Heh... think of the all of the exercise that you'll get out of swinging it around with your arm. Besides, playing too long on the Nintendo damages your eyes, so swinging the Wii-mote around as a sword will tire you out to a point where you'll have to get off. Brilliant.
Neat, now I have a reason to 'accidentally' hit people with my Wiimote.
Most footage of people actually playing the Wii that I've seen has been relatively low-movement. Your arms might get tired, but it doesn't seem too strenuous. The jumping and all that in the commercials is (obviously) exaggerated in order to emphasize a point.
I am excited for this game. I am very excited. Like, it's just...well, I'm really, really excited. And that's just right now. Like, when the release date is finally announced and is coming up soon, then...I don't know. I'll likely lose sleep. The night before will be like Christmas Eve for a six-year-old. And when I actually hold my copy in my quivering hands?
...Man. I'm pumped.
Yeah, I'm excited. I'll probably get the cube version, though. The Wii one sounds fun, sure, but I'm not sure when I'll be getting a Wii, and the GCN is out now, so, the sooner the better in my book

Be honest: you're the "NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOOOOOOOUR!" kid aren't you?

I'm also fairly certain Nintendo knows this.Odds are you'll be able to sit on the couch and control the sword with fast movements of the wrists, which from the sounds of it most of you guys are quite used to that lifestyle already.
I don't have a couch to sit on, I also do not have a very good distance to sit from the TV. You sit down in a chair like any person like you do at your PC. I understand some people have their game systems hooked up in a big room with a big TV, but that's some people, not everyone.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of LightGun based games and have played them with no problem. And the Wii sounds interesting. Again my complaint is I don't want to play Zelda, a game that was originally developed for the GameCube and a traditional controller, on some after-thought control scheme. It might be cool, it might not. The fact that they don't include an option is insulting.
WindStrike, you can play games all day long. It won't damage your eyes. Now if you sit 1" from the TV screen, sure. Also it helps if you have an LCD display. Plus who are you to tell anyone how long they can use their game systems or watch TV? Most people here are adults and can do whatever they want.
I think I said this before...
but do not be surprised in Nintendo follows the strengthen your brain series with some sort of exercise games with the Wii. I think they could strike gold like that.

I think Masamune made a post about him, having found his MySpace page. I'm probably a good seven or eight years older than him. Actually, I owned Ocarina of Time[/b] before I owned an N64. My mom didn't like the idea of me getting an N64 so I just got the game and either rented or borrowed the system. (And I was like sixteen or seventeen.) I was all the way to the Water Temple, in fact, when Christmas rolled around and I got the big N-6-4. And I was happy to have it, yes, but nowhere near as crazy as that guy.
But, when the release date was approaching, oh, my, was I jazzed. I remember when school let out on November 23, 1998. All I had between me and it was after school play rehearsal, and I was buzzing with excitement. My director knew what was going on, and was amused about it. It was so rad. I think this is going to be something like that. (Except it's almost a decade later, and all that that implies.)
Plus, we have [i]Phantom Hourglass coming up, too. I'm a little less pumped about that game than I was initially, since I learned that you use the stylus to control the fairy, thus indirectly controlling Link. I really wanted a new 2-D-with-3-D-graphics Zelda game that you controlled with the control pad, but...oh well. You can't always get what you want.
... the new zelda? i want that... if i dont get the wii this christmas, ill start crying... seriosly... i... need zelda...
... zelda...
