Resident Evil, Game On With Wii

oneils writes "Chris Morris of CNN.com outlines some interesting gameplay impressions of Nintendo's Wii. He explains that the new controller works well with first person shooter games like Metroid Prime, but, currently, falls short in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Morris' impression is that this setback can be rectified by 'optimization.'" From the article: "Imagine holding your TV remote control by its ends and pretending it's a steering wheel. Substitute the Wii controller and you've got an idea of how to control 'Excite Truck'. Driving's pretty easy. The real fun comes when you hit a hill and go sailing into the air. The object is to land with all four wheels on the ground. To do that you'll have to tilt the controller back and forth away from you to stabilize the truck. It's frenetic and fast-paced - and seemed to be everyone's favorite game. I agreed." Several readers also wrote in to mention that Resident Evil will be coming to the Wii. No word on if it's RE5, or a spin-off/remake. Lots of related links below, please Read More. Update: 05/10 20:41 GMT by Z : Joystiq has pictures of a Zapper attachment for the Wiimote.

I'm really glad to see that ExciteTruck is fun.

I'm expecting a lot of fun for this console. It will certainly be the only one I want to sink money into, so here's to hoping Mario, Zelda, and Red Steel also don't suck!
Any other news about Elebits?

Excite Truck sounds like a blast

...again, Nintendo is going to win at having the games that are the most 'fun'; but having to stand/twist/turn is just going to bring you into the game that much more, and make you (and others watching you) smile and laugh. All this about the controller, and the more we hear about it, it sounds like it's going to be more of a game feature than anything since the rumble pack.

I'm already cracking up trying to keep up with Super Mario DDR, so I can only imagine how the Wii games will make you move!
