At least Nintendo got with the program and did something different that sets them apart. The developers haven't caught on yet though, which sucks. But at least the Wii has more great games in its first year than the 360 and PS3. *shrug

You say that like every previous system hasn't had a lousy selection throughout the first year or so. I don't exactly remember that many A List titles when the PS2 launched. When I first got mine, I basicly only used it for PS1 games and Dynasty Warriors.

Thing is, the system doesn't have to be about the novelty. Developers have the choice of utilyzing the classic controller or the gamecube controller as well. Fact is ports from other systems should allow regular controllers since they weren't developed with the Wiimote in mind, but not many developers seem to get it. Not to mention, I'm sure their are plenty of "hardcore gamers" that want to download games they grew up with off the Virtual Console.

On a side note, if this does happen... damn. I just bought a 360.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just look at reviews on the ds where games didn't use much the second screen and people are complaining about not using enough of the touch screen or the use of a second screen... I already can see people complaining about a game not using enough the wiimote. hell, it already happen with mario party 8 where people complain about to much mini-games not using the wiimote...

Anyone who enjoys Marvel Ultimate Alliance while being forced to use the Wiimote has more patience then a saint. My point is I love games that are specifically made for the Wiimote, but do not force me to use it for a game where it hinders the gameplay. Midway had enough sense to allow regular controls for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, regardless of whether or not people want to say the game sucks at least they had some sense. Also my point wasn't that they should disable the use of the Wiimote, simply give you the option of which you want to use.

The Wiimote is also not quiet the same as the touch screen, seeing as how that's a whole screen on the handheld that's going to waste if you don't use it. Not to mention the touch screen leaves alot less room for error then having to swing the Wiimote a certain way for EVERYTHING.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Unless I'm mistaken, an attempt to revive a really really old game. The original was on the NES if I'm right.
