Somewhere deep in the heart of rural America...

American 1: Wrist strap. I don't need no stinkin' wrist strap just for a game of bowling.
Swings arm to bowl. Wii controller slips out, breaking TV in the process
American 2: Shit dude, you broke my TV.
American 1: Don't worry man, we'll just deliberately break the wrist strap now then post about it all over the interwebs; Nintendo will soon send you out a nice shiny new TV to replace the one "they" broke.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the sprawling urban spread of LA

American Kid 1: Like wow! You have to swing the remote around to, like, throw these cows.
American Kid 2: Cool. But I bet you could spin them a lot faster if you just held onto the wrist strap and whizzed it round your head using that.
American Kid 1: Nice idea dude.
Spins controller by the strap as fast as he can, until the strap breaks and the controller goes flying into the wall
American Kid 2: Shit man, you broke it. What are you going to do?
American Kid 1: Dad! Dad! The Nintendo wrist strap broke all on its own...

But I'll still be threading some fishing line through mine when I get it, just in case

Prize to the first moron to glue their wiimote to a powerdrill to see how fast they can spin it

I am SO FUCKING HYPED right now. I feel a bit embarrassed as I am 32 years old. After the PS2 silliness I promised myself that I'd never buy a concole at launch again but ...

Christ, I think I'm going to have a heart attack.

Well said, that man. Nintendo blow away the cobwebs of cynicism with one quick flick of the virtual tennis racquet.

The wait, as Cartman so rightly put it, is literally killing me.

Why would you be more interested? if the Wii didnt have a revolutionary control input it wouldnt offer anything that the PS3 or 360 already have.

cheaper? seems quite important to me.

A Wii without a Wii mote is basically a Gamecube, apart from the online play and the VC.

if the Wii didnt have the Wii mote, it would need to hav comparable graphical power, in which case it would cost more.

For me, just an updated cube with online play and VC would be pretty good, although I'm not sure it's â‚¬250 worth of pretty good when a new cubie can be had for â‚¬70 or so. Still, I'm stoked about the Wii, even if the wiimote does turn out to be only really good for niche games.

I was replying to the first statement which was:

If the Revolution (Wii is still such a stupid name to say) hadn't had that stupid controller, I might be more interested.

Basically i was saying if your not intersted in the Wii-mote as an input device, you might aswell get a PS3 or 360,

I bet I could do a rinsin' version of GR++ on the Wii. Ship control on the nunchuck, vectored shooting and emergency teleporting aimed via the wii-wand

.

Just wait until you play Laser Hockey, you might want to think about changing the Nunchaku to the Wiimote

Or better yet, come up with something different, dual Wiimotes ftw

Where have you got that idea?

It already makes "locked" games like Zelda, Monkey Ball, Trauma Center and Madden control better than the "old" method, and these are only the launch games.

Bloody hell ...

If some people are NOT able to use properly a Wii remote, wear a strap
and just be a bit cautious when waving a thing around I am asking myself
"what kind of job such kind of people can do ?"

I hope they'll NEVER do/touch anything mechanic involving working with
machinery and/or power tools then, or even worse being in a kitchen
working with knives and other things.

I remember using a Hilti to removes some of the old coating in the house
now that is a thing that can slip from your hands while using it
