Anyone have a clue what that game was with the little blue thing that screen centered on as it fell into a cannon?

Also I'll be arsed if that video didn't get me stupidly hyped for the system. I guess even Wii games look good when the screen is that tiny.

That game is KoroLimpa, and based on those two seconds of footage it looks awesome!

Video was entertaining, and the console's mainstream appeal is evident...

But I didn't see much that didn't come off as quick mini game stuff. Zelda blew my face off though, as did Mario. And Wii Sports looks very cool. RE looks like a disappointment though, but we'll see.

Tomorrow should be better

Well I think this is the first bomb that really lived up to the hype. The price was what I expected, 200 would have been nice but Nintendo is in the money making business and why leave that 50 on the table. Great video for the Japanese market, the US one shoudl be awesome.

I swear more than half those games in that video were glorified minigames. It's weird that everyone called the DS a gimmick when it was revealed, yet no one is calling the Wii a gimmick, even though IMO it fits the gimmick label more than the DS did.

And yes I saw RE. It looked like a point & click game. :/

YOU were a glorified mini game before you were born. Don't piss on Nintendo's offerings before they deliver.

EVERYONE called Wii a gimmick. WTF are you smoking?

Point and click game? Because the Wiimote can function as a pointing device, any game that uses this feature is a point and click game?

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

I have to agree. I can see lots of mainstream appeal, but so far, not much for me personally. I'm all over DQS, Trauma Center, Zelda, Fire Emblem, and Mario... unfortunately, that's all the same stuff I knew I wanted before the conference.

Pretty atrocious showing.

Even the news reader is flashy! The way the words all move around to reformat when you change the zoom level.

VERY nice job with the interface. Which comes as a complete surprise after the fugly job they did with the DS.

And Pokemon: Battle Revolution continues to look fantastic (graphically, at least). Screw you guys whop insisted the first video of it must have been pre-rendered.

The interface looks nice, and I'll be damned if the weather didn't look neat. Also bonus points for the way the text jumps around when resizing everything in the browser.

But god damn does it need to make so much awful noise whenever you do anything? Anytime you hover over anything you get a noise, select it and you get a ding... jesus and they are all reallly abrasive.

Its picking nits sure... but I certainly hope there is an option to turn off most of the system sounds.

From the looks of it, I'd say we're only getting white since there is no other mention of black anywhere that I can see.

Not many new game announcements so far. Games matter more than non-game interface.
