i heard wii made a controller that doesnt involve the swinging... but is it true? because the zelda game sounds good and of course... ocarina of time for the n64 was the best game ever."
lol, I dunno about you, but my waist line could do with a little more movement then hitting the keys!
Quote: "I think you're over-estimating just how vigorous a movement is required to trip the sensor. It's nothing like you describe, but in short I think the Wii will sort out the lazy sods from the mildly-fit ones
If you're not capable of moving your arms gently for more than an hour without getting sore the next day, then I'd say you've got bigger issues to worry about than your console."

Nintendo should really take this into account, with so many people being unfit these days not many would be able to adjust to physically interacting with the game.

That's part of the game experience. In real life you'd get tired swining your heavy sword."
Pfft. You adapt by doing. I'm terrible simply because I find repetitive exercise boring as heck, and have never been much for team sports even as a teen when I could hike all day and not worry about it!

I think perhaps the point is nintendo HAVE taken this into account and finally made a console that will help tackle this. People should NOT be that unfit, its not healthy, its the fast track to death and to be honest a big reason for it is such fun and addictive games getting better and better and having people sat in doors instead of playing in the street like we used to years ago. Now someone has made a console with awesome games, nice and fun but also requires a little activity. this whole "im not fit enough, I cant do it!" is nonsense, do it for just a little while for as much as you can and you will find your stamina rising, your fitness getting slightly better, etc. and after that you will be able to play the same games as everyone else AND will be a healthier person for it."

Wii in action - Two people playing virtual drums!
E3 Demo, 4 people playing Tennis
I dunno about you, but that looks like fun. Plus, while you might not do too well to begin with, in the physical aspect, the more you play, the fitter you will get.
