You guys seem to care if you buy the system. I don't really. If you find it fun then you do. I just don't see the big deal because history tells me this won't work.

The funny thing is somethings that have been said here are exactly the same things I heard about the sidewinder gamepad with motion detection and that was how many years ago? So where was the clamour for this other then in the plug and play games I see on Walmart shelves?

Oh yeah but all I care about is hating on Nintendo. Funny thing is if Sony had announced this first I wonder what the response would have been.......... hmm I wonder.

Here's what I see right now - Wii is an overpriced Gamecube with an add-on. Yeah the motion detection could have been added on to the Gamecube, because the hardware on the Wii isn't much better then the GC. On top of that look at the track record for all of these add-on gimicks. Remember the light gun? How about the SNES mouse? Yeah these were fun but they couldn't sustain an entire system. My guess is that developers will tack the motion detection onto the games to meet Nintendo's demands. Read the gamespot review of Zelda on Wii and read what I've been saying all along -

The Bad: Wii-specific elements feel tacked on; graphics and sound sometimes go from nostalgic to dated.


I like Zelda but what have I been saying for a while now?

And Shane answer ths one if Nintendo cared about their gamers why did Zelda come out on the Wii first and not the GC?

I give that the controller will work for some games and be fun but not for all of them. It's kind of the same thing I'm going through with Tony Hawk with PSP, it just doesn't work with that control scheme.

Oh and Brad what Nintendo is doing is called desperation, it's also a business practice.

But oh well go back to telling me I hate them, which would explain why I have GC and actually like the games I have it, and would also explain why SNES is my favorite system of all time. But oh well what do I know I just hate them with a passion............

And most of all I don't really care because as I stated before I need to get my mind off of things going on at home.
