I'm more worried about the delay in those videos. He's playing Star Wars and every time he swings it takes a full second to respond and replicate on screen!

EDIT:

So it is... seems like I've got the accuracy of those toilet-roll motion controls! lol :)

1.3 - I'm sorry
but that looked bloody good to me and way more interesting than what we've seen on the Wii. I don't care if Ninty fans thumb me down to eternity. That looked more like what gamers we're expecting from the Wii-mote and if they can also do a better job with FPSs ... and drop the 360's price comparable to the Wii, then I have no clue have core gamers won't go get a 360 instead of a Wii.

This won't kill the Wii at all I think cause Nintendo's Wii is getting a chunk of it's momentum from the non traditional gamer this gen and they are the core fanbase for Nintendo not core gamers. However, if MS can manage to get some "casual family friendly" games going on there too.... uhm, Nintendo will certainly feel it.

It'll fun to see what happens cause it was kinda obvious Nintendo and MS were in some sort of soft alliance to oust Sony's PS3 but now the 360 seems like it has it's sights on Nintendo's Wii and this maybe a battle it can hope to have a good fight on I'd think.

Very interesting

it looks like there is a delay between the swing of the remote and the action performed on screen. hopefully this is software and not hardware related. i stopped playing wii after i found out the controls were sloppy, i hope this addresses the wiis controller sloppiness, if not ill give it a miss.

" That looked more like what gamers we're expecting from the Wii-mote and if they can also do a better job "

Wii is already doing that.(The first harrypotter for Wii did exactly what you saw in the first video)
When the guy swings the controller, the starwars characters do NOT mimmick the movements. They are all static animations.

All im seeing is 3 Wii games, seriously they do not look like 360 games at all.

Cubear, i rather not say this but you are full of it.

@Zen,
...Sloppy? Its the developers who do not make good use of the Wii-mote. Try using Bluetooth to connect your Wii-mote to your pc and use Wiinmote. You can see how accurate it is.

2 - Star Wars!
OMG how cool would star wars be with this! I now just want another starwars FPS. Harry Potter would be interesting, but its already been done on the Wii with the wand waving. Golf would be pretty sweet also.

I was excited about the Aussie-made Star Wars Force Unleashed on Wii, because waving a lightsabre around would be kind of cool, but the graphics on the system really get me down and I'll probably get the 360 version.

Imagine having motion control and the power of the 360 or PS3!

3 - Sounds boring
Can't they come up with a better name for this other than the father of the evolutionary theory? Why not Archimedes while we're at it, at least that would make more sense. What a total marketing failure.

6.1 - Ugh
That would be terrible, and you know it x_x

It wouldn't fit with the gameplay at all, let alone how hard and frustrating it would be to control

Not really, one controller can move Ryu and the right one can do the attacks. Im sure it could work out. Either way it would be optional not mandatory.

i for one would want many game to have an option available to use this feature. the only issue i would have is the delay. What are we going to do if a FPS supports this online and normal controller? The delay would kill you

9 - what is strange
Is that there is an Xbox AND a PS3 version of the same controller. Does anyone else think this is odd? No one has really questioned the appearance of the PS3 Darwin with "X" button to boot. Is the controller being supported by M-soft and Sony as neither owns the right patents to make said Darwin controller? I'm curious what announcements will be made at E3. I personally think that Darwin may or may not be Newton and that perhaps Darwin is a third party controller for use with Xbox and PS3. What does everyone else think about the PS3 Darwin controller and the implications of its (very visible) appearance?

10 - innovation???
so first i see LIPS aka replicate of SingStar. now i see this. so when will i see X-Fit? nice one there. so much for always claiming how innovative they are making the best console and blah blah blah but most things i see are just some rip off from other's success. i smell flame war gonna come really soon if this gets official. for now it just create some big laugh for me.
