The Wii Hands-On

Wii LogoNo, that title only sounds dirty if you have a dirty mind. Moving on. . .

Chris at Game|Spot has played a few of the Wii launch games now and filed some reports. Here are the links:

To sum it all up: Rayman looks like the most fun. The car games work thanks to the silly-looking steering wheel. Splinter Cell is a little too complicated a direct port of a Last Gen game. And Red Steel has gotten a lot better and plays like fun.

Now, here’s what I want to know: When will they port TIME CRISIS to the Wii? It should be a natural fit for this controller.

Remember: Toys R Us is taking pre-orders on Sunday. . .

    I missed out on pre-orders at EB/Gamestop because of a job hunt. Well, I doubt sseriously I’ll be going anywhere before the 19th, so I’ll be Toys R Us bound on Sunday. They open at noon and I am going to try to be there at about 10 and HOPEFULLY not have too big a crowd there.

    GameCube Version 2.0 folks with a gimmicky controller.

    Oh, it WILL sell well this year but I’m not so sure it will be a bigger hit by Year Three than the GameCube was.

    We all know how THAT story turned out.

    P.S. — The hype mission is turned way up this year. I’m waiting a year for the dust to settle and THEN maybe I’ll get a PS3 or Wii. No plans to ever get any X-Box system since MS fails to interest me with their exclusives.

    P.S. P.S. — Yeah, the ‘Cube is a relative sales failure, but I still love the cute little box! Kept mine unlike a bunch of other people who jumped ship for the other systems.
