Nintendo Wii

I don't have a Wii of my own yet (yeah, I'm about as rich as your average street corner hobo), but I did get a chance to play one at a Gamestop a few weeks ago. And I was sorely disappointed; it felt like I was waving my arms in front of the TV like an ape as I watched Link do whatever the hell he wanted anyway. This usually included shooting arrows into the ground, and swiveling his head around indiscriminately.

Please for the love of god tell me that was just a shitty store demo, and not what the actual system plays like.

I call bullshit. Link doesn't swivel his head around with the remote movements.

Hey, it was a few weeks ago. Like I'm going to remember precise details about a game I disliked based upon a few minutes of play? Unless it's a failure on levels previously unseen, like Captain Novolin. And really, it was just control issues with the Wii itself, less than with the game. The camera was jerky, the controls were unresponsive. I was simply asking if this was normal, if it was an issue with demo systems, or whatever.

Though I do clearly remember the only being able to shoot arrows into the ground part. That was pretty irritating.
