DiemetriX Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 A portion of an article from the Detroit Free Press… The Nintendo Wii is absolutely tiny compared to the PS3 — where the Sony console is bigger than the original PS2 (let alone the svelte pared-down “New PS2″ version), the Wii is about the size of a hardcover book. It’s slightly less complicated than the PS3 to hook up, but that’s mostly because you have fewer choices of inputs and fewer menu options to fuss with. And that funky controller you’ve been hearing so much about — the one that’s shaped like a remote control? I’ve tried it vertically (â€The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princessâ€) and horizontally (â€Excite Truckâ€) and am here to say: it’s a heck of a lot more fun than you’d think. Like maybe worth-the-$250-all-by-itself fun. As in maybe-there’s-a-reason-Cartman-wanted-a-Wii-and-not-a-PS3-on-â€South Park†fun.

The3rdChildren Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Always nice to hear non-gaming publications praising anything Nintendo. Nice find.

Jasper Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Great news for Nintendo: people are noticing, even those who aren't gaming. Now get the ads started across Europe and everything is going to be fine...
