Art direction does make a big difference. I would put ICO, FFXII, KH2 SOTC etc.. of up against most next-generation titles that have been revealed and aesthetically they would win out in most cases, but thats not to say they are in the same leauge technically or graphically. Zelda TPP is the same way. Again, not to say it isn't an amazingly crafted game--it is. But when you look at it, and then see things like COD:3, Fight Night, Lost Planet, Mass Effect etc.. there is a profound difference.

Well, I see this in a relatively simple manner:
Nintendo can afford to sell Wii Sports in Japan, as they know the Japanese will eat it up. Those in the United States I do not think will be prone to buyin this title (as you have illustrated, and I would as well - no more than 20-30 USD would I pay..). Thusly I believe it's rather smart to bundle it, as I think a lot more people will enjoy it than they think.
But without 2 Wiimotes? It's ridiculous. I understand greed and all, but this is just.. insane? Nonsensical? Why, why, WHY would it be done that way? No one is going to get home with Wiisports and one mote and think "awesome game.. sweet.." It's only once the interaction comes between players and friends. After my experience at E3, I can't say it'd be all that fun alone unless some major changes were made.

If it was online, that would make a difference, but unless it is, i agree.
BTW... how would you multiplay that boxing game if it isn't online? You would need to lan with two TV's... It would be very awkward to play the guy on the far side of the screen... It's sort of a first person game. I guess you could do split screen?

And the last bit of 100 Marios falls into place with the Mii Avatar settings.

can it stream photos from a PC over the network, not just SD cards?
If so, wouldn't it make sense to also let you stream music while viewing a slideshow? And perhaps stream video?
Its odd. With all the new attention on media, there is still nobody that has the whole package done properly.

And even i am moderately surprised
or buy "my first wii" for $40 and get a game and a remote, put the $10 extra for the nun-chuck and you get a "Free" game.
Plus you get some of nickle and dime shit that you have to pay through the nose for else where (the stand for instance - say hello to 3000 yen saved!, strap etc...)

But games like COD3, Fight Night and such don't make me go WOW (in a good way). I can see they're technical masterpieces on their own, but the more devs try to make games realistic (doesn't mean they have to have realistic setting), the easier is to find the flaws in such games. In Zelda: TP it doesn't really matter if floor textures aren't super sharp (or well sharp at all), but when you see in Lost Planet how people and robots don't leave footprints and such in the snow, it takes a lot away from the WOW effect and makes you think it doesn't really look that nice.
So in short, the more realistic the game is, the more you'll nitpick about all the flaws. It'll never end, no matter how powerful hardware you have (in many movies with some super effects, the smallest mistakes crash the whole experience IMO).

All bundling the Wii with Wii sports does is give Nintendo an excuse to sell the system at $250 state-side. They're basically forcing us to buy the game, that the least amount of US gamers are interested in. Its sort of like the retailers that forced people to buy the PS2 with fantavision at a higher price. Gamers will still buy the games they actually want, so its an extra software sale for Nintendo. And the people who are actually interested in Wii-Sports will have to buy an extra controller. May be a business savy move, but it sucks for most gamers. And they say Nintendo is all about pleasing the gamers.:lol :lol

Most likely, they're the online and VC/shopping menus.DefectiveReject said:
EDIT - I think, concerning online, we'll be hearing much more about that by way of Western news (New York and London conferences), as online gameplay seems to be more important over here than it is in Japan (ie, Xbox 360 not doing as well over there, etc.).

Maybe they're just trying to get people who are lukewarm to the game to try it out.
This really hinges on whether or not there's an extra controller. If there is, it's a good price. If there isn't, then it's Wii Sports' fault, and I'm not playing it out of principle.

Okay, maybe I willstill try it out. But under protest.
