I have to say that I spent a few hours tonight playing the Wii and the motion controller was so much fun, the Excite Truck game that was being demoed was excellent and a whole lot of fun.
Placing the controller on the side and using it as a driving wheel was so much fun. It was pretty amazing to see 3 different women come into the store tonight and try out the game and say.. "Hey this is a lot of fun, I think I will buy one for myself.. my husband/boyfriend can use mine.." Later that night I saw a few fathers try it out with their sons and say.. "..son we NEED to buy one of these..", "..this is the first game I have played since the 80s.."
It is when I heard that I knew that Nintendo hit the exact marketspace they wanted... everyone else and not the hardcore gamer... I have to say that their strategy of catering to everyone may just work out great for them.
I like the anime golf game by Tecmo that requires you to use the controller like a real golf club. I also like the Trauma Center game where you play an emergency room doctor, it just seems to me that the titles have a good variety for many people.
I am looking forward to Sunday for Zelda, Golf, Wii Sports, Trauma Center and Red Steel.
