The Ninty conference did look nice. Shigsy is always a show stealer, though.
Red Steel did look a bit clunky, but it still shows quite a lot of promise. Not too bad looking, either. The hands-on IGN got with Red Steel seemed pretty positive too, although they did say the pointer is a little
too jittery.
There wasn't much shown of Metroid Corruption, but what was shown looked rather spiffy. Again, the IGN hands-on was very positive, aside from a few jump/aiming glitches which popped up.
The tennis game did look very basic, and it was hard to see how the movements they were making affected the way the characters moved, but it is a deliberately simple affair without any particularly complex animations and they were playing in an extremely exaggerated fashion, which could go some way to explain that.
Zelda looks absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to get my hands on it! I wouldn't say the remote aiming looked particularly problematic. The only bit I saw the guy struggle with was when someone was shooting arrows at him while he was trying to aim. Nothing I saw in it looked anywhere as slow or awkward as trying to do that kind of aiming on an normal a-log stick.
Overall, it was a great show for Nintendo. The controller looks like it works, one or two hiccups notwithstanding; it'll be interesting to hear the proper hands-on reports from the show floor.
Straight Outta Trumpton.
