I like the fact that it's backwards compatible with the NES / SNES / N64 and GameCube. Top stuff.

I can see people get bored of the controller very quickly. Gimmick.

I'd only really consider one for Zelda and Mario, same issue with the PS3, few exclusive titles, sorry one now MS are playing hard ball and even then the last two verions weren't great in Gran Turismo

I am right in thinking that there is going to be an exclusive version of a Star Wars lightsabre game due to the fact how the control works?


All seems a bit to much effort to play a game, sometimes i like sitting quietly in an evening, not jumping around waving my arms in the air

Looks awesome to me, reckon it'll be great fun and nothing like my extremely mediocre experience of playing on a 360.

^^ I cannot agree more with you. The controller sounds like so much fun, used as lightsabre.
I actually think that Wii is going to be a silent winner in this years oversea (USA and Japan) holiday season. As I already own the Xbox360 (currently servicing) , it will be the Wii console standing next to it. There is no need for another graphic-powermachine. Yep, Xbox360 and Wii (in other words Zelda) is the combo to get.

Can't wait for the release of Star Wars game on the Wii. Read somewhere that the Wii sold 600000 units in 8 days in the US.
