Here's my opinion on the Wii controller:

It's going to take a lot of getting used to. This isn't like "Oops, I mixed up the A and B buttons " but you actually have to hold the remote at the screen, and aim it well. At first, you'll have to repeat certain movements over and over again to have them register on screen. After a lot of practice, though, you should be swinging that thing around like a pro. I don't know how much endurance you'll need to have while constantly having to point at the screen, but I guess it depends on whether you're sitting or standing, holding your arm out or just pointing with your wrist. The nunchaku extension is the same way in having it work with the remote at the same time. I believe that once people get used to the controller, it will work pretty well. So, steep learning curve, but you'll get used to it.

I'm guessing that if you want to learn how to use it well, WarioWare is perfect for learning the basics. It gives you a bunch of simple tasks, like slashing an object like a samurai, balancing objects on screen with the remote held in a "waiter" fashion, and making stabbing motions accurately, to name a few. I saw a demonstration of its velocity-sensitivity, so it would be interesting to see how they work that into games.


I'll take some pics of my free shit and add them in when I get around to it. I had to juggle two midterms, a paper, and another assignment during E3
