 Sim City doesn't need motion controls: the Wii's pointer is more than enough. In fact, there's not much I can think of that Sim City needs that the Wii can't offer: true, you wouldn't be able to use the pointer and buttons quickly enough to play an RTS on the system (without a peripheral), but Sim City hardly needs split-second timing. Besides, EA evidently has enough faith in the system's interface that they're porting over Spore, which I imagine needs a heckuva lot more buttons to play than Sim City...

And it's funny that you mention Shaun White, since that's actually the game that has me laughing the most. Not because I think it will be bad by any means, but because Ubisoft is taking out the simulation parts of the other consoles and dumbing the thing down for the Wii. Conclusion: Ubisoft=funny.

All seem interesting, but I'm mostly interested in Sim City. RRR3 looks good, but I still have to get the second one. I'm really pumped for Sim City though. I can't wait for it!!!

You may want to use the internet for something other than being anonymous, and find some information about the wii.. namely that it has a pointer.. that is what gives it the edge over other consoles for this type of game, and even rts games (although, rts games probably need more power under the hood as well -- hence pc is optimal)

Pretty much all they have to do to make Sim City Wii better than any PC version of the game I've played is root out the bugs and prevent chugging slowdowns. I'm hoping the fact that it's on an unpatchable platform of uniform capability will force them to address these issues. The last time I enjoyed Sim City on the PC it was on my Commodore 64.

Shaun snowboarding was also on pc, 360 and ps3. Ubisoft FAIL HARD on this one



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

 Thanks! That site is great to check out future Wiigames. There were even 2 games I didn't know where coming: Deadline and Drawn to Life.

The only two things I noticed that were odd were:

TimeSplitters 4 is put on the list. Do they know something we don't?
Spore, I thought that got canned for the Wii?
