Comments on: It's a Wii Christmas http://thingelstad.com/its-a-wii-christmas/ Jamie Thingelstad's personal blog Sat, 19 May 2012 15:23:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Ira http://thingelstad.com/its-a-wii-christmas/#comment-927 Ira Mon, 31 Dec 2007 01:51:22 +0000 http://www.thingelstad.com/2007/12/its-a-wii-christmas/#comment-927 I've been keeping up with the ol' Thingelstad.com a lot more religiously lately and this post nailed it for me. I picked up Mario Galaxy and Zack and Wiki for Christmas and they're both excellent. The attention to detail in the Mario game is mind-boggling, the gravity effects are stunning, and the control scheme just works so well. I picked up Zack and Wiki at the behest of the folks at IGN and indeed, they're right to push the hell out of this game. I want another one of these. Go out and buy this one. I've had the Zapper for a few weeks and I like it, but frankly with the family playing the system, it along with the guitar controller tie up the controllers a bit too much for my taste. I hate having to dig them out of these ancillary controllers when I have more than 2 people playing -- this is really the first system I've owned that more than two people REALLY want to play. Also, Jamie, I thought you might be interested in this video and the work this guy is doing with Wiimotes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw Nice write-up! I need to try the Tiger Woods.
