If we have learned anything from the DS, Wii and WiiFit it is that the more negative comments there are the better the product will be received by the general public. From the comments here so far I would say Nintendo has another hit on their hands.

Forgot about ThisNext. Did you go with the Precor?

Which brand/model of elliptical trainer did you choose? I'm looking to get one myself.

Steve,

It's not beta, it's permanent invite only. So you will have to go whore for an invite if you want to play.

Looks like they are calling it a success:

Why are so many people so upset over the lunch date? I guess there are a lot of kids on here and this is their first or second launch, but as an adult who has seen the launching of may generations of consoles I can tell you that the launch date means absolutely nothing. What makes a console successful is games. Nintendo seems to have a lot of third parties on board this time so hopefully there wont be long droughts like there were with the N64 and Gamecube.

To those that are criticizing the look of the graphics of the games shown: Nintendo showed a mix between games that are almost complete, games that are in development, and just plain tech demos. I mean, you really can't take the tennis game they showed and use that as an example to attack the graphical powers of the Wii as it was no where near a complete and polished game. The best way to imagine the graphical possibilities of the Wii is to look at Zelda. Considering that until a short while ago it was a GC game, one can assume that it doesn't take much advantage of the Wii beyond the remote. So if the Wii is really two or even three times as powerful as the GC you can imagine what second generation games will look like. The Wii will have good graphics and great games.
