So I finally bought a Wii this weekend. My Gamecube started making a horrible noise, so it was a perfect opportunity.
I have decided that wiimotes weren't accidentally slipping from people's hands, they were throwing them at the TV. Countless childhood memories of rage came rushing back while playing Wii Sports. I fondly recall yelling at the TV while playing Super Mario Brothers so long ago, knowing full well the NES had some sort of grudge against me. Sometimes the NES controller would manage to hit the TV screen, luckily back in the CRT days, this didn't matter much. These days I have two things on my side though.
1) I throw like a girl
2) The TV is 10 feet away and hangs on the wall (see #1)
It should be interesting to see what sort of clever games come out in a few years, as one can compare the huge leaps in gameplay from Super Mario Brothers to Super Mario Brothers 3 on the NES.
