My son Kevin is saving up his allowance and says he is buying one. I'll probably try his out once he has it.

I might be also after watching all these games on G4 + watching the press conference for a second time.

Innovation is overrated and so are most of Nintendo's first party games.

I disagree.

Graphics are much more overrated.

How is innovation overrated? I kind of don't blame Nintendo for taking that plunge yet to HiDef gaming since there aren't that many people out there with HDTV's. Granted they don't have HiDef, they are making up with it on gameplay + innovation with that controller.

I don't know how long you have been playing games for, but Nintendo has never been about the graphics.

One thing that Nintendo offers over the other 2 systems also is that it's not a port pit of games. Many originals will appear on the system.

At launch. My 360 is for Sports Games, and FPS's. The Wii is for all the other platforms, plus playing vintage NES games is gonna be a blast as well. Mario Galaxy, Zelda, and the promise of a Duck Hunt game makes me want the system now.

I just saw the light gun mockup and that brought back memories.

Innovation isn't overrated but nintendo's games sure are.

You haven't even played them yet, so how can you make such a blanket statement? Not that it matters, since you seem to want to dislike the Wii so much that your prejudice will likely prevent you from enjoying any Wii titles.

You may end up with some FPS' on your Wii as well. I hate the FPS genre but this control scheme makes me at least want to give them another chance, probably with Metroid or something.

Where did I say that the wii games were overrated? I'm talking about nintendo games in general.

You've downplayed the Wii controller in other places, so while you may not have specifically cited the Wii in your previous post I'm sure it was on your mind and intended to be lumped in with your generalization.
