    I agree with all five. The Wii remote does rock. One thing that I hate is that the battery runs out fast if you play it a long time.

    Yet all these virtually disappear when you're flailing around like an idiot when you just want to play a video game.

    I'll take a 360 controller 100% of the time for the next hundred years. It's perfect the way it is, can't get any better.

      I love how people still believe that that is all you do in Wii games.

        Enlighten me. I can't hardly believe a remote is any sort of quality controller.


        And obviously I'm exaggerating on the "flailing around like an idiot", if you didn't catch that, but the point is still there.

    4. is the worst, tbh. It's so annoying to hear the warning beeps when you're in 1st Place and you're seconds away from being nailed by a BSOD (Blue Shell of Doom).

      Agreed. Though the wiimote speaker is good for some games, other games are better with the wiimote speaker volume turned off.. (Tiger Woods, Mario Kart, etc.)

      I am very impressed with how the controller is used with games like Metroid Corruption and Mario Galaxy, the controls really do the games justice.

      I'll also add that the wiimotes are bastards to sync with other people's Wii's.

    The article seems to be mostly about the features of the Wii. Not about its functionality. Generally, it makes playing games more of a chore than fun.

      Ain't it the truth.

      - - - -

      Also, I'd hardly consider the last point a genuine reason why the Wiimote "rocks". Because people throw it around and hurt themselves/break objects? Oh yeah, that's gonna make me go buy one right away!

    I really disagree.

    1: While it's original and new to the gaming universe, it's bad! Nintendo just can't make the motion sensing controls interesting. Why would I raise my arm up while I can just press buttons?

    2: Nothing I can say about this one, except that it is a good idea that eventually worked.

    3: Again, nothing to be said. Great idea, I did that with my friends at times.

    4: Ugh, I hate the speaker. It's really useless when I'm racing in Mario Kart Wii. I can see the indicator at the bottom of the screen, no need to hear the shell noise.

    5: No thanks. I rather play with my Gamecube controller, as it's easier and not annoying. I also cannot forget about the batteries, which will cost you money.

    I do like the picture thought. :twinky:
