On the other hand: In my opinion, awkward controls can still be cool. Take Wii Play, for example. A lot of people don't really like that game, but I love it. I love playing Table Tennis. Sure, I'm not replicating the exact same movements that I would in the real thing, but still, there's something intriguing about just using the pointer function to move my paddle.

So... there's a plus side to it. So yeah, "waggle controls" aren't necessarily just a programming decision, but the programmers don't really have the choice of making the real movements detectable.

As a sidenote: Waggle controls can be good or bad. It just depends on you you implement it.
