I'm curious to hear what more people thing of the Wii once they get their hands on it. Sure, everyone was all giddy at E3, but that's because it was the first time we got our hands on The New Thing from Nintendo (it's also because Sony's presence was shit and Microsoft had all of its best stuff behind closed doors). They could have made the Wii controller look like a piece of poo and there would have still been four-hour lines at the booth. Now that I've spent some time with the system at various events (E3, Leipzig, Tokyo), I have to say that I'm still kind of iffy on it. OK, wait, let me clarify this a bit. I'm not iffy on the concept -- Nintendo is so right-on about removing the controller as the barrier for non-gamers -- and I'm not iffy on the console itself (except for the fact that it's not HD), I'm just iffy on the software lineup. What games are you most looking forward to playing on it? A Mario, a Metroid, and Zelda all right around a system launch -- a Nintendo fan's dream come true! Except it doesn't quite feel like that. Zelda? That should have just been a GameCube game. Metroid? Same deal. Mario? OK, yeah, it's kind of cool -- but is it better? Is it a better Mario experience than what we've had in the past? I'd seriously question that.
