but I still like lego.. Its ingenious toy, and I hope that my children will be fortunate as me and have access to these expensive little toys.

Cultivating Great Minds is what toys such as lego and those like it will do.

ya I'd say somebody must like it :P, not me but somebody, I do have a great amount of respect for that console though, in a world of games when people think the main advantage is graphics, it sure proved people wrong (including me, I thought it would be this one year fad, and then lose interest with everyone), but I think if nintendo was to bring out the wii 2 or whatever, it won't be as big a hit. which is why I believe Nintendo will have to bring out a console next gen that will focus on processing power. though the wiimote is here to stay, if they plan on implementing backwards compatability. but hey thats what I think. I'm most likely wrong, ha.

guess what, there are some products that are UNO-related but they never sell as well as UNO itself

Okay Wii can sell big for once, but i don't see Wii 2 or something alike coming, it won't happen

and then let's see who sells more. Face it, price and gimmick control are the only selling points of the wii

Of course Microsoft and Sony will put a lot of emphasis on casual gamers in the cycle, but I believe we will really see titles like Sony Dog or MicroDogs. Instead I see the companies expanding their portfolio of 1st titles and really encourage their developers think "Casual".

You are a fool. You assume that graphical power = hardcore game.. It doesnt but no point in even trying to convince someone that brain washed of how wrong they are. I guess the Ps2 didnt have a single hardcore title considering how weak it was when compared to the Gc, and 360.. Oh but wait it had hardcore titles... Odd how a 233mhz system has no problems doing it but you fools are some how trying to get everyone to believe its no longer possible simply because a Nintendo console is the weakest this gen. When it was SOny the last two gens all the casual games and shovel ware were no problem. Now that its on Nintendo its the end of gaming though..

I honestly don't see how you would rather play Zelda with conventional controllers after playing it with the wiimote. I found using the wiimote/nunchuck combination to be far more comfortable (since my hands didn't need to be in close proximity of eachother) and let's not even mention shooting arrows!!!

The only thing I didn't like about using the new wii controller was not having the same camera control as I did on the Wind Waker, but other than that, I just don't see how playing Zelda the old way could be better.

---

Take Resident Evil 4, I honestly can't imagine how anyone could have the same level of accuracy with regular analog controllers than with the wiimote. The way I see it, for a shooter, the only way to get better accuracy than a wiimote is by using a mouse and keyboard.

i guess its just a matter of opinion and preference. like i said, i love the Wii for Wii Play and Wii Sports, and will probably look into other games of the sort. but for more traditional games i'm not sure. it could be that i'm just used to Zelda and Mario utilizing classic controls, and i'm not keen on the change...i dunno. i think its because with traditional games i'm used to sitting down and playing. standing and moving your arms and body can be jarring for something like Zelda or Mario, but for Wii Bowl, Tennis, Pool, Boxing, Golf etc it isn't jarring because your body is already programmed to have to move to do those sports, especially if you do them regularily like i do. if Wii 2 utilizes a similar interface as the Wii, thats fine, just as long as Sony and Microsoft doesn't try to mimic Wii's success and forget about traditionalist by scrambling to incorporate motion controls into their future systems at the expense of standard controls. not slagging Nintendo or anything, just stating my opinion.

Have you even played a Wii game? Seriously have you? Only Wii play and Wii sports force you to get off the couch out of all th games you mentioned. I think you dont really own one at all. Why else would you assume you have to stand up for every game on Wii?

"standing and moving your arms and body can be jarring for something like Zelda or Mario"

Really? you actually stood up to play those two games? I have never slouched as much as I did when I played Zelda. I was brilliant! I had my left hand (nunchuck) resting on the couch's arm, and I would rest my head on my left hand, and my right hand would be on my hip barely ever pointing at the screen, unless I had to shoot arrows and/or use the boomerang, so please forgive me for saying this but is it not possible that you are not using the controllers properly?

I find that when using the classic controllers, I have to have my two hands in close proximity which feels much more limiting to me than the much more comfortable/independent feel I get from wii controls. But that is just me...

Nintendo learned it from Sony.. How clueless can you really be? PS1, tons of shovel ware. PS2 tons of shovel ware, only the PS3 escaped shovel ware because everyone went to the Wii with their games. I think you are honestly just pissed off you cant play Hannah Montana. I see no other reason to cry about the shovel ware on Wii when it didnt bother you on PS2.. Of course you probably loved all the preschool games, Power Rangers, Blues Clues, My little Pony on PS2 right?

well youre damned and its a little late for that. Lots of people consider the Wii to be the future. I can see why Fanboys dont of course because it doesnt carry their companies name. If it was the Sony Wii, you people would be buying it up and not saying one tihng about the shovel ware. After all it didnt bother you on PS2
