My sister got rid of the first mario party game because it was so harsh on the controllers. SSB is pretty hard on 'em too, but it was fun enough to be worth it.
I think it would work better for players like me. just using your thumbs and index fingers in games is extremely limiting. You can only do well if you have fast thumbs. This will allow for faster command combinations.
Stop-just-stop yourself. If Salt has a Gamecube, and wants to play Zelda, buying the game he wants on the system he has is not a horrible idea. Especially since, unlike the usual case, GC Zelda isn't going to be an inferior port (see also: every multiplatform game ever) but in fact a game developed for the Gamecube. So there's not that much downside to it, other than not being able to play it backwards and with the waggle wand, but it does have the upside of not costing $300 right off.
Yeah, but he was trying to say that since there are so many other good games coming for the Wii that any statements regarding buying it for one game are ignorant. And I have to agree. Although I see your reasoning, I hate it when people say that. There might be a game you want so much that you go out and by the system so you can play it, but there are also plenty of other games that you can and will buy to play on it.
It's theoretically possible that some people haven't yet been sold on the idea of the Wii. In that case, an established series like Zelda could very well be their only current incentive to take the plunge for a new system. Further, if the same game is available for a console they already own, there would be little to no incentive to go through with the upgrade.
I myself am on the fence in this regard. I don't expect to have a great deal of extra spending money by November 19th, and $50 is a hell of a lot less than $300, last time I checked. That doesn't mean I'll never get a Wii, but I'm not terribly optimistic at getting one at launch time (a shame, since I was able to do this for the Game Boy Advance, the GameCube and the original DS. Had a lot of fun waiting outside of Target in the early mornin', too).
The Wii is a mere 13 days away....I have a Nintendo Power with tons of info:
I.The Wii comes with:
A.The Hardware Consol
B.One Wii remote+ nunchuck attachment
C.Sensor bar (to detect positions of Wiimotes)
D.Wii Sports™
E.Wrist strap and all necessary cords for hookup
II.The Wii chanels
A.Disc Channel-plays games.
B.Mii chanel-creates your own avatar (as seen in the SCIENCE! thread)
C.Photo Channel-Downloads pictures from your camera for editing, and saving
D.Forecast channel-shows you the weather around the world.
E.Wii shop channel-buys Virtual Consoles...web browsers...etc. You use Wii points as currency. (1¢ per point.)
F.News channel-take a wild guess what you can watch on this channel.
G.Wii message Board-personal calender where you can post notes.
Wii can also download past games on the Wii shop channel!
In Nintendo Power, every staff member's #1 game was The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess.
That was probably at the Nintendo Fusion Tour or whatever it was called. A friend of mine went to it, but I don't know if he got to try it out. The line was probably horrendous.
I missed out on the chance to preorder my Wii. However, I have a couple friends who work at various Game Stops. One is going to grab me a Wii as soon as second shipment comes in (assuming he's working that day, which he hopefully will be, since he's full time).

No, Battalian Wars honestly had some messed up controls.
Stop-just-stop. Another system just for TP? Bull. There are going to be so many other awesome games.....so I believe you just insulted the Wii.
Fo sho'!
