    My Wii Experience

    My local Gamestop has a Wii station set up. The game they had was ExciteTruck. The game itelf was fun, although I felt that the turning was too tight. No option to adjust the sensitivity like some other games have reported. After a few minutes I was able to adjust, and even won all the races on the "bronze" difficulty. Still, I'd hold off on this game until it gets moved to the bargain bin, or at least get it used.

    I played around in the system menu for a while to get used to the pointer (Excitetruck uses a "hold the controller sideways and tilt" system). It was at first impossible to control, but after I got to the settings menu and adjusted it, it felt smooth. Pointed around for a bit, all was very comfortable. The remote itself sat very nicely in my hand. Obviously, I didn't get a chance to use the nunchuck, so no idea how that set-up feels. Overall, though, I feel very optimistic about the Wii- the pointer feels nice, it's merely an issue of developers including sensitivity options within games.
    Oh, if you want it to be possesive, it's just "i-t-s"; but if you want it to be a contraction then it's "i-t-apostrophe-s"... scallawag.

    Today I tried out Excitetruck on a Wii at a nearby EB Games. Very fun. I thought the handling was pretty good.

    Re: My Wii Experience

    I saw a Wii setup at my local Gamestop last week, but I couldn't play it cause they hadn't received a Wii-mote yet. I'll have to check to see if they have it now. I will say I was shocked at how tiny the system is. I heard it was small, but I didn't know it was that small. Very nice Nintendo

    You freakin' lucky dogs. I haven't been to our Gamestop since... July, so I haven't checked to see if it has a kiosk. I bet you it doesn't. -_-

    Plus, I'm waiting for the GCN Twilight Princess. Only 29 days....

    You think you have a problem? My nearest Game ANYTHING store is 25 miles away.

    I blame Wal-Mart for killing the local one.
