Number of Wii in Target

You don't like anything.  And everything I say is green, which is why I have a green name.

Including your post above?

Paradox...does...not...compute... (brain explodes)

Mua-ha-ha.

I got to dick around with the Wii also (I like this phrase).

Excite Truck pretty much sucks. It's a shame it's going up against Ridge Racer 7 on day 1.

The controller is actually TOO sensitive and way way way too light. I need to play Red Steel but I very much fear the possibility of it being harder to aim with than a mouse or controller.

In other news, Nintendo knew the controller was hard to aim so they made every button that you aim at super huge. Think of it as Reverse Dead Rising menus (which were too goddamn small and unreadable).

BUT! Component Cables are officially in Gamestop stores at launch (like day 1 launch, not now through Christmas launch). So yea, I might get it still, if only for TC and Zelda.

I figure it will take a year before devs get good at programming for the motion sensor.  Took them long enough with analog sticks.  Also, this "thing" that helps people program for the Wiimote only came out a month ago.  Forget the name, don't feel like looking it up, but ask if you really want me to find it.

The Wiimote IS very sensitive, almost overly so...but I started to get use to it after about 20 minutes on Excite Truck.

On another note, where is the Wii advertising?  I've seen ZERO commercials on TV, and more instances of that disturbing demon baby doll PS3 commercial than I care to remember.

Does that episode of South Park count?

Also there are some pamphlets at Target, where they have an anemic end-cap.

Sony bought an endcap and two feet of shelf at BestBuy only to put cardboard on it.

I dont understand why they are using Excite Truck as their demo game. The game blows, it looks Average, and boring even. I watched my friend play it for about 20 minutes. So far I am not excited about it. The more I see the more it looks to be moving to gimmick and less to gaming revolution. I think things like Wii Sports will be great with it, but I cant see people wanting to get it as their primary system.

I'm glad my sensible side kicked in at the last minute and overcome my fanboyish tendences.  I canceled my Wii pre-order saturday, got my money back, and couldn't be happier with that decision.  If it lives up to the hype I'll buy one early next year.   :-D

The only thing on the Wii I am remotely excited about is the new Zelda game.

I would spend $300 to play the new Zelda.  In fact, I am going to pay $300 to play the new Zelda.  Later, I will cry because I could not hold out and get the green one.  So let it be written....
