Nunchuck.

I should work for Nintendo.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss

You'd still need some way to control the character's movement though. Technically you could stick a "jump" button and force controls on the stick but moving would be difficult. Oh for three hands :)

Same on all platforms really.

Some of the wii stuff was chugging like a bitch though, and that truck game looked truly awful - we were laughing our heads off in the office at the crapness of it...

Still, can't wait to try that funky controller!

What in particular was chugging? I can't specifically remember any signs of slowdown in any of the games.

In which, thinking about it, we should be able to do the following:

Fishing and Fly swatting.
Proper digging
Write letters with 'pen'
Fully 3D world
Zoom in and out
Do designs and stuff with the wand
Pick up and move things with controller
Can't wait for the catapult implementation either.

Anyone got more ideas about precicely how AC:Wii is going to be brilliant?

You could wield it like a feather duster - now you can dust a virtual house without leaving your armchair. :D

I've been in constant agony waiting for E3 all these months.

Now I realize, though, that the next six or so are going to be even worse.


I want my Wii, dammit.

And they've pushed New Super Mario Bros. back a week, too, so I can't even feed my N-cravings with that yet...

Red Steel, when he shoots the car while crouching at the top of the stairs.
That truck game throughout..

Worst by a mile is Gundam Breaker - jeezus!

First thing i did when i got home from work was a Metroid Hunters bot match - Ninty really enthused me with their fun and almost care-free conference. I have little doubt tthat they've got the competition thinking. Both MS and Sony have a lot to lose i guess. The possible interesting applications for the controller are numerous and i can imagine some serious multi-player minigame mayhem as living rooms across the globe bear witness to manically flailing controllers. Using it as an integrated walkie-talkie and plasma rifle is going to be a hoot. Giving Wario a virtual bitch slap is finally possible.
