It *is* definitely harder than the analogue stick, but goodness it's so much more fun. It's still as precise but the lack of centering and difficulty of quick movements make it more of a challenge.
I don't feel it's harder than an analogue stick as I didn't have trouble with quick movements or centering after I got used to it. We can definitely agree that it's a whole lot more fun though. How are the minigames by the way? Another question, is there any way to play all the levels in a single world straight through like in SMB 1 and 2?
Didn't anyone buy a FPS with their Wii? I'm dying to hear impressions about the controls.

This game is amazing and huge, as reported earlier. It took me 5 hours to get past the first dungeon. 5 hours and I only just got my fourth heart. Man. I want to play more right now, but have work tmw.
Good little summary there SiN, I agree. Today has gone fast and I'm knackered, it's been video games all the way today, so I'm off to bed. Just played Zelda for a couple of hours and have nothing really to add. It's just a work of art, almost literally. First day with the machine I'd say it's everything I hoped it would be, and anyone who loves video games and is getting one will love it.
...but unlike the launch of the PS3, the assembled queues are showered with love rather than bullets

These people are not affiliated with Nintendo; they just wanted to make the wait more comfortable for others, politely and at their own personal expense. It’s the kind of thing that reminds even the most cynical that even at a consumer event, gamers are a community first.
By now everyone knows that the Wii is not region free, but fret not. I imported all of the Naruto games on gamecube and had to order a boot disk (Freeloader) to get them to with my gamecube. Got my Wii tonight (I am loving this system so far) and decided to test out my import games. The didnt work using them alone, but I used freeloader and now my import games work on my Wii as if they were on my Gamecube.
Word of caution: I inserted the freeloader disk, and selected it from the disc channel, the system read it and restarted. Went back to the disc channel again, selected the freeloader and the system took me to the normal freeloader screen and asked me to swap the disk like normal. I am assuming that the freeloader disc needs to be in the system from the start, or it may restart after the first read. Either way it works, and I will be trading in my gamecube tomorrow.

The super long email address with nothing but numbers doesn't make it very simple per se to remember, but if I get added to their contact list, emailing is simple enough. It's even highly readable considering 480i atm.
I enjoy the bright blue light when I have recieved new data (specificly, the test emails, right now).
Hmmm, picture looks rather muddy reading down that thread. Looks like 1.0 (European Version) doesn't work at all, and someone else can't get 1.06b to work (the version used by the OP).

Ah, well I hadn't read the whole thread (I saw a link to it with the extract I posted). Someone goes on to claim that trying it 'killed' their Wii, so be careful...
