ok

Let's talk about Red Steel and how no gameplay video has ever shown someone who can hit the broad side of a barn with the intuitive controller

Did you watch the Metroid video with the "expert" controls? It works fine.

Despite the problems he had, he said it was an absolute blast.
I believe it. I'm ready for it. The problems seem worth it. Wii60 for me.

I'll probably wind up with both versions of Zelda because I'm giving the Wii a shot first. Oops. Good thing I'm makin' money.

The sensor bar thing is kinda sad. I'll be reorganizing my game room, probably. And/or I will be using the other room for this system until I move out. Which is good because the other room is basically my parents' room, and I might be able to get them to play some wii sports. It seems like a blast. I can't wait.

Any time the phrase "the problems seem worth it" describe the feeelings toward a game console, I know I'm in trouble. First it was the PSP (the shitty controls seem worth it), now it's this. Everything I read in that article seems to be have some caveat to it.

Speaking of controls, I've been following this heat seeker game it may look like a ps2 game (it is If I recall correctly) but I do love some dog fighting. But I can't think of how using the wiimote will work at all for a jet game, thoughts?

except the PSP isn't that much fun. It is pretty though.

That article verifies all my fears about the Wii. Its going to be a hassle to fuck around setting up the controller every time and most of the games are going to be gimmicky crap.

LOL @ "two to three hours" for Zelda. Reminds me of Virtual Boy.

Wii sounds like shit. If you're willing to re-arrange your room for the sensor, limit yourself to games that are designed for the Wiimote only, and accept graphics far below the norm, you can have a good time. Games for everyone, indeed.

That sounds poopy =(

I was trying to sugar coat it a bit. But yeah, exactly.

The article says about what I expected- It's new hardware during launch. Some brilliant games are offset by gimmicky crap, and getting used to the setup will take some work. Eh, whatever. It's something I'm willing to deal with, and I suspect that a world that supports DDR will support this too.
