Wii-mote In Action

Jack Lancer writes "Gameworld Network (which is either a network of gameworlds or a gameworld of networks) has posted an epic collection of streaming E3 videos which clearly depicts each and every playable Wii game and how exactly one has to swing, wave, shake, point, wiggle and/or jostle the Wiimote in order to play." And once again this poses the question — is this the future of gaming UI? Sure seems like a great idea for a FPS.

    Well, I worship Nintendo/Apple, although more Nintendo lately, I'm still upset about the intel transition (There are products apple could release that could alleviate that however, a headless mac with non-shit graphics that isn't $2000 would be one those). I think Nintendo has done reasonably well at building up towards this launch, and I'm happy about that, because honestly, the Gamecube launch blew chunks.

    On the other hand, I HATE the name, I still want to know what genius is responible, and what names were rejected in its favor. The system is always going to be "The Revolution" to me. It's been weeks now and saying "Wii" in conversation still makes me physically cringe.

    Nintendo is the only company with a console I will buy. Microsoft is an evil company, that makes lousy products, and has been Convicted multiple times of abusing their monopoly status. Sony is likewise very malignant, and meddlesome in legislation. The Rootkit fiasco and their obsession with crippled, proprietary, expensive formats round out reasons not to like them. Nintendo on the other hand, doesn't really do anything at all I don't like. They've historically made their games difficult to copy, but I don't really have a problem with that.
