Well, I might as well share some of my thoughts on the Wii:
-I'm glad that Nintendo is reaching out to a bigger audience with games for the casual gamer as well as the Hardcore gamer. It's great for the person playing the game, and it's a great buisness decision on Big N's part (if there's more playing Nintendo's games, Nintendo will get more fans and thus more money), but I'm just afraid that somewjere along the line, Nintendo might forget about the Hardcore gamer. I'm not saying they will, they've already got a great line of games made for the skilled gamer looking for a challange (Super Mario Galaxy, SSBB, Metroid Prime 3, etc.), but I'm afraid they won't produce enough of these games and lose the core gamer. But hey, I think Big N knows what they're doing, so I know Nintendo will manage to keep the Hardcore gamer, and attract some casual gamers as well.
-On the other hand, the Wii-mote's motion sensing capabilities will provide all sorts of imaginative game ideas for the console, like what Nintendo's doing with the DS. In a world of crap games like Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis and Drake of the Ninty-nine Dragons, isn't that what the hardcore gamer really wants-nay-needs?
-I heard that in UK, because of a law preventing a electronics being left on over-night or something, Nintendo can't have Wii-Connect 24 in that area. I wonder how NoE will get past that one? Maybe people in the UK will have to download the WC24 content online manually?
-Here's the games I'm hoping to get at launch:
-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (At first, I wasn't going to get this game, because I just wasn't that mature of a gamer. Recently, I thought to myself, "Robert, stop being such a wimp and go get the game. It's been highly hyped, and probably a great adventure to boot. Don't deny yourself probably the best game for the Wii at launch.")
-Rayman Raving Rabbids(At first, I had no interest in the title. I thought it was going to be another installment in the Rayman series, nothing special. But after I read all about the unique things the creators are placing in the game in an article in NP, I immediatly wanted the game at launch.)
-Excite Truck (When I heard about this game at E3, I automatically wanted the title. Why? I guess I liked the idea. All of the physics-defying jumps of Excite Bike, but with big ol' trucks.)
-Elebits (A creative idea definately worth checking out. Could this be Nintendo's answer to Katamari Damacy?)
-WarioWare: Smooth moves (What can I say? I'm a WarioWare fanatic.)
Those are my thoughts on the Wii.
