another feature you may not know about (Wii)

Nintendo' s hopes are that everyone in the family will own their own Wii remote, each with a distinct look, and that people can just hop into a game with the controller�and the Wii would customize the look or settings of a game based on which controller turned it on the console...."

That could be an interesting bit of customisation. More polish than essential, but it' d be nice.

You know what would be cool? If some third party could sell a gun attachement and maybe a reciever that goes on your chest that recieves signals and basically enables the remote/add-on to be used like laser tag. Imagine, having some buddies over for a party (everyone is drunk/stoned) and after some Super Smash 3 you decide to chase eachother in the forest with the Wii remotes.

Shit, you don' t even need the console to enjoy Wii.

How the hell would any random Wii know how I paint and draw on my own remote?

Nintendo should try to get TAIKO: Drum Master. The Wii controller and image is perfect for it!

It was freaky seeing professional men and women in suits queuing up to play that thing when I was in Tokyo last year

Customised Wii-motes, huh?

Mine would have a picture of Kenshiro, Taizo, and the Descent ship on it, with my future X-Box Live tag name on it. Yeah, that would be nice, so long as I don' t lose it... but I won' t lose it. Meanwhile, my sister' s would have Samus and Solid Snake on it, as well as her own photoshopped, artsy mug. My brother would have a neon blue and black Wii-mote, and the 2 baby brothers would have one green and one white.

My parents, having their own Wii-motes? The cost better be cheap for that to be a reality.

You wa Shock!!!
