The Wii is Here.

You know they had to stop making the NES guns the color they were originally? This is why sometimes you may see a grey one and other times you'll see orange ones. The one I have is orange

ps no i do believe I had a decent handle on spin attacking, but there would be times where I would shake it and it would do nothing and the guy would run into me. I believe Squeek said the same thing himself, so it's not just me, and it's not that we aren't competent. It's that shaking a controller is never as precise as pressing a button. I don't care if you can do it just as precisely, because that's just you... pressing a button is a digital action while shaking is analog-- if you try to press a button you will always either press it or not press it, but if you shake it, you might not shake it in just the right way or your shake might not activate the attack until later in the shake than you would expect due to having no clearly defined point of initiation.

it's just a litttle shake nothing big, even on twilight princess i didn't even need to move it 3cm to make it work and it always worked when i wanted to. maybe is your controler who knows i heard of a guy that can't make consecutive combos on zelda because the controler didn't work after he did the first attack. i like shaking this time more than pressing buttons because it feels good to do it, is not rocket sciense and it always spin when i shake. (so it's really just you and squeek)

and the wii zapper is white.....and seriously it doesn't even look or feel like a gun, it only is for more accurate shots in games like resident evil umbrella chronicles (wich i recomend everyone to check it out)

I got used to it.

And regarding the bomb planet, shaking the remote doesn't change Mario's direction, so you should still be able to throw a bomb where you want it. In fact, I didn't chain my bombs together. That was just a suggestion to you. I threw my bombs in the middle of a circle of trash so they'd hit a lot at once.

Just play the game more and it'll make more sense.

If you need help, get a friend to be your co-star. I started co-starring for a friend of mine then quit because it made the game way too easy for him. The co-star can do so much more than just collect star bits. You can make Mario jump, you can time a super jump, you can make him spin, and best of all, you can freeze enemies. Yeah, you can totally hold down (almost) anything that can hurt Mario. Projectiles, enemies, fire, whatever. You remember that planet that was in shambles and had those big rocks rolling down to you? I held one in place and let another one ram into it. Destroyed them both. The octopus boss? I held the coconuts in place so he had an easier time. You can even hold 1-ups still if they're roaming around. It's ridiculous.

And =( at tokzic. I'm sure you'll get one some day. At least you have more incentive now.
