      That video is pretty sweet. Do all the Wii games come with the system I wonder? Or in one game? They don't seem involved enough to be games on their own.

        Wii sports has a bunch of those crummy-looking games all within it.

        Speculation says it might be bundled with the console to give people a feel for how it works.

        WE MIGHT FIND OUT ON SEPTEMBER 14TH GOGOGOGO

          The only real problem I have with the Wii is it's whole "Games for nongamers" philosophy that Nintendo is pushing.

          Do I really want to play a game my grandmother can pick up and beat?

            Not a game that your grandmother could pick up and beat.

            A game that your grandmother could pick up and ENJOY PLAYING.

              You know what I mean though, a game designed for nongamers is going to lack certain elements that a game designed for gamers is going to have.

              Difficulty level, controls, etc.

              All are going to be dumbed down.

                Um.

                The controls are going to be totally new to everyone. Of course some games will be very easy for nongamers to get into thanks to these controls, but others will surely be very difficult to master.

                As for gameplay difficulty? Is it unheard of for games to have multiple difficulty levels? No. It's not.

                And in the end, not all games will even make full use of the motion sensitivity anyway.

                  Games are meant to be enjoyed by all. There's no 'dumbed down'. It's more like 'standardized'. People know how to use remote controls. Five major buttons on that thing that people even know the location of without looking. Channel up, down, volume up, down, and power. The Wii remote is so basic and easy to remember locations of buttons that it totally breaks down the wall that once existed between controllers and nongamers before.

                  You know how stupid people look when they don't know where keys are on their keyboard and have to 'hunt and peck' for them? They had to do that on controllers too. With this, they might for three minutes until they get it.

                  When I get this thing, I'm gonna see how many of my relatives will play it when they come over for Thanksgiving and post it here. Most of them are 50-60 years old. We'll see

                            It was basically to say "Production of the processor has been well underway and about 2 million are ready to be placed into Wii consoles"

                            Yeah. September 14th is the 4 REELS day of information.

                            omg 5 more dayz
