    And in other news, stupid fat people are complaining that a sudden burst of activity through wii play makes strange 'aching' feeling in areas medically known as 'muscles'. Stupid fat people start to sue Nintendo.

    Hmm Hexus.gaming is refusing to load for me today. Forums are fine but the site is hanging after the main "menu" bar, anyone else having the same problem?

    I swung the remote so hard whilst batting in the baseball game that I spun around twice and landed flat on my arse and in tennis whilst attempting a smash shot I nearly went through the TV Meanwhle, Nintendo staff were looking very nervous.

    You couldn't feel the point of impact when you hit the ball if that's what you mean (no rumble effect). I'm racking my brains trying to remember if the speaker in the wii-mote made any noise. I don't think it did.

    On Red Steel the Wii-mote made noises when you were reloading.

    the rumble effect duffs up the motion tracking, thats what they were saying earlier.

    it'd be good if they put in the sounds when you hit the ball, but i dont think its necessary

    hopefully when the star wars game's released, there'll be a swoosh when you swing it over your head

    I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I wonder what would be more fun, playing it or watching someone do some of the antics you've described. Either way can't wait to get a chance to try it out.

    Reading that the Wii was being a little scoffed at due to it not being HD, it makes up for that by having a fun and innovative control method. It reminds me of how early videogames were: More gameplay as the graphics capabilities just weren't there. Too many modern games have been poor to play but look pretty and now the Wii joins in bringing mad fun back to games like Decathlon and Sensible (sic) soccer.

    And yes, a Star Wars title? Watch sales of brown hooded dressing gowns rocket!
