The controller would be better if it was in the shape of a tennis raquet or bat. The motion sensing controller has potential, it just needs more specificness and variety.

A motion sensing device shaped like a television remote control seems underplayed.

Haven't tried it, though.

Don't particularly want to.

ya, a tennis racket would have really made it better becuause that is SO much more versatile for a range of games.

My friend ordered a set from Nintendo but they sent him two by mistake. So I'm either paying $20 or $40 depending on whether he was charged for one or two.
with no hi def support, how much do the components improve the picture of the wii?

Super Monkey Ball is a lot of fun on the Wii. However I'm currently stuck on a stage thats REALLY pissing me off with the level of difficulty.
I took monkey ball back it was so shit.
The Wiimote didn't work with it properly and it was just terrible.
I got another Wiimote and Wii Play which isn't much better than Monkeyball.

But yes Odium is correct in saying that Wii Sports is the best title for it. But to be fair i have not tried Zelda yet.

You stupid dumb ass...

ITS ALSO A COMPLETE MIRROR WORLD OVER THE CUBES!!!

For some reason instead of just mirroring links model, they... erm... mirrored the entire world...?

(Zelda lore, Link has ALWAYS been left handed, but they changed him to right in the Wii version, because of the wiimote, lol)
noticed the little curly symbol at the end of the sentence? (there it is again!)
thats a questionmark. that marks a question. I didn't know and therefore asked said 'question'

dork :dork:

And even if it wasn't a question, I don't see how that statement would warrant calling you a stupid dumb ass.

Im gonna really give you guysa bit of advice. Get laid. That remark wasn't even a serious remark, it was a joke, hence the all caps.

also, when a comedian tells a joke and the audience doesn't laugh, does that mean the audience doesn't get jokes, or that the comedian can't deliver?

everyone probably figured as much, but IGN just tore Ubisoft a new asshole with their Far Cry: Vengeance review:
The Wii build successfully capitalizes on Nintendo's innovative remote, enabling a comfortably high level of control speed and accuracy as gamers run and gun down opponents in the jungles and in the surrounding waters. But just as Far Cry initially set a new graphic high on PC, so does it set a new graphic low on Wii, with visuals so blurry, smeary, sluggish and ugly that you'll question whether the title could realistically run on Nintendo 64.
Score: 4.0 :L

An Innovation for it. if I may.
The Wii should be adaptable to a tennis racket or a golf club. Well, I can't see how it could be attached to a bowling bowl though. A bit too dangerous.

Because EVERYONE has one. You don't want to be the only one in your block not throwing remotes at your HDTV in the most spastic of ways, amirite?
