Electronic Arts Plays Catch-Up After Shrugging Off Wii's Appeal (Bloomberg)

Shane : We won't know how well 3rd parties can do for sure on Wii until they actually get some great games out for it. And buying MySims for Wii won't be silly if it was a game designed from the ground up for the Wii remote, and not a game that was taken from a keyboard/mouse configuration and cramped onto a gamepad.

And PLEASE tell me why I should use the gamecube version of Zelda over the Wii version when I can control the Wii version's swordplay, archery, and other items/weapons so much better than any previous zelda? I'd love to hear your reasoning behind this. :)

One thing EA is capable of - marketing the hell out of a game. I can see MySims being a huge project for them, and I suspect it will sell through the roof. Really does appeal to the core Wii demographic (might even buy it for my wife if it gets good reviews - she always liked the idea of the Sims..).

Ive been playing the hell out of Zelda (nearish to the end now), and I couldn't imagine playing it without the Wiimote. The fishing, sword action & grappling (integral part to the game) is all very much enhanced by the Wiimote - and would feel lessened on a normal controller.

My wife is addicted to the "lure fishing" (its been 3 nights in a row now... doing nothing but fishing!). There is 0% chance she would have played at all on a normal controller.
