Of course it provides a 'watered down' experience - when the games in question are ports of the PS3 or the Xbox 360. The hardware and capabilities of the machine cannot compare, so the developers have to shoehorn the equivalent game into the Wii's specs and in the process, trim it down.
If you look at individual titles made for the Wii (not ports of other console's games) then no, I really don't think the experience is watered down. Games are games, and people (should) be playing them for the enjoyment and competition. Maybe we should ask the question about some other consoles games that rely so much on graphics that the point of the game is lost and the entertainment factor is lost. Is this a watered down games experience?
So many sites out there tell you if you have got your email address or password wrong when you log in, when what it should do is tell you that your email OR password are incorrent. By entering someone elses email address (if used for login) into one of these sites, you can tell if they have registered or not.
Indeed, the C64 'Drive Music' was a horror to behold!!! I remember being round a freind's house and looking through a box of disks he had borrowed and came across 'Drive Music'. We thought it might be a demo disk with great music from Outrun or whatever and slapped it in......
LOAD *,8,1 (or whatevrr) later and the drive started to play Happy Birthday. we chuckled for a few seconds before we realised it was the heads making the noise!!!!! ARRRRGH
