^Playing anything standing up in gamestop is uncomfortable though. If you played it at home, you wouldn't have any problems.

Right you can't play the Wii sitting down. I think you remember when I was over your crib, and we were playing Resident Evil: Umberlla Chronicles. For the love of gosh, I was standing right in front of the TV screen and the sensor bar couldn't pick up on my Wii-Mote. So I had to back up a couple of feet and just found out on to shoot, after about 15 minutes of play my arms got tired and I just dropped the Wii-mote and left. 

Neos, I'm not bashing the Wii, I'm seriously backing up my claims against it. As I get use to the console, when I get a Wii. Maybe my claims will change, but going over my peeps cribs and playing it. I sense that it's a totally different experience than with a conventional controller via X360, PS3.

I really don't understand that at all. The way that you play that you described is exactly how I play all the time. Hunched over, resting my hands/elbows on my knees.

People are getting way too confused, possibly when they see Nintendo's ads of people standing and playing. Like I said earlier I don't stand for anything but GH and Wii Sports. RE4, Trauma Center, SMG, SSBB, Zelda: TP, SvR, Madden, MoH:H2, and MP3 are all games i've played sitting down resting comfortably and i've never felt awkard or uncomfortable.

Edit: just saw the post about RE:UC, haven't played that myself but using the arcade mode in MOH:H2 I had no problem sitting down.  I'm guessing your sensor bar setup isn't ideal and is why you are thinking that standing is a neccessity.  Once you get it set up properly you can sit down and relax just like a "traditional" controller. 

I played the Wii at my cousin's house (DMeisterJ). And he knows how I felt about the Wii. When I was over there I played Wii Sports, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

Some awesome games by the way. But for me the Wii-mote was different to grasp then others because I for one am not use to it. Unlike some rabid fanboys who love Nintendo will defintely find ways to get use to it in like 20 minutes and say its a awesome experience.

And to tell you the truth the Wii-mote is awesome itself. Maybe once I get one I can pass judgement on the experience. I'm more like telling you a personal experience from me playing it over a peeps house.

You play like that in games that use the sensor bar?  

Cause whenever I had to use the bar in Zelda, I had to change how I was sitting.

You can execute a spin with a nunchuk shake as well, if you find spreading the waggle helps you cope.

The camera only bothered me very rarely. I just put it down to the fact that this game is incredibly 3D in ways that no other game I've played has been. I mean, most games do bind you to to a mostly 2D playfield, simply because gravity works that way.

And people who can't play Wii while sitting baffle me. Just rest the wrist of your wiimote-holding hand on your knee to stabilize the pointer and put your nunchuk hand wherever feels comfortable. If you don't need IR, you can leave a hand at either side for total slackness.

didn't know u were cousins with DMeisterJ

OT: Wonder if Ninty expected these type of problems. lol 

I pretty sure you had to least pick your arm up off your knees just to point and click to get to somewhere else on the screen. It's rather tedious. And I watched my cousin play Zelda for a couple of minutes and noticed he had to move around alot just to get himself comfortable.

Just plain and simple your arms can get tired.

Swing your arm, not your wrist.

I will try that out, never thought of it that way. Maybe its the ads that Nintendo presents makes me think what I think. Maybe I always thought Nintendo required you to stand and move your arms around like gestures to get the full experience.

idk, but I will use that technique for future reference, bro.
