$50

Wii only has a "handful" of good games when compared to the HD twins.



All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.

Well I refuse to use the nunchuck since its motion controls yes?

So can i play Zelda swords and DKC and Kirby with the D-pad alone?


Kirby and Metroid other M just use the remote so you don't have to use the nunchuck.  DKC however uses the analog stick on the nunchuck for movement while you tap the A button on the wii remote to make your character jump so I think that title will have limited motion controls if any.

I dont even understand. Kirby "just" uses the remote? Well isnt that motion controls?

So bottom line is that all three of Kirby and Zelda swords and Donky Kong will require motion controls in some form, correct?

If Kirby is going to use a control scheme similar to Metroid other M than no it isn't motion controls.  You would hold the remote sideways and the experience would be similar to using the classic nes controllers where you would do everything with the dpad and the a or b buttons.  You would not have to shake the controller or use any type of motion controls everything would be strictly button based and that includes aiming, movement, jumping etc.

Good to hear. Now if only they make that possible for Donky Kong too then Ill be fine with Zelda Sword doing motion controls and Id buy a Wii for those 3 games.

They may make it possible for Donkey Kong I don't see why they wouldn't make it a option since they already have their major platformer Super Mario Galaxy 1 2 that pushes motion controls.

I am in a similar situation as you I have been looking at getting a Wii but I don't like motion controls.  That is why I have been playing close attention to what kind of controls the games that interest me use.  That way if I do decide to take the jump I can support the titles that give me an option to not use motion controls.

Theres at least Fire Emblem and Muramasa that are really good games that are meant without motion.

$89.99 and a free game. That's about how much the Wii is worth to me.

and Little King's Story, a game that would have benefitted from the pointer, but didn't use it

I dont want to insult you or anything, but I think, little kings story as many Wii games, is made towards a younger audience. Tough, it may also be me that have become too serious.
