I agree with what some of you have said, but I also disagree with a lot. I mean yes we all hate friend codes, online should be way better than it is. And sure it would be nice if the graphics were better...but...

For one, the Wii controller isnt Gimmicky. Just the fact that my parents actually wanted to try it is enough for me. I couldnt have gotten them to pick up a controller before the wii came along if I tried. The fact that people who have never played videogames before are suddenly interested is, in my opinion, a huge success for Nintendo and the industry alike. I mean, before the Wii seldom would videogames be played at actual parties lets say. A few weeks ago my friends parents were out of town and he had quite a few people over...and we played the Wii. If this were to even happen before (and it probably wouldnt), only a few people would actually play. With wii, everyone wants to play and I think its great. Also, I disagree entirely about Nintendo not being serious. If Nintendo wasnt serious anymore, Mario and Zelda and Metroid would all be lame. I mean its obvious to me Nintendo still cares very much about making great games, I mean Zelda and Mario were as good as they have been since OOT and Mario 64.

And Professor, you cant tell me Twilight Princess was superficial...
