I know that Refalm. I've been on the forum before the demise of my account.


And Lead Head, I've been playing Wii for like slightly more than a year. The only times I get lazy on the Wii is when I'm usually playing Super Paper Mario.


Oh, and Project Natal is the ideal solution for those H1N1 contaminated people.


Project Natal might get positive reviews like Windows 7 but it is another product for people who don't know what "sanitizing" means. And I bet it will be hands free technology. Does that mean you can play Xbox 360 in the car? No. You have to keep your hands on the wheel.


I know Microsoft is trying to be clever, just wait until the failure rate gets high. It's another product that does not follow the strict definition of video gaming like the PS3 but unlike the Wii.


It's good to be clever but it's better to be good.

And don't forget, Shigeru Miyamoto said in an interview with Wired.com during E3 2009's period that using motion sensing technology like Project Natal doesn't give you enhancements like force feedback or external sound from the controller because you don't have anything to hold, just an invisible size zero controller that does nothing useful but make you press the wrong buttons and lose on an Xbox 360 2D sidescroller.

Video game idea - with a handful of sensor devices (just like the Wiimote or Nunchuk controller), one could learn karate.  Put one in each hand, and one on each ankle, to start with.  They wouldn't have to have buttons or anything, just be capable of tracking motion.  Expert mode might also be used with shoulder and knee sensors.  After learning certain moves, and practicing kata, the player could test himself in a match with a virtual opponent.  It might seem like a game, but the real goal here is to teach karate as a form of self defense and physical/mental fitness.  Other martial arts might also be adaptable - kung-fu, taekwondo, etc.  Look at all the shitty exercise games that are coming out to compete with Wii Fitness - this would be 100x cooler than that, and still help with cardiovascular health and provide a fitness routine.

Yeah, if Wii had advanced motion sensing technology, you could play Super Paper Mario or New Super Mario Bros. Wii without a controller. Jump to jump, lean left or right to move either way, punch to shoot a fireball, kick left or right to jump and move, shake yourself to Spin Jump or propel in the sky et cetera. Pretty nice huh?

The Wii has advanced motion sensing technology. It's called Wii MotionPlus, and they introduced it with Wii Sports Resort, and was released in June 2009.
A bit of a disappointment that it wasn't introduced earlier, or indeed Super Paper Mario could have been way cooler.
