But Nintendo announcing a 1:1 movement sword fighting game? I've never experienced that before. Nobody has! That's why we experienced gamers love Wii so much.

 

 

Why is it that Wii owners are still excited over the potential of the system, when that system has yet to deliver on the promise of that potential?

"Next year I'll be able to buy another peripheral that will improve an inaccurate motion-sensing control system...you know, the same broken control scheme that is so REVOLUTIONARY that it needs fixing!"

Nintendo only wants to keep selling peripherals and marketing double-speak...and guys like frybread are eating it up like bon-bons.

 

As for the potential for the motion controlls, whether or not Nintendo matched expectations is a matter of opinion.  I am impressed with Madden's use of the controls, as using the controller to juke, stiff arm, and passing reduces the amount of buttons that I have to memorize and recall "on the fly".

As for other games, using the wii-mote for aiming has it's obvious advantage.  If your pointer is way off from where you are pointing it at the screen, move the sensor bar.  Another game that uses the wii-mote well is Resident Evil 4.  I played the game a lot with a joystick, and I can tell you the experience is much better with the wii-mote.
