Any S and Super Any S. Probably because I've grown up around people who called any game console or handheld I played "the Nintendo." I've gotten into the habit of specifying.

"Super Any S" hurts my eyes. I say NES and Super Nintendo. "Super Nintendo" because that's easier for me to say than SNES, "NES" because "Nintendo" alone could refer to a billion things and NES is a convenient way to refer to the original. I'm not sure why people would get angry at you for saying Super Nintendo unless it makes them think "dadgum baby-boomers playin' their Super Nintendos instead o' gettin' jobs... rassa-frass..."

N64 because Nintendo 64 is wordy, GameCube because I don't like the abbreviations GC or GCN, Wii because it's one syllable...

You didn't say wot wot.

It looks like another game has Wii MotionPlus.

But "W" has more syllables than "Wii"

Wow... for once, I agree with what most of you guys said.

Not sure what all this means, but it sounds like "Sorry, we didn't make the sensor good enough the first time, buy this"
Yeah, pretty much. Besides, can't the Wii already do 1:1, it's just that devs are too lazy? (I mean, I'm genuinely unsure about that).

...Why didn't they do this to begin with? Isn't this what we expected when Wii came out, for our motions to be reproduced on-screen 1 to 1?
I think it's kind of like how fast they made the DS Lite. You know, for a company that doesn't ever really release patches (which is neither here nor there), Nintendo certainly seems to be designing things with that kind of mindset.

And enough with the God-dang cash-in bundles already!

Additionally, while we're on the topic:

Enn-Eee-Ess
Super Enn-Eee-Ess
Enn-sixty-four
GameCube
Wii
Pee-Ess-Three
Three-sixty

I say them as:
En-Ee-Es
Es-En-Ee-Es
N64 OR Nintendo 64 (depends on the person I'm speaking to.)
GameCube
Wii

Pe-Es One
Pe-Es Two
Pe-Es Three

Xbox
Xbox 360 OR 360 (Again, depends on the person I'm talking to.)

Nope.  Well, only in a few isolated cases like tilt control in Kororinpa.

Nope.

Well then, it's settled. That's all I needed to hear.

I'm still skeptical. I think the Wii is fully capable of 1:1 motion control and this is a big fat jumpin' flappin' tap-dancin' scam.
